Sensorimotor & Somatic Psychotherapies work directly with the body's sensations, movements, and physical experiences to process trauma. These approaches recognize that trauma is stored in the body and nervous system, not just the mind. By bringing awareness to bodily sensations, gestures, and movement patterns, clients can complete survival responses that were interrupted during traumatic experiences and develop new, adaptive patterns that support healing and regulation.

Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment & Parts Work uses a phase-based approach to healing, prioritizing safety and stabilization before processing trauma. This method recognizes that trauma can cause fragmentation of the self into different parts or states. Through compassionate parts work, clients learn to understand, communicate with, and integrate these protective and wounded parts, creating internal collaboration and coherence rather than conflict.

Somatic Movement utilizes intentional, mindful movement practices to release trauma held in the body, increase body awareness, and develop new patterns of relating to physical sensations. Movement becomes a language for processing what words cannot express, helping clients reconnect with their bodies, release chronic tension and pain, and build capacity for embodied presence and pleasure.

Polyvagal Theory provides a framework for understanding how the autonomic nervous system responds to safety and threat. This approach helps clients recognize their nervous system states—social engagement, fight/flight, or shutdown—and develop practices to shift between these states intentionally. By building awareness of nervous system patterns, clients can cultivate regulation, safety, and the capacity for authentic connection with themselves and others.

Attachment Based Framework & DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) focuses on healing relational trauma and attachment wounds through the therapeutic relationship itself. This approach recognizes that early attachment experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Through attuned, responsive therapeutic presence and co-regulation, clients can develop earned secure attachment, repair developmental trauma, and build capacity for healthy, connected relationships.

Movement Science applies research-based understanding of how the body moves, holds tension, and responds to stress to inform therapeutic interventions. This approach integrates knowledge of biomechanics, neuroscience, and embodiment to help clients understand their physical patterns, release chronic holding, and develop more adaptive ways of inhabiting their bodies that support both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Dissociative Disorders & Structural Dissociation Framework provides a comprehensive understanding of how trauma can cause the personality to fragment into distinct parts or subsystems, each holding different experiences, emotions, and functions. This framework recognizes dissociation as an adaptive survival response to overwhelming trauma, particularly in childhood. Through specialized therapeutic approaches, clients can work with different parts of their personality structure—emotional parts that hold traumatic memories and experiences, and apparently normal parts that manage daily functioning—to achieve greater integration, cooperation, and wholeness.
