Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing®,
and Jin Shin with Santa Fe Counseling

“Embrace the tiger
Flow like water
Shimmering in the light.”

- Lynnette, Client -

You may be just embarking on your recovery.  Or you may have already addressed the effects of trauma on the mental/emotional levels – but your nervous system may still be activated, causing anxiety, depression, or medical complications. Body centered psychotherapy can make a difference.

You and I will work together as co-partners, using body centered psychotherapy, in Santa Fe or on the phone – so that you can release undue emotional charge, realize greater self-understanding, know deeper wells of trust, and befriend your spiritual resources.

Areas of focus in my Santa Fe counseling practice are:

• Trauma, PTSD
• Anxiety and Depression
• Unresolved Issues
• Gender Issues
• Relationships and Communication
• Health
• Mentoring

We will use Somatic Experiencing® (SE) and Jin Shin Energy Balancing, as well as psychological insight and mindfulness.

Somatic Experiencing® is a therapeutic method developed for discharging traumatic stress and rebalancing the nervous system.  In this work one does not have to revisit the original traumatic event to recover.  I will guide you from cognitive thoughts and symptoms into the sensate realm where your nervous system can shift from arousal to relaxation.

Jin Shin, the Compassionate Art of Healing, is a Japanese way of energy balancing. Using gentle touch, lightly applied, on energy points, it clears meridians to awaken the free flow of energy and optimize the functioning of the immune system.
