Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Healing Through Body Awareness

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the connection between mind and body. When we experience trauma or ongoing stress, our bodies often hold on to tension, defensive patterns, or incomplete survival responses. By gently paying attention to sensations, movements, and posture, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy helps you process unresolved experiences and restore balance.

This approach integrates talk therapy with body-based awareness, offering new ways to understand and work through challenges that may not be fully accessible through words alone.
