Trauma therapy · Waltham · Watertown · Online across Massachusetts
The past keeps showing up
in the present.
Talking about it hasn’t made it stop, because trauma isn’t stored as a story. It’s held in the body. We go back to it with you, guided and at a pace that stays safe, so it can finally be put to rest.
Most major insurance accepted. Free 30-minute phone consult.
What this can feel like
Sound familiar?
“It was a long time ago. Why does it still get me?”
“I don’t want to open that up.”
“I should be over this.”
Reactions bigger than the moment.
A tone of voice or a smell, and suddenly you’re somewhere else.
On guard, even when nothing’s wrong.
Your body never fully relaxes.
Going numb or checking out.
Especially when things get close.
Memories you steer around.
You’ve built a life that avoids certain rooms.
What we do differently
Why it hasn’t faded on its own
Trauma isn’t stored as a story you can reason with. It’s held in the body, which is why talking about it often isn’t enough and sometimes makes it worse. We work with the body’s memory directly, and gently.
You set the pace. Nothing gets forced open.
The sensation holds the memory. Resolving it there is what lets the reaction stop.
You still remember. It just stops running the present.
How a session works
What to expect in the room
You set the pace.
Your clinician guides you the whole way. Nothing gets forced open, and you stay in control.
We go slowly and stay grounded.
Your clinician keeps you present the whole time, and stops if it’s too much.
You notice a difference.
Many people feel their body settle in the room, and leave with one thing to notice this week.

Why people choose us
“The body can tell a story that the mind can’t even really make sense of sometimes. The feelings that come up when you’re telling that story are so potent and powerful. Somehow, becoming conscious of what you are describing and conscious of where those feelings are coming from dissipates the charge.”Pauline L., client
Before you book
Questions people ask first
How quickly can I get in?
There’s no waitlist. Book a free 30-minute phone consult, we confirm your insurance, and we match you with a clinician right away.
Is this safe if I get overwhelmed easily?
Yes. We go at your pace, your clinician keeps you grounded, and you can stop at any point.
Is this like EMDR or somatic therapy?
It shares the body-based focus. The difference is that we follow the sensation to the specific experience behind it and resolve it there.
Can I do this online?
Yes. Some people prefer in person for body-focused work; both offices are available.
Is it covered by insurance?
We’re in-network with most major plans and we confirm your coverage before your first session.
