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.

1
We start with what’s safe.

You set the pace. Nothing gets forced open.

2
We work with the body, not just the story.

The sensation holds the memory. Resolving it there is what lets the reaction stop.

3
The past goes back to being the past.

You still remember. It just stops running the present.

How a session works

What to expect in the room

1

You set the pace.

Your clinician guides you the whole way. Nothing gets forced open, and you stay in control.

2

We go slowly and stay grounded.

Your clinician keeps you present the whole time, and stops if it’s too much.

3

You notice a difference.

Many people feel their body settle in the room, and leave with one thing to notice this week.

“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.
