Do You Struggle With Unresolved Trauma or Anxiety That Won't Go Away?

Many people who come to Living Well Therapy have been struggling for years. You might be dealing with trauma that still affects how you sleep, how you relate to others, and how safe you feel in your own body.

Learn About Our Approach

Why Somatic Experiencing Works When Talk Therapy Isn't Enough

Living Well Therapy exists to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and addiction and to support couples and families in building stronger, more connected relationships. We take a nervous-system-centered approach and integrate mindful, body-based practices to help you develop steadiness, resilience, and real change that lasts.

What Makes Living Well Therapy Different From Other Therapists

What sets Living Well Therapy apart is how we combine mindful somatic therapy, parts work, and attachment-based therapy. We are especially focused on nervous system regulation because when your system feels safer, thinking gets clearer, emotions become more manageable, and relationships improve. Our style is direct, warm, and personal.
“Imagine your nervous system is like a high-performance engine. When we face a scary or stressful event, that engine revs up to help us survive. Usually, once the danger passes, the engine should naturally idle back down. But sometimes, that revved-up energy gets stuck, or you get stuck with no energy as though the engine cannot get in gear. Somatic Experiencing is a body-first approach designed to help your engine find its way back to neutral. Unlike traditional therapy that focuses mostly on the story of what happened, SE focuses on the sensations in your body.”
