Vanessa B. Tate, LMFT

At Vanessa B. Tate Somatic Psychotherapy for Body Mind Spirit, we believe that transformation is possible by honoring the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with extensive education and training in Somatic Psychotherapy, I have the privilege of working with individuals and couples willing to explore the somatic approach to navigate life's challenges.

About Us

As a seasoned therapist, I have spent over two decades honing my skills in various settings and environments, from universities and private practices to hospitals and non-profit organizations. My education has equipped me with a robust understanding of Somatic Psychotherapy, which emphasizes the significance of the physical and energetic body's connection to our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

My Approach

With compassion, empathy, and expertise, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your inner workings. By incorporating somatic practices such as breathing techniques, movement, and co-regulating touch, I help individuals and couples develop self-awareness, mindfulness, and a deeper understanding of their body's language. This allows us to uncover the root causes of our emotions, behaviors, and relationships, fostering a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Training and Credentials

Throughout my career, I have pursued various trainings and certifications, including Integrative Sex and Couples Certification Training, Mindful Communication/Nonviolent Communication, Treating Trauma Master Series, and Somatics of Common Complex Emotions. I am proud to hold licenses in both Colorado and California, as well as being an Approved Supervisor, Certified Yoga Instructor, and Practitioner.

Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals and couples to unlock their inner potential, cultivate self-awareness, and foster a deeper connection with themselves and others.
