Services
Integrative Psychotherapy
Combines talk therapy, bodywork, and guided meditation to address emotional and physical dis-ease. This approach helps clients release stored trauma, reduce chronic pain, and enhance self-awareness through personalized sessions. Clients gain tools to navigate stress and foster lasting mind-body balance.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle touch techniques targeting the central nervous system to relieve tension and support the body's innate healing capacity. This therapy addresses chronic pain, stress-related conditions, and emotional trauma by restoring fluid flow around the brain and spinal cord.
Somatic Experiencing
Evidence-based method for resolving trauma symptoms by regulating the nervous system. Clients process stored stress through guided awareness of bodily sensations, reducing PTSD symptoms and improving emotional resilience through gradual, safe release of traumatic shock.
Polarity Therapy
Holistic bodywork aligning energy fields through touch and dialogue to harmonize physical, mental, and emotional states. This therapy addresses chronic tension, emotional blockages, and energy imbalances using techniques like rocking and deep pressure to restore vitality.
Realization Process
Guided awareness practices deepening self-connection and interpersonal clarity. Clients learn to identify and release physical-emotional patterns through meditative exercises, enhancing presence and reducing stress while integrating spiritual insights into daily life.

Questions
What happens during an integrative therapy session?
Sessions combine talk therapy, bodywork, and guided meditation tailored to your needs. We address emotional and physical concerns through experiential techniques, fostering self-awareness and stress relief in a 1-2 hour session.
How does this differ from traditional massage?
Our work addresses physical pain as communication from the body, using slower, mindful touch to process emotions and tension. Sessions prioritize emotional integration alongside physical relaxation, with clients fully clothed.
Can I use these techniques at home?
Yes. You'll receive personalized exercises like Polarity yoga and guided meditations to manage stress and maintain wellness between sessions, enhancing the benefits of in-person work.
Is therapy confidential?
Sessions are confidential except in cases of harm risk to self/others or mandated reporting. Your privacy is protected under New York State guidelines, ensuring a safe space for exploration.
What should I wear to a session?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow movement and ease during bodywork. Private changing space is available at the Brooklyn office to ensure comfort during your session.
