Ruben, Amy

At My Approach Somatic Psychotherapy, we believe that the body holds the key to unlocking our deepest wounds and promoting healing. As a Somatic Psychotherapist, I, Amy Ruben, LMFT, have dedicated my career to helping individuals develop a deeper connection with their bodies and emotions. Through a unique blend of somatic and experiential methods, I work with clients to restore balance between their mind, body, and spirit.

About Me

As a therapist, I have always been passionate about helping others discover their own innate wisdom and resilience. My own journey with chronic pain led me to explore various somatic and spiritual practices, which I now incorporate into my therapeutic approach. Through my clinical training at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), I have had the privilege of working with diverse communities, including those affected by trauma and systems of oppression.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is deeply relational and combines traditional talk therapy with somatic and experiential methods. I believe that the body holds a profound wisdom that can guide us towards healing and transformation. Through mindful and compassionate exploration, I help clients cultivate awareness of their bodily sensations, emotions, and thoughts, allowing them to release pent-up energies and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

What to Expect

When working with me, you can expect a safe, warm, and nurturing environment that fosters deep connection and trust. I am emotionally engaged and actively listen to your experiences, incorporating somatic and experiential methods to support your growth and healing.
