Therapy that goes beyond talking about the problem

We do therapy differently here…

We Are PsychSomatica — A Boutique Therapy Practice in Chicago

Our work is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience. We integrate body-based and evidence-informed approaches to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—not just manage symptoms, but heal patterns at the root.

Our therapists draw from approaches such as:

  • Somatic Experiencing

  • Somatic EMDR

  • DBT

  • Nervous system alchemy

  • Mindfulness-based practices

  • IFS + Parts work

  • Relational and creative approaches

We also understand that pain does not happen in a vacuum. Burnout, trauma, oppression, grief, and disconnection are not only personal issues, they are shaped by the systems and relationships we live inside of. Your healing deserves care that honors the full picture.

We're a team of Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (LCPCs) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) based in Chicago, Illinois and Colorado and we do therapy differently. We don't just help you talk about the problem. We help you heal it at the root using body-based, evidence-informed approaches, including Somatic EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, DBT, Mindfulness, and Polyvagal Nervous System work. Whether you're navigating ADHD and neurodivergence, complex PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout, eating disorders, women’s health issues, or major life transitions, we meet you where you are and build a treatment plan as unique as you are.

We are in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, and United Healthcare, and offer telehealth sessions across Illinois.
