Somatic Therapy in Denver & Wheat Ridge

Mind-Body Healing for Lasting Mental Health

At Mind, Body, Soulmates PLLC, we offer specialized somatic therapy and somatic psychotherapy services that address both your emotional and physical well-being. Our experienced somatic therapists understand that traditional talk therapy, while valuable, sometimes misses the profound wisdom held in your body. Through evidence-based somatic therapy techniques and body psychotherapy approaches, we help you access deeper healing and create lasting change in your mental health journey.

Whether you're a high-functioning professional struggling with perfectionism and burnout, dealing with the effects of traumatic experiences, or seeking to break free from relationship patterns that no longer serve you, our collaborative team of somatic therapists provides personalized care that honors your unique path to wellness.

Somatic therapy is a body-centered therapeutic approach that recognizes the profound mind-body connection in healing trauma and improving mental health. Unlike traditional talk therapy that focuses primarily on thoughts and emotions, somatic psychotherapy integrates body awareness and bodily sensations as essential components of the therapeutic process.

Our somatic therapy techniques help you develop enhanced body awareness, allowing you to recognize how traumatic experiences and stress are stored in your nervous system. Through this holistic approach, you can process trauma, regulate your autonomic nervous system, and build resilience for lasting mental health improvement.

Key benefits of our somatic therapy services include:

  • Enhanced emotional regulation through body awareness

  • Processing of traumatic experiences without requiring detailed verbal recounting

  • Improved nervous system regulation and stress management

  • Greater mind-body connection and self-awareness

  • Practical somatic practices for daily life

  • Integration with other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive care

What Is Somatic Therapy?

Our Somatic Therapy Techniques and Approaches

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic experiencing is a specialized form of somatic therapy that helps your nervous system complete interrupted responses to trauma. Our trained somatic therapists guide you through gentle techniques that allow your body to process and release stored traumatic stress without overwhelming your system.

Body Psychotherapy and Somatic Psychology

We integrate various body psychotherapy techniques that help you understand how emotions and traumatic experiences manifest physically. Through somatic psychology approaches, you'll learn to recognize patterns, develop greater body awareness, and create new neural pathways for healing.

Mindful Movement and Deep Breathing

Our somatic therapy techniques include mindful movement practices and deep breathing exercises that help regulate your autonomic nervous system. These somatic practices become valuable tools you can use outside of sessions to manage stress and maintain emotional balance.

Integration with Other Therapeutic Approaches

What sets our practice apart is our ability to seamlessly combine somatic therapy with other evidence-based modalities:

  • EMDR: Enhanced with somatic experiencing for comprehensive trauma processing

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Understanding how different parts show up in your body

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Practical skills that complement somatic practices

  • Art Therapy: Creative expression integrated with body awareness

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Present-moment awareness encompassing both thoughts and bodily sensations

This integrative therapeutic approach ensures that your treatment is tailored to your specific mental health needs and goals.

Who Benefits from Our Somatic Therapy Services?

High-Functioning Professionals

Many of our clients are successful individuals who appear to have it all together but struggle internally with:

  • Perfectionism and chronic stress affecting mental health

  • Difficulty relaxing or "turning off" due to nervous system activation

  • Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, or digestive issues

  • Feeling disconnected from emotions despite success in other areas

  • Burnout patterns that traditional talk therapy hasn't fully addressed

Our somatic therapists help you reconnect with your body's signals before they become overwhelming, developing sustainable approaches to stress management and mental health.

Individuals Processing Trauma

If you've experienced trauma—whether obvious or subtle—somatic therapy offers a gentle yet effective path to healing. Our somatic experiencing and body psychotherapy approaches are particularly helpful for:

  • Women with attachment issues stemming from childhood experiences

  • Anyone dealing with the effects of traumatic experiences on relationships

  • Those who feel stuck despite previous therapy attempts

  • Individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or chronic stress related to trauma

Through somatic practices, you can process traumatic experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

Couples Seeking Deeper Connection

Our somatic therapy approaches for couples help partners understand how their individual nervous systems interact and affect their relationship dynamics. This is especially beneficial for:

  • Couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent

  • Partners struggling with communication patterns rooted in trauma

  • Those seeking to break cycles of conflict and disconnection

  • Couples wanting to enhance intimacy and emotional connection

Men in Life Transitions

Many men find somatic therapy more accessible than traditional talk therapy, particularly during major life changes such as:

  • Career transitions or professional challenges

  • Becoming a parent or caring for aging parents

  • Processing feelings of being lost or depressed

  • Managing anxiety or stress in a practical, action-oriented way

Our somatic therapists provide a body-based therapeutic approach that often resonates more naturally with men who are action-oriented or struggle to access emotions through conversation alone.
