Does SPA endorse or periodically
review the practitioners on this list?

No, a listing is not an endorsement of a practitioner’s quality in any way or a confirmation of any practitioner’s legal authorization to practice as a mental health professional. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute does not review this list for accuracy or to confirm current licensing or registration status. When using this list to choose a practitioner, you must do your own due diligence to determine a practitioner’s licensing or registration status and disciplinary history.

The choice of a practitioner from the listing is entirely up to you and other practitioners exist beyond SPA’s directory which may provide adequate therapeutic services for your specific needs. This listing does not include all practitioners available for your specific needs, nor does SPI intend for this listing to be inclusive. You alone are responsible for researching, interviewing, and selecting a suitable practitioner to meet your specific needs.

How can I evaluate a practitioner for myself?

Here are two helpful resources for choosing a therapist:

    I am a somatic-trauma informed psychotherapist with a background in clinical psychology and wave approaches such as Gestalt and Compassionate Inquiry, among other modalities. Using a Somatic Therapy trauma-informed and attachment-focused modality, I integrate the body’s wisdom as a crucial guide for resourcing and processing traumatic and developmental experiences. My approach is grounded in the understanding that disconnection from our bodies and our true selves, often due to childhood or intergenerational trauma, is a primary source of suffering. This unresolved pain quietly influences every aspect of life, from relationships to mental health and even physical health. This connection can be gently and effectively restored with focused attention and support. I help people heal from the scars of narcissist abuse, child abuse, sexual trauma, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, accidents and many other wounds, big and small. During therapy, you can recover from trauma that transforms suffering into resilience and strength, helping you become your Authentic Self.
