Integrated Trauma Therapy: Healing Mind, Body, & Soul
Beyond Talk Therapy
Trauma isn't just a memory; it's an experience that echoes through your entire being, distorting your sense of self and disconnecting you from your power within. At Soulvee, we understand that healing goes beyond mere words. That's why we integrate somatic work into our therapeutic approach, empowering you to regulate your nervous system and release the stored trauma held within your body.
Imagine a life where you're not just surviving, but thriving. Where you feel truly at peace with who you are, liberated from the grip of past trauma. Trauma fractures our connection to ourselves, leaving us feeling like strangers in our own skin, no matter how much time has passed. Depression, anxiety, and a profound sense of disconnection become our unwelcome companions.
And it's not always about the events that occurred in our lives. Sometimes, it's about what didn't happen—the needs that went unmet in your life, the yearning for love, safety, and security. This fragmentation leaves you feeling incomplete, a mere shadow of your true self. You may find yourself presenting one face to the world, strong and confident, while another part of you is weighed down by deep hurt and pain.
But you don't have to remain in that disconnected, misaligned state. At Soulvee, we're here to walk with you through the profound journey of healing, helping you rediscover a sense of wholeness and vitality.
Our approach to psychotherapy is holistic, addressing every facet of your being—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Through our carefully structured phases, we provide practices that prepare your nervous system for the transformative journey ahead, paving the way for lasting change and profound healing.

FAQs
-
We honor your privacy and confidentiality and don’t believe that insurance companies need to be privy to the internal workings of your trauma history and any mental health diagnosis.
Our time is dedicated to you and providing exceptional care and service- not hours and hours meeting ever changing insurance requirements to later experience them clawing back or denying services.
Integrated practices that are vital to healing trauma are usually not covered by insurance. There is no billing code for breathwork or other wellness practices that we believe are incredibly beneficial to you. We just don’t want insurance companies dictating your journey.
-
EMDR therapy is like a reset button for your mind after tough experiences. With EMDR, we use a specialized protocol that includes dual attention stimuli to tap into your brain's natural healing power while you think about past stuff that's been bothering you. It's a bit like hitting refresh on your mental browser, helping you let go of things that have been weighing you down, like anxiety or bad memories. We’re here to help you navigate this journey toward feeling better and getting back to yourself.
