“I work with adults across Los Angeles and California who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, and emotional burnout. Many of my clients grew up in strict or harmful religious environments and now carry religious trauma, spiritual abuse wounds, or shame tied to identity, sexuality, or worth. Others live with complex PTSD, childhood trauma, or attachment wounds that show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional numbness, or feeling unsafe in relationships. You may feel stuck in survival mode, disconnected from your body, or exhausted from holding it all together. If your past still feels present in your nervous system, relationships, or sense of self, you do not have to heal alone. Together we create space for safety, clarity, and lasting change.”

“Many times people come to me with some area they are feeling stuck or are struggling with strong feelings that are hard to understand or control. I specialize in trauma and use somatic based practices to help people move from stress reactions to regulated responses. I've been in private practice over 12 years and provide supervision and support for clinicians navigating life/work balance. I also facilitate peer supervision with two groups of clinicians. Symptoms and Diagnoses help guide our treatment, but are not the whole picture. I believe in listening to our bodies natural intelligence, to understand the reason you are experiencing symptoms and identify how to get to the root of the issue.”

I'm a burnout and trauma therapist in Brooklyn, NYC, working online with first-generation adults, children of immigrants, and BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent professionals who are burned out from over-functioning.

“I work with individual adults and teens (ages 15+) who are looking for a soft, welcoming place to process and heal. Folx who choose me as a therapist are tired of feeling simultaneously “not enough” and “too much,” and want to start living a life that aligns with their values-- starting with a therapy space that honors them as they are. My therapy space is open to people of all marginalized identities, and is home especially for LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, Disabled, and racialized BBIA folx whose identities are most linked to systemic violence and neglect. Clients I work with typically experience complex and single-incident trauma, self-esteem, and big existential questions around identity and purpose. I largely serve folx whose trauma manifests other challenges, like depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, or substance use.”

“Do you feel like you're easily overwhelmed, not good enough, or feel like a burden on others? Perhaps you ruminate on fears of the future or dismiss your needs so that you don't lose relationships. I work with people who are struggling with anxious thoughts, chronic illness and/or pain, and symptoms related to previously traumatic events and experiences. These can show up as overwhelming emotions, fears of abandonment, or physical and emotional shut down. Many of my clients are living with a chronic illness and trying to navigate the loss of a pre-diagnosis life in the hopes of gaining a better understanding of a post-diagnosis identity.”

Jose J. Davila Healing Therapy

LCSW

Licensed In:
Florida
“I work primarily with men who have spent years striving, achieving, or taking care of everyone else while feeling increasingly disconnected from themselves. Many have tried traditional approaches to self-improvement but continue to feel stuck in old emotional patterns, anxiety, relationship struggles, or the effects of unresolved trauma. My work combines EMDR, somatic therapy, and mindfulness with the principles of Effortless Mindfulness and nondual awareness. Rather than teaching you to become someone new, therapy helps you release what has been keeping you from the ease, clarity, and wholeness that are already present. I also work with meditators, spiritually curious individuals, and fellow therapists who want to integrate deep psychological healing with contemplative practice. Couples seeking a more honest, connected relationship are welcome. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a major life transition, or longing to feel more at home in yourself, therapy offers a space where both psychological healing and inner awakening.”

About Somatic Therapy

Use the directory above to find a therapist who offers this approach. Compare profiles for their approach, availability, fees, and insurance.

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.

What to expect

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach for addressing a range of mental health issues. Rather than focusing only on thoughts and emotions, somatic therapists also pay attention to physical sensations, breathing, posture, movement, and how stress or trauma may show up in the body. Online somatic therapy sessions may include grounding exercises, body awareness practices, gentle movement, breathwork, and noticing sensations at a pace that feels manageable.

People often explore somatic therapy for stress, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, chronic tension, burnout, relationship patterns, or feeling disconnected from their body. It may be a useful approach if you want therapy that includes both emotional reflection and practical ways to feel more present, regulated, and grounded.

How to choose a therapist

When comparing online somatic therapy therapists, look for someone whose pacing, communication style, and approach feel safe and collaborative. Because somatic work is body-focused, it is important to choose a therapist who you feel comfortable with.

Review profiles for experience with concerns like trauma, anxiety, stress, nervous system regulation, or mind-body approaches. Before booking, ask how they use somatic therapy in telehealth, what a typical session looks like, and how they handle grounding if emotions become intense. A good fit should feel clear, respectful, and responsive to your needs.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Questions about this approach

How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers somatic therapy?

Start by choosing the state where you will be located during online sessions. Then use filters to narrow your search by insurance, service type, age group, language, and therapy type. As you compare profiles, look for therapists who mention somatic therapy, body-centered therapy, nervous system regulation, or training in modalities such as Somatic Experiencing or Sensorimotor Therapy. You can then contact a provider or schedule a consultation to ask how they use somatic work in online care.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask how the therapist uses somatic therapy in telehealth sessions, what a typical session may look like, and whether their approach includes movement, breathwork, grounding, body awareness, or other techniques. You may also want to ask about their experience with your concerns, how they pace body-based work, and how they support clients who feel overwhelmed.

Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed in the state where you are physically located during the session. If you travel, move, attend school elsewhere, or split time between states, tell the therapist before booking so they can confirm whether they can continue care. You can also learn more about working with therapists licensed in multiple states.

Can somatic therapy be done virtually through telehealth therapy?

Yes, many therapists offer somatic therapy through telehealth. Online sessions may include body awareness, grounding skills, breath practices, gentle movement, tracking sensations, and talking through what you notice. Your therapist may adapt exercises so they feel safe and realistic in your space. Telehealth somatic therapy works best when you have privacy, a stable internet connection, and enough room to sit or move comfortably if movement is part of the session.

Who is somatic therapy best for?

Somatic therapy may be a good fit if you notice stress, anxiety, trauma responses, shutdown, tension, restlessness, or emotional overwhelm showing up in your body. It may also help if you have tried talk therapy before and want an approach that incorporates physical awareness. It is not only for trauma; many people use somatic therapy to build regulation skills, reconnect with their body, and feel more present in daily life.

Do somatic therapists need special certification or training?

Somatic therapy is a broad term, and different therapists may use different body-centered approaches. Some may have advanced training in specific somatic methods, while others may integrate somatic tools into general therapy. A therapist does not have to use one exact credential to offer somatic therapy, but it is reasonable to ask about their training, experience, and how they incorporate somatic techniques into therapy.

Does insurance cover online somatic therapy, and how does payment usually work?

Insurance coverage usually depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and the type of service being provided.  Some providers may accept in network insurance, and others may be private pay or offer superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Check each profile for insurance details, then confirm cost, payment method, cancellation policy, and any out-of-pocket fees before starting.

When is online somatic therapy not the right choice?

Online somatic therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be difficult if body-based exercises feel unsafe without in-person support. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
