Our founder, Daphne Georghiou, brings a lifetime of personal and professional dedication to trauma recovery, having trained extensively in somatic movement therapy, Jungian psychology, and evidence-based modalities like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems. We prioritize multicultural sensitivity, informed by Daphne's upbringing across diverse global contexts, to create a safe space for clients navigating cross-cultural challenges.Our approach combines advanced clinical expertise with creative, body-based techniques to resolve complex issues such as PTSD, anxiety, and relationship conflicts. We are committed to empowering clients to reclaim their authentic selves through personalized therapy that bridges traditional counseling with somatic wisdom. Our practice emphasizes accessibility through online video sessions while maintaining deep therapeutic engagement. By focusing on the root causes of suffering rather than surface symptoms, we help clients achieve sustainable transformation and emotional resilience.

Somatic Psychotherapy
This integrative approach combines somatic awareness with traditional counseling to address trauma stored in the body. By working with physical sensations and emotional patterns, clients achieve deeper healing of chronic stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. Our practice uniquely incorporates expressive arts and movement therapy to enhance self-discovery and emotional regulation.
Trauma Recovery
Specialized care for complex trauma using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Polyvagal Theory principles. We help clients reprocess traumatic memories while developing grounding techniques to manage flashbacks and emotional overwhelm. Our approach emphasizes rebuilding trust and safety through both individual sessions and somatic resourcing.
Couples Counseling
Evidence-based interventions for improving communication and resolving relationship conflicts. We address intimacy issues, infidelity, and attachment wounds using Gottman methods and somatic attunement exercises. Our goal is to help partners develop deeper emotional connection and healthier interaction patterns.
Depression Treatment
Holistic approach combining cognitive-behavioral techniques with body-based therapies to address persistent sadness and low motivation. We focus on identifying underlying causes while developing practical tools for emotional regulation and self-compassion to break cycles of negative thinking.
Anxiety Management
Comprehensive treatment for chronic anxiety using mindfulness, breathwork, and nervous system regulation. Our methods help clients reduce panic attacks, manage obsessive thoughts, and develop coping strategies for daily stressors while addressing root causes through somatic awareness.
