Somatic Therapist New York
Regulate Your Nervous System
You move at the speed of the city, but your body is keeping the score. The Consultation Room offers somatic therapy for high-achieving New Yorkers ready to heal anxiety, trauma, and burnout.
Living in New York City requires a certain level of armor. To succeed here—whether you are in finance, tech, the arts, or media—you have to be on. You navigate crowded subways, high-stakes meetings, and a culture that glorifies the hustle.
You are good at it. You are resilient. You get things done.
But lately, that resilience feels less like strength and more like a survival response. You might benefit from counseling nyc if you notice:
A “buzzing” anxiety that sits in your chest or stomach, even when you're relaxing.
Chronic exhaustion that no amount of sleep (or espresso) seems to fix.
Emotional numbness—like you are watching your life happen rather than feeling it.
Physical symptoms without a medical cause, like tension headaches, jaw clenching, or digestive issues.
This isn’t just “stress.” This is your nervous system stuck in overdrive. The Consultation Room is a place for you to slow down and find balance, so you can return home to your body.
What is Somatic Therapy?
We cannot think our way out of something we felt our way into.
Traditional talk therapy is powerful, but it often stops at the neck. You might intellectually understand why you are anxious or perfectionistic, but your body still reacts as if there is a threat.
Somatic Therapy, a body-centered psychotherapy, works from the bottom up, releasing trauma and stress stored in the body. Instead of just analyzing your thoughts, we work directly with your nervous system helping you to:
Notice where tension and trauma are stored in your body.
Release the survival energy (fight/flight/freeze) that has been trapped by years of high-pressure living.
Regulate your system so you can respond to stress with clarity rather than reactivity.
An approach to therapy for New York that facilitates tangible shifts in how you feel, function, think, relate and create.
Heal the "Hustle” Trauma
In NYC, productivity is often a trauma response. We’ll decouple your self-worth from your output, allowing you to rest without the crushing guilt that you "should be doing more."
Deepen Your Relationships
When you’re constantly in survival mode, it’s hard to be truly present with others. When you regulate your nervous system, you create the internal safety needed for intimacy and connection.
Unearth Creative Flow
Anxiety stunts and contracts, while safety allows for expansion. When your body isn't fighting invisible fires, you regain access to your intuition, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.

The two year rule in therapy pertains to a professional ethical guideline that prohibits therapists from entering into sexual or romantic relationships with former clients for at least two years after therapy ends. Even after the two-year period, a sexual relationship is not automatically ethical. The therapist has the burden of demonstrating that there has been no exploitation.
