Hakomi Therapy

Hakomi Therapy is a mindfulness and body-centered psychotherapy.

Our core beliefs, often formed in childhood, govern our thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviors, and interactions with others. In a Hakomi Therapy session we slow down, notice what is in the here and now — being present with your body and your breath, as well as any emotions, impulses, and images. As with all therapy methods I offer, Hakomi Therapy is client-centered, and the session unfolds according to the needs of the person I am working with.

In Hakomi Therapy, it may be helpful at times to attend the session with a trusted person to offer support during the session. Support may include physical support through touch or holding, or it may include a verbal or other offering.

The form of Hakomi Therapy I am trained in also combines Internal Family Systems Therapy in sessions, helping you to understand parts of yourself more deeply from a parts’ perspective. This form of therapy often also involves memory work, where healing experiences can be offered to younger parts of yourself, allowing parts that carry pain and burdens to release them, heal, and integrate.
