Somatic Therapy

You start to feel emotions in your body instead of being ruled by them. You process what comes up instead of suppressing it.

You feel more present, more aware of your needs, and more able to respond to life instead of reacting automatically.

You stop just surviving or managing. You start feeling alive, grounded, and in your own skin. Small moments begin to feel like they belong to you again.

Yes—many people find somatic therapy highly effective, especially for stress, anxiety, and trauma.

Research and clinical experience show that working with the nervous system can lead to lasting changes, particularly when traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully addressed the physical impact of stress or trauma.

A somatic therapy session is typically slower and more guided than traditional talk therapy.

Along with conversation, you may be invited to notice body sensations, breathing, or subtle physical responses. The therapist helps you stay within a comfortable range while gently exploring these experiences, so your system can process and release tension safely.

Our registered counsellors are covered by a variety of extended health insurance plans. This means that, depending on your provider, you may be able to get full or partial reimbursement for your sessions.

It’s helpful to know that each counselling registration body is different, and insurance coverage can depend on which professional designation your counsellor holds (such as RCC, CCC, or RSW). Because every plan is unique, we recommend checking directly with your provider to confirm what’s included in your coverage.

Our intern counsellors, while highly skilled and closely supervised, are not yet covered by insurance — which is why they offer reduced-rate sessions to help keep support accessible.

For the most part, we do not offer direct billing. After your session, we’ll provide you with a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

If you have any questions, we’re happy to walk you through it during your free 15-minute consultation, so you can feel confident and informed before booking.
