New Group Offerings 〰️
We are now recruiting for two somatic therapy groups. Please submit a contact form to schedule a consult if you are interested.
Somatic Processing for Remembrance and Mourning is a six week group for those who have established a foundation of safety and stability and are ready to gently explore and process grief using somatic skills. Virtual on Mondays, starting June 15.
A Safe Container is a somatic and yoga-based group offering a grounded space to explore, process, and move through emotions with a different theme each week. In person on Tuesdays, starting late summer.
Somatic Therapy
At Boston Somatic Collective, we support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and embodied connection through integrative psychotherapy and somatic practices.
You may be a good fit if you are experiencing:
Chronic stress, overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, and nervous system dysregulation
Life transitions, including perinatal experiences, identity shifts, and career or academic changes
Feeling disconnected, numb, or out of touch with your body or emotions
Trauma, chronic adaptation, and survival-based patterns
Burnout from caregiving and other helping professions
Immigration, cultural displacement, and marginalization-related stress
Therapy that works with the body, not just the mind.
Our approach integrates psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, yoga, and nervous system regulation to support meaningful and sustainable change.
Rather than focusing only on insight or symptom management, we explore how stress, emotion, and protective patterns live in the body and how greater awareness and regulation can create lasting shifts in how you feel and function.
Sessions are collaborative, paced with care, and tailored to your needs. The goal is not to “fix” you, but to expand your capacity for grounding, resilience, and connection.
Yoga & Embodiment Sessions
These integrative sessions combine restorative yoga, Somatic Experiencing® principles, breathwork, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation to support stress recovery, resilience, and reconnection to the body.
Designed for individuals navigating chronic stress, burnout, emotional exhaustion, or nervous system overwhelm, this work offers a slower, more embodied approach to healing that goes beyond traditional talk therapy or performance-based movement.
Rather than focusing on productivity or pushing through, sessions emphasize restoration, regulation, body awareness, and creating greater capacity for ease and connection in daily life.
Sessions may include:
Restorative movement and yoga-based practices
Nervous system regulation support
Somatic Experiencing® techniques
Breath and mobility practices
Grounding and embodiment exercises
Music and dance

Relational Talk Therapy
Relational talk therapy focuses on the role of healthy, supportive relationships in your overall well-being. It explores how past experiences, along with social and cultural influences, shape how you connect with others today. Sessions blend traditional talk therapy with skill-building, psychoeducation, and somatic practices.

Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is a holistic approach that uses movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Traditional yoga techniques are thoughtfully adapted to meet each person’s needs, helping cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and a more connected relationship with the body.

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that helps reduce the emotional distress connected to traumatic memories. EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing difficult experiences through guided eye movements and other forms of bilateral sensory stimulation.
