Restore the Full Spectrum
with Premium Somatic Therapy
Trusted by Clients at:
Somatic therapy is an evidence-based alternative to talk therapy that shifts how your nervous system operates.
Our somatic tools teach your body how to shift from states reflecting survival (fight, flight, freeze and fawn) to states reflecting safety (rest and flow). This metabolizes any residue of trauma and restores your nervous system to its full robust capacity.
Once you feel good in your body, your natural intelligence comes online and good things start to happen in all areas of life.
The Beyond Approach
Talk therapies often describe an issue like anxiety or depression without actually shifting it.
We treat your symptom at the body level using somatic modalities that are direct and evidence-based. Working in this way can produce powerful transformations over a short span of time.
Together, we will:
Build the relationship
We offer a corrective experience where you are deeply understood, accepted and supported. We work at your pace without rushing or pushing.
Map the pattern
We build a shared understanding of how your symptoms operate. We’ll map the parts of you that may be blocking your healing and figure out your personal roadmap to health.
Heal at the body level
Inside each session, we use somatic techniques to get to the root of symptoms. We’ll reprocess your trauma and strengthen your positive connection to the body.
Our somatic therapy approach blends Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and IFS. All of our therapists are trained in this core approach and each has their own additional trainings that they bring into the work.
We also offer bodywork, and breathwork classes to support nervous system regulation.
You’ll learn to integrate our tools into work, relationships, exercise and sleep to create a positive upward spiral that supports long-term resilience.
You may not realize your pain, stress, anxiety & burnout can be shifted in a repeatable & reliable way.
How our approach compares
Unlike most out-of-network providers, we submit claims directly to your insurance, saving time and increasing likelihood of payment.

A new story of hope solidifies
Story follows state
The story that appears true depends on the state of your nervous system.
When you are dysregulated, hopelessness & despair prevail. When you are well-regulated, hope & optimism appear naturally.
By helping your body find safety and connection, your perspective on life shifts and your whole identity updates. You’ll start getting reflections that “something has changed” and that you are “lighter” or “easier” to be around. This energetic shift is magnetic and attracts good people to your cause.
We make out-of-network insurance easy.
When you schedule a consultation, we check your eligibility and provide an estimate of out-of-network (PPO) benefits.
After you pay for each session, we handle the claim and, if eligible, your insurance company reimburses you directly.
Applies to most PPO plans, including Anthem, Blue Shield of California, HealthNet, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Optum. Does not include HMO plans, Medicare, Medicaid or Medi-Cal.
-
We work out-of-network (OON) with most PPO plans including Anthem, Blue Shield of California, HealthNet, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Optum. OON means you pay for sessions upfront and can seek reimbursement from your insurance provider.
As a complimentary service, we check your eligibility and obtain an estimate of your coverage. After each session, we submit the claim to insurance on your behalf. Any reimbursement is sent directly to you by your insurance provider.
Note that your annual deductible needs to be met before any reimbursement is made and coverage is often partial depending on your particular plan and the allowed amount applied.
-
Out-of-network means that we are not contracted in-network with your insurance company, so you cannot use your insurance directly as payment.
Thankfully, most PPO plans include separate out-of-network benefits that allow you to see providers outside their network and reimburse a portion of the cost.
-
Correct, we are out-of-network, not in-network. That means that you CANNOT use insurance for upfront payment and in-network benefits do NOT apply.
We also do not participate with Medicare, Medi-Cal, Medicaid, or HMO plans.
-
Your deductible is the amount you first need to reach in out-of-pocket costs before your insurance will begin to cover services.
Some plans have separate in-network and out-of-network deductibles, so make sure to check carefully.
-
Most insurance companies cap the rate on which coverage is based for each particular service in each particular zip code. This is called the allowed amount.
The allowed amount is not public and can typically only be confirmed once your first claim has been processed. After processing, your insurance company will send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) showing how the claim was calculated, including the allowed amount and any reimbursement. This usually arrives within approximately 4–6 weeks after the claim is submitted.
Depending on your insurance company, we may be able to estimate the allowed amount upfront.
-
Coinsurance is the percentage of the allowed amount that you are responsible for paying after your deductible has been met.
The coverage percentage is the percentage of the allowed amount that the insurance provider will reimburse after your deductible has been met.
Your copay is a fixed dollar amount that reduces what your insurance will reimburse. Typically plans either have a copay or coinsurance, not both.
-
Assuming a session rate of $200 and that your plan has a 50% coinsurance and an allowed amount of $150 and you have already met your deductible. Then, you will pay $200 upfront and be reimbursed $75 (50% of $150). Therefore, the out-of-pocket cost to you will be $125.
If you had not met your deductible, you would be responsible for the full $200.
