Somatic and body awareness therapy recognizes that our bodies hold important information about our experiences, emotions, and patterns. This approach helps you tune into physical sensations, release stored tension, and develop a healthier relationship with your body. By integrating body and mind, somatic work can support healing in ways that talk therapy alone sometimes cannot.

On First Session, you can browse therapists who offer somatic approaches and watch their intro videos to get a sense of their style. All therapists have their credentials verified during onboarding. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, you can book directly or request a free consultation to find the right match.

About First Session
What is somatic therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach that addresses the connection between mind and body. It helps you become aware of bodily sensations, recognize how emotions manifest physically, and release tension or trauma stored in the body. Somatic approaches may include breathwork, movement, touch, or simply guided attention to physical experience.

How can somatic therapy help?

Many people find somatic therapy helpful for trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and physical tension that doesn't respond to other treatments. It can support you in feeling more grounded, regulating your nervous system, and processing experiences that are difficult to put into words. Somatic work is particularly useful when you feel disconnected from your body or stuck in patterns of tension.

What happens in a somatic session?

In somatic sessions, your therapist may guide you in noticing physical sensations, tracking how emotions show up in your body, and exploring gentle movements or breathwork. You might work on releasing tension, developing body awareness, or processing difficult experiences through physical sensation. Sessions are typically gentle and move at your pace.

How do I find a somatic therapist?

On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who offer somatic and body awareness approaches. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their style. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.

Is somatic therapy right for me?

Somatic therapy may be a good fit if you're interested in body-based approaches, feel disconnected from physical sensations, or carry tension or stress in your body. It's helpful if talk therapy alone hasn't fully addressed your concerns. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to discuss whether somatic work might suit your needs.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Browse somatic therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose approach resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
