EMDR Therapy in Alpharetta & Throughout Georgia
Somatic therapy
You’re doing all the “right” things, but your body still feels on edge.
You’ve read the books, journaled, analyzed, and tried to stay positive.
You know what you’re feeling—but that knowing hasn’t been enough to bring relief.
Your mind understands, but your body still feels tight, reactive, or numb.
This is where somatic therapy can help.
At Origins Holistic Psychotherapy, we help you tune in to the signals your body is sending, so you can finally move through stuck emotions, regulate your nervous system, and feel grounded in your life again.
We offer in-person sessions in Alpharetta, GA, and virtual somatic therapy across Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina.
Somatic Therapy in Alpharetta, Georgia helps you access the wisdom of your body.
what is Somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to emotional healing. It recognizes that your experiences, especially trauma, anxiety, grief, or chronic stress, don’t just live in your thoughts. They live in your muscles, your breath, your posture, and your nervous system.
Instead of focusing only on insight or coping strategies, somatic therapy supports healing through:
✔ Noticing physical sensations and patterns
✔ Understanding your body’s stress responses
✔ Learning to regulate your system in real time
✔ Creating new, embodied experiences of safety and connection
This work is gentle, intuitive, and deeply validating. It allows you to explore what’s happening in the moment, without needing to explain or relive everything.
Because when you’ve spent years in survival mode, your body forgets how to feel safe.
You may look like you have it together, but inside, you’re always bracing.
You may be able to talk about your pain, but you haven’t felt the shift.
You may have healed parts of your story, but you still carry it in your body.
At Origins Holistic Psychotherapy in Alpharetta, Georgia, our therapists are trained in somatic psychology, nervous system regulation, mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed care. We work collaboratively with you to gently explore what your body is holding—and how to create more freedom, safety, and vitality in your experience.
Somatic therapy helps you come home to yourself—at a pace that feels safe.
