Somatically informed therapy for cultivating Resilience

welcome.

I’m glad you’ve landed here.

My name is Susannah Brister (she/her), MACP, LMHCA.

I offer somatically informed therapy to individual adults seeking to find their way home to themselves and to a life that feels meaningful and connected.

Whether you are managing anxiety or depression, dealing with the fallout of trauma, or simply seeking more connection to yourself and your body, I believe somatically informed therapy can help.

It’s my goal to support you in facing the challenges of living with as much agency and dignity as possible. Book a call with me to see if we might be a good fit for this work.

Root into resource

Mycelia are the root-like structures that connect fungi to each other and to other plants. Even though mushrooms look like individuals, beneath the soil they share nutrients and information through mycelial networks that can stretch for miles.

 We humans are a lot like fungi. We are deeply interconnected with each other and the world around us. The cultures, systems, and landscapes we live in affect us - in ways that harm and ways that heal.

In therapy, we look belowground in your life. We get compassionately curious about the web of threads that make up your lived reality: the sensations, images, feelings, values, behaviors, and desires that influence how you show up to day-to-day life.

“Be easy. take your time. you are coming home.

to yourself.”
