In her work, Katya weaves together methodologies of self-compassion and embodied self-awareness with somatic psychotherapy. Based on individual interest, clients may explore modalities including meditation, movement, and even the wisdom of Tarot and metaphoric cards in their personal therapy sessions.
Benefits of this holistic approach support clients throughout the therapeutic process and beyond. The overarching goal of this practice is cultivating a mind-body connection and learning to treat oneself with compassion, warmth and kindness. When partnering with Katya you will learn about meditation as a way to connect to self, and explore movement that recognizes the body as a source of wisdom and guidance. Your personal journey will weave together modalities of the practice that build a healthy, kind, and loving relationship with the self, and encourage you to thrive in all aspects of life.
With Katya’s guidance, you will overcome obstacles to re-inhabit the body by developing practices to make your body a peaceful place that becomes a resource in your everyday life. Together you will work on building skills for navigating anxiety or emotions from a grounded foundation of the body. You will also set up your own personal practice for using learned tools and techniques outside of therapy.
