Process trauma and emotional challenges through this body-centered therapy that uses physical experience as an entry point for healing and integration.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy at Alchemy Collective offers a specialized body-centered approach for addressing trauma, attachment issues, and emotional challenges. Developed by Dr. Pat Ogden, this therapeutic method recognizes that traumatic experiences and relational patterns are stored not just in our thoughts and emotions, but in our bodies—through posture, movement, tension patterns, and physiological responses. Unlike purely talk-based approaches, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy uses the body as an entry point for processing and integrating these experiences. Working with a trained therapist, you'll learn to track physical sensations, impulses, and movements, using this awareness to access and transform patterns held in the body. The approach incorporates mindfulness, somatic interventions, and attachment theory to help regulate the nervous system, process traumatic material, and develop new resources and capacities. Many clients find this bottom-up approach particularly effective for healing experiences that have remained unresolved through more traditional therapy methods.
