Center for Somatic Psychotherapy

Yesterday I said my goodbye to my beloved colleagues at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy, where I worked with clients as a therapist in training for just over a year.  And today, I am embarking on the journey of building this website and this blog.  It is a strange thing to be moving from the concrete realm of a community of people who are invested in the body and sensory awareness - and into the ether realm of the world wide web.  It's strange to be typing away into the unknown, not even knowing if anyone will actually read this. 
But for me it is an experience that is physical.  And it is meaningful in my body.  It's a time of transition for me between communities, between clients, between colleagues, and even between different articulations of my own body.  And so, using the virtual world of the internet may be fitting in a way.  Perhaps in this virtual realm, I can allow myself to disintegrate, let go, and transform - and also to reform, reintegrate and reinvent myself.  This etheral place offers me a platform from which to jump back into the embodied experience of sitting with friends and clients through the journey of being in body. 
The Center for Somatic Psychotherapy is currently located at 1119 Market St.  It is a sliding scale clinic which is the training site for the Somatic Psychology students of the California Institute of Integral Studies.  The therapists are supervised by licensed MFTs and form a supportive network of budding professionals who offer affordable body-centered counseling to the Bay Area public.
