Nicolette Re, LCSW, CBT, SEP

Somatic Therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona
A Body-Centered Approach to Healing

If you’ve struggled to find lasting relief from past trauma, calm your anxiety, or heal your depression with traditional talk therapy, you’re in the right place.

Emotional pain, psychological turmoil, and chronic stress is stored in the body. Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection to heal. Unprocessed emotions can manifest as physical symptoms like fatigue, muscle tension, headaches, or chronic pain. Somatic techniques help release this stored trauma to promote healing.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which focuses on cognitive processing, somatic therapy goes straight to the source of stored pain – the body.

Somatic Healing Can Be Effective For…

Somatic healing is beneficial for anyone experiencing the effects of trauma, chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, or physical pain.

Its ability to address both the emotional and physical aspects of well-being makes it a powerful tool for holistic healing and personal transformation.

Types of Therapy Offered

Somatic Therapy

Whether you’re dealing with the emotional aftermath of trauma, struggling with anxiety, or looking to reconnect with your body, somatic therapy may help. It uses techniques like bioenergetics, touchwork, trauma and tension releasing exercises (TRE), the safe and sound protocol (SSP), and somatic experiencing (SE) to help you release stored emotions and gain greater balance in your life.

EMDR

If you’re struggling to open up or tell your story, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) may be able to help. Unlike talk therapy, where you discuss your struggles, EMDR can help you “look under the lid” to see what’s there without consciously thinking about it or even speaking it out loud.

Bioenergetics

Many people turn to bioenergetic therapy after experiencing the limitations of traditional talk therapy. Bioenergetics combine verbal and physical techniques to address chronic tension and release repressed emotions. If you feel like there’s something deeper within yourself that needs attention, bioenergetics can help uncover inner wisdom and emotional depth that words alone cannot reach, allowing for profound healing.

Nicolette has been instrumental to my recovery from Complex PTSD. Her approach with me has integrated somatic touch, bioenergetics, and other modalities that directly target the root of trauma in the body, instead of overthinking things. I am very grateful to have met her and be working with her!

I work as a psychiatrist in the Phoenix area, and am happy to leave my recommendation for Nicolette's practice. Nicolette is a highly skilled professional whom I frequently both refer clients to, and see myself for ongoing stress management. She brings a warm, friendly and safe atmosphere to her practice and has a high degree of skill and training in working with issues such a trauma, anxiety, anger and grief. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking improvement in their quality of life.
