Present-moment experience is used, with special attention on body sensations. This modality can be especially powerful when there is trauma. Bringing mindful attention to body sensations allows trauma activation to processed in a manageable way.

I completed Level I Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which is at the leading edge of somatic psychotherapies for treating trauma. This approach deeply informs everything else I do and more than anything else is what my clients tell me makes the decisive, sometimes seemingly magic, difference in their treatment. It's a beautiful, elegant, flexible approach that truly helps the client develop their inner resources and capacity to live fully. Also a powerful tool for treating persistent pain.

Sensorimotor Therapy is body-based talk therapy, integrating current findings from neuroscience and attachment theory to transform traumatic memories into strengths and resources for you. It works with developmental trauma, such as overly critical parents, as well as acute trauma like abuse, violence, or serious physical injury. With a big focus on mindfulness, appropriate pacing, and trusting the wisdom of your body, Sensorimotor Therapy can help re-negotiate your relationship with your body.

My work does not look like regular talk therapy - I invite a lot of somatic exercises, movement, and play to shake up those patterned responses that have been holding you back. Working somatically allows us to reach below the surface and identify the roots of our struggles Sensorimotor Psychotherapy - Level 1: Affect Dysregulation, Survival Responses, and Trauma Memory Sensorimotor Psychotherapy - Level 2: Developmental Injury & Attachment.

You will cultivate the practice of slowing down to explore and witness with mindful awareness your embodied experience. Through embodied awareness, in connection with another, you will begin to be aware of the unconscious and unresolved patterns living in the body-mind that impact healthy relationships and being fully aligned with the open heart. With compassionate awareness you can begin to heal, resolve and feel more empowered in how you choose to relate to yourself, others and the earth.

Sensorimotor says that your body's sensations, your emotions, and your thoughts all hold value and important information necessary for your recovery and wellbeing. Getting out of your head, out of your thoughts and into your body may allow you to access new routes to healing.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, an outgrowth of Hakomi method, dives deeper into the neurological and physical effects of trauma. Sensorimotor psychotherapy (SP) is a holistic approach to healing trauma or unhealthy attachment patterns formed in early childhood. It integrates the body and movement into traditional talk therapy to address and heal ongoing psychological and physical difficulties, and is considered a “body-centered talking therapy."

Kelly Murray (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy draws from somatic therapies, neuroscience, attachment theory, and cognitive approaches, as well as from the Hakomi Method. It is successful in treating trauma, attachment issues, limiting beliefs/cognitions, patterned intense emotion and in developing/restoring parts of the personality.
