Online Relational Somatic Psychotherapy in Washington

Therapy that supports your whole self

Relational somatic psychotherapy begins with the understanding that your body is not separate from your story.

At Moon Somatics, online somatic psychotherapy is available for teens and adults located in Washington State. This work offers trauma-informed, body-centered therapy for anxiety, grief, relationship and attachment patterns, identity exploration, nervous system overwhelm, and life transitions.

Your sensations, emotions, memories, ways of relating, and protective patterns all carry meaning. Some parts of you may have learned ways of coping that helped you survive, adapt, or stay connected when other options were not available. Over time, those same strategies may become outdated, even as they continue trying to protect you.

Together, we slow down enough to listen for what has been held beneath the surface, support these protective patterns with care, and make room for new ways of moving forward with more choice, integration, and ease.

Begin with a free 15-minute consultation to see if online relational somatic psychotherapy feels like a good fit.

When insight alone isn’t enough

You may already understand some of your patterns. You may know why anxiety, shutdown, over-functioning, grief, or relationship pain show up in your life. You may have language for what happened, why it mattered, and how it shaped you.

And still, something may feel hard to shift.

Relational somatic psychotherapy supports change by bringing attention to the body, nervous system, emotions, and ways of relating as they arise in the present moment. Together, we explore how your experiences have shaped the ways you protect yourself, reach for connection, respond to stress, and make meaning from what you have lived.

Online somatic psychotherapy can support teens and adults in Washington with:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Trauma and nervous system overwhelm

  • Grief and life transitions

  • Relationship and attachment patterns

  • Identity, belonging, and self-trust

  • Emotional regulation and self-esteem

  • Family, cultural, and systemic stress

  • Substance use concerns and recovery support

  • Patterns of shutdown, disconnection, or over-functioning

Affirming psychotherapy for the fullness of who you are

Your life does not happen outside of context. Your body, emotions, relationships, and sense of self are shaped by family, culture, community, identity, belonging, loss, and the systems you live in and move through.

I offer affirming, trauma-informed online psychotherapy for teens and adults in Washington State, including LGBTQ+ clients, clients exploring racial and cultural identity, belonging, and disconnection, and clients impacted by family stress, trauma, grief, and oppressive systems.

In our work together, we can make space for both your inner experience and the larger world that has shaped it. Therapy can become a place to listen for what has been carried, what has been protected, and what may be ready for more support, choice, and connection.

Change does not have to be forced

Healing often begins in the places where something feels safe enough to be noticed in a new way.

In relational somatic psychotherapy, our relationship can become a place to listen for what is happening between protection and connection, effort and ease, what has been held and what may be ready to move. We may explore what your body knows before words arrive, what emotions are asking for care, what parts of you are working hard, and what becomes possible when your nervous system has more support.

My approach is first and foremost trauma-informed, and draws from somatic psychotherapy, relational therapy, attachment-based therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, parts work, psychodynamic therapy, and my training in Ortho-Bionomy®.

Rather than trying to correct, override, or push past what has protected you, we listen for the conditions that support change from within. Sometimes this happens through insight. Sometimes it happens through sensation, breath, emotion, relationship, or the quiet space between the notes.

Over time, online somatic therapy can help create more room for choice, integration, connection, and change that your body can actually recognize as possible.

About Roya

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, offering online relational somatic psychotherapy for clients located in Washington.

My work is shaped by the understanding that the body is not separate from our stories, relationships, cultures, or capacity for change. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a Somatic specialization from California Institute of Integral Studies, a program shaped by Don Hanlon Johnson’s work in somatics and embodied experience. I also bring over 20 years of study and practice in somatics, movement, embodiment, and body-based healing traditions, including training in Ortho-Bionomy®.

My clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed, culturally responsive, relational, and developmentally responsive care. I draw from somatic psychotherapy, attachment-based therapy, parts work, psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, and the belief that healing does not need to be forced. I am also currently studying AEDP and Brainspotting, approaches that deepen my attention to attachment, emotional processing, the nervous system, and the body’s innate capacity for healing.

As an associate counselor, my psychotherapy work is provided under clinical supervision in accordance with Washington State requirements.

Starting online therapy does not require having everything figured out. A free 15-minute consultation gives us a chance to connect, talk about what you are looking for, and explore whether relational somatic psychotherapy feels like the right fit. You are also welcome to reach out by email with questions before scheduling.
