Trauma Therapy In San Francisco
Trauma Therapy
Are you tired of going through life feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by past trauma?
At Calm Again Counseling, we provide somatic therapy in San Francisco, CA, and the surrounding areas to help people recover from the effects of trauma. We are here for you if you’re considering help from a mental health professional.
Somatic Therapy Promotes Mental and Physical Health
Unresolved trauma can interfere with your mental and physical health and relationships. Most people aren’t aware that past trauma is causing them to suffer from unwanted symptoms that affect their well-being and keep them from their goals.
If you have unresolved trauma, somatic therapy can help ease feelings of:
Anxiety
Stress
Depression
Digestive issues
Sexual dysfunction
Chronic pain
Low self-esteem
Our team of experienced and compassionate therapists creates a calming and safe atmosphere where you can share your feelings. We can help you understand unique mind and body connections through techniques like grounding, breathing, and meditation and promote recovery. You don’t have to suffer from the lingering effects of trauma alone.
Somatic Therapy San Francisco | Healing Starts in the Body
You may have tried to “think your way out” of anxiety, stress, or trauma. But when your body still feels on edge, tight chest, shallow breath, a constant undercurrent of tension, talk alone might not be enough.
At Calm Again Counseling, we offer somatic therapy in San Francisco to help you reconnect with your body, release what’s been stored, and begin to feel safe within yourself again.
A Different Kind of Therapy
Somatic therapy brings the body into the healing process. It’s not just about talking, it’s about noticing what’s happening inside, slowing down, and creating space for your nervous system to settle.
As somatic therapists in San Francisco, we use body-based techniques that help you regulate emotions, discharge trauma, and gently reconnect with sensations you may have been avoiding or suppressing for years.
You Don’t Have to Explain Everything with Words
For many of our clients, somatic therapy is a relief. There’s no pressure to tell your entire story. We move at your pace, using mindfulness, movement, and body awareness to help you track what you feel, moment to moment.
Whether you feel stuck in fight-or-flight, emotionally disconnected, or exhausted from carrying it all, we’re here to help you come back to your body with compassion and care.
Who We Work With at Calm Again Counseling
We work with individuals who are:
Navigating anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress
Living with depression that feels “stuck” in the body
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, shut down, or dissociated
Recovering from childhood neglect, relationship wounds, or burnout
Seeking deeper self-awareness and nervous system healing
You don’t need a specific diagnosis to benefit from somatic therapy. If you feel disconnected from yourself, your emotions, or your body, we invite you to reach out.
Why Somatic Therapy in San Francisco Is Especially Needed?
Life in San Francisco can be exciting—but it’s also demanding. The fast pace, long commutes, tech culture, and cost of living often keep your nervous system in a constant state of alert. Over time, this can manifest as physical tension, emotional exhaustion, or a sense of being disconnected from yourself.
Somatic therapy in San Francisco gives you the tools to slow down and feel grounded again. It helps you reset, release, and build resilience in the face of stress—whether it’s coming from work, relationships, or your internal pressure to “keep it all together.”
What to Expect from Somatic Therapy?
In a typical session, we’ll help you gently tune into physical sensations, movements, and internal cues. This can include:
Breathwork and grounding exercises
Guided body scans or tracking sensations
Movement and posture awareness
Noticing tension, release, and areas of holding
Integrating what your body is telling you with what your mind knows
We offer a safe, attuned space where your body is welcomed—not judged—and where even subtle shifts can lead to lasting change.
Why Choose a Somatic Therapist in San Francisco?
In a city like San Francisco, fast-paced living, tech-driven lifestyles, and high-pressure environments can disconnect you from your body.
Our somatic therapy helps you slow down and listen—so you can process stored stress, increase resilience, and begin to live more fully in the present. Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for something deeper than talk, we’re here to support your healing from the inside out.
Finding the Right Somatic Therapist in San Francisco
Not all therapy is created equal, and not every therapist is trained to work with the body. That’s why finding the right somatic therapist in San Francisco can make all the difference.
At Calm Again, we focus specifically on nervous system health, embodied awareness, and trauma-informed care. We listen not just to your words, but to what your body might be holding beneath them. You’ll be met with skill, presence, and a deep respect for your process, no matter where you’re starting from.
You Deserve to Feel at Home in Your Body
Many of us learn to numb or ignore our bodies just to get through the day. But long-term, that disconnection can lead to anxiety, burnout, and emotional shutdown.
Somatic therapy is about reclaiming your right to feel, at your own pace, in your own way. We’ll walk beside you as you learn to trust your body again and find calm not just in your mind, but in your nervous system too.

FAQs
Whether you’re considering therapy for the first time or searching for answers to trauma recovery, we are happy to answer your questions. Here are a few questions we frequently answer.
Who Can Benefit From Somatic Therapy?
We all can experience pain, anxiety, stress, or depression at some point. However, some people may have PTSD, chronic anxiety, grief, or addiction and need professional help working through their emotions. Somatic therapy can help you discover the root cause of your feelings and thoughts as you process them in a safe space.
What Can I Expect In A Somatic Therapy Session?
Everyone will have a different experience in therapy because we are all unique individuals. There is no perfect formula for recovery, and we want you to feel relaxed and calm during each session. Most people feel comfortable during a somatic therapy session as they permit their mind and body to relax. If you allow yourself to release hidden emotions, you may feel yourself drift into a warm, light sleep state. We may recommend journaling at home to facilitate optimal recovery.
