Somatic Integrative Therapies LLC

Hi, I’m Lex. I’m passionate about supporting people who are curious about their nervous systems, especially as they move through trauma recovery or awaken from the weight of chronic stress. I aim to truly hear and honor your perspective, helping you explore your inner world, celebrate your strengths, and reclaim parts of yourself that may have been overlooked. Together, we’ll co-create a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where neurodivergent experiences and nervous system awareness are fully supported. I work from a trauma-informed and humanistic perspective, grounded in the belief that each person’s story is shaped by their lived experiences, identities, and the environments they’ve moved through. I see therapy as a collaborative process where your voice, insight, and sense of agency are not only welcomed but essential. Rather than pathologizing symptoms, I approach them as meaningful signals—adaptive responses that once made sense in the context of survival, protection, or disconnection. My role is to offer curiosity, compassion, and support as you explore what healing might look and feel like on your own terms. My clinical lens is also deeply informed by mind-body approaches that respect the wisdom of the nervous system. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a powerful, evidence-based method that supports the integration of past experiences that may still be impacting the present. EMDR can be especially helpful when words feel limiting or when insight alone hasn’t shifted long-held patterns. In addition, I am a beginning Level III Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, working toward full certification in this body-based trauma modality. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle yet profound approach that supports individuals in accessing greater regulation, connection, and presence by tracking the felt sense of the body. SE helps make space for the incomplete survival responses that often live in the nervous system after trauma or chronic stress, allowing for release and integration in a way that honors the body’s pace. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, an evidence-based model that views the mind as naturally subdivided into distinct parts, each with its own perspectives, emotions, and roles. Through IFS, we work collaboratively to identify and understand these internal parts, including protective and vulnerable aspects, fostering greater self-leadership and internal harmony. This process supports healing by addressing internal conflicts and promoting compassionate integration within the self. My practice is inclusive of all identities and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to heal. Healing is a deeply personal process, and together we will collaborate to listen deeply and understand what your body and mind need to move toward greater balance and well-being. Whether we draw from EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, or simply create space for reflection and connection, my commitment is to offer a responsive, compassionate, and attuned therapeutic relationship. Please note that I communicate exclusively via email, which I check and respond to regularly.
