Always bracing
Your mind may know you are safe while your body stays tense, alert, or unable to settle.
Somatic therapy throughout California
A grounded place to reconnect with yourself.
Thoughtful, trauma-informed therapy for emotional and relational patterns that can feel difficult to shift through insight alone.
You may recognize
When coping has helped you survive, but no longer helps you feel fully alive.
Disconnected or overwhelmed
You may move between feeling too much and feeling far away from yourself.
Repeating relationship patterns
You want closeness, boundaries, or trust to feel more possible—not merely understandable.
Carrying more than your share
Stress, caregiving, identity, and old survival roles may leave little room for your own needs.
A whole-person approach
Therapy can include what you think, what you feel, and what your body has learned.
Drisana integrates somatic and relational methods to help you approach emotional challenges with curiosity, care, and enough room to choose your pace.
Your history matters. So do your relationships, culture, identities, strengths, and the conditions that have shaped your experience. Sessions are personalized rather than formulaic.
How somatic therapy worksAreas of support
Care for the patterns beneath the surface.
Therapy may support adults and teens navigating experiences such as these, with attention to how they overlap and change over time.
Trauma & chronic stress
Support for the aftereffects of difficult experiences, persistent activation, shutdown, or a sense that the past is still present.
Anxiety & overwhelm
Space to understand worry, pressure, sensitivity, and the body’s responses without treating them as personal failures.
Relationships & life transitions
Care for attachment patterns, boundaries, grief, identity, changing roles, and the wish to relate differently.

Where can I attend online therapy sessions?
Drisana is based in Palm Springs and provides telehealth to clients who are physically located anywhere in California at the time of their session.
Do I need experience with somatic therapy?
No. Sessions begin with what feels accessible to you. Drisana can explain each invitation, and you can pause, decline, or change direction at any time.
Is somatic therapy only about the body?
No. Somatic work can include conversation, reflection, relationship, and attention to present-moment sensations. The approach makes room for the whole person rather than focusing on one part of experience.
A first step
You don't have to know exactly what to say.
A brief consultation is a place to share what you are looking for, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together may feel right.
