Finding the Most Effective Somatic Therapy Denver has to Offer

Are you looking for the most effective somatic therapy Denver has to offer? Somatic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the body and mind connection. Unlike traditional therapy, somatic therapy focuses on how physical sensations, emotions, and behavior are all connected and how this affects our overall mental health. It can be hard to find somatic therapy in Denver, however Connected Brain Counseling offers somatic therapy as part of its modern options for mental health without medication. Keep reading to learn more about somatic therapy and how it can help you find emotional relief.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It recognizes that our physical sensations, emotions, and behavior are all interconnected and play a crucial role in our overall mental health. Unlike other therapy options, somatic therapy focuses on the mind and body connection and aims to release stored tension and trauma that may be affecting our well-being.

Through somatic therapy, individuals learn to pay attention to the physical sensations in their bodies and use them as a guide to explore their emotions and experiences. This therapeutic approach can involve a range of techniques such as breathing exercises, body movements, and mindfulness practices.

Somatic therapy provides a holistic and integrated approach to healing, as it acknowledges the inseparable nature of our body and mind. By addressing the physical and emotional aspects together, somatic therapy offers a powerful tool for emotional relief and overall well-being.

How is Somatic Therapy different from other therapy options?

Somatic therapy stands out from other therapy options because it recognizes the undeniable connection between our physical sensations, emotions, and behaviors. While traditional talk therapy focuses primarily on the mind and verbal expression, somatic therapy dives deeper into the body’s wisdom and the messages it holds. This unique approach allows individuals to tap into their physical sensations and use them as valuable clues to understand their emotions and experiences.

If you’re looking for a therapy option that goes beyond talk therapy, somatic therapy could be the game-changer you need.

Why is it hard to find Somatic Therapy in Denver?

Finding somatic therapy in Denver can be challenging for a few reasons. Firstly, somatic therapy is a relatively new and specialized approach to mental health treatment. It focuses on the mind-body connection, which is not as widely understood or accepted as traditional talk therapy. This means that there are fewer therapists in Denver who are trained and experienced in somatic therapy techniques.

There is still a stigma surrounding alternative forms of therapy, including somatic therapy. Many people are unfamiliar with this approach and may be hesitant to try it, leading to a limited demand for somatic therapists in the area. As a result, it can be difficult to find professionals who offer somatic therapy services.

Lastly, somatic therapy requires therapists to have a deep understanding of both psychology and physiology. This means that not all therapists are qualified to provide somatic therapy. Therefore, the pool of available somatic therapists in Denver may be smaller compared to other forms of therapy.

Despite these challenges, Connected Brain Counseling is proud to offer the most effective somatic therapy Denver has, providing individuals with the opportunity to explore this powerful approach to healing.

Sydney Focht, MA, LPC

Clinical Director & Counselor

I specialize in working with women in their 20s to 50s who struggle with self-worth, self-esteem, and the guilt that often comes with prioritizing themselves. Finding self-trust and the ability to feel worthy of happiness are common topics in my work. My clients tend to put off therapy because they downplay their struggles, describing their pain as ‘not that big of a deal.’ Many of them grew up in households where expressing emotions wasn’t encouraged and they are still looking for security now. My goal is to create a space where you feel completely free to be yourself—no pressure, no expectations. Therapy with me isn’t about either of us being ‘perfect’—it’s more about you feeling safe, seen, and supported as you figure things out in a way that works for you. I prioritize meaningful conversations that get to the heart of the issue, getting to the root and out of surface level conversation quickly. Going through my own therapy has given me a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be in the client’s seat, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping others find the support that truly works for them. My clients describe me as focused, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. I truly love what I do and that comes through in my work! I’m a person-centered therapist, but I often integrate elements of Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and IFS.

I support adults and teens (15+) who are ready to find relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck in life, career, or identity transitions. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, I help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward balance and resilience. I’m EMDR-trained and draw from person-centered, gestalt, DBT, and somatic practices.

I especially enjoy working with athletes, creative people, students, and outdoor adventurers who value resilience, beauty, and balance. Alongside therapy and grounding practices, I also offer neurofeedback as another powerful pathway for nervous system regulation and healing.
