Amber Hughes

I am trained in a wide variety of areas, however my technique is primarily rooted in relational/psychodynamic theory and Somatic Experiencing. This means that the therapeutic relationship that forms between us will serve as our guiding force. I take a somatic approach to healing; I believe that the mind and body are one entity and must be treated together. I treat trauma by working with the nervous system directly, to help clients regulate and restore nervous system equilibrium. I have completed a three year training program with Somatic Experiencing International and am certified as a Somatic Experiencing© Practitioner. Therefore, I am inclined to take a slow and steady approach to experiencing our sensations and understanding our nervous systems’ role in our healing journey.
