Brian J. Douville

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), a level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, and am also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) and in the IFS method with couples, Intimacy From The Inside Out (IFIO). My approach to treatment is positive, strength-based and collaborative.Working in the psychotherapy field for over 30 years has taught me that the wisdom and capacity to heal lies within each of us, but we often need guidance in learning new tools and coping strategies in order to access this self-healing. I offer my clients new methods for allowing the natural ability of the mind and body to heal itself. All of the treatment methods I utilize focus on bringing curiosity and compassionate awareness to all parts of ourselves. These approaches lead to the alleviation of suffering, an increase in self-regulation, a releasing of hurt, pain and trauma and a restoration to our true essence: being in connection with ourselves and with others.
