Tender therapy for modern lives.
Trauma-informed Somatic Psychotherapy
for adults in New York and Online
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your full potential?
From the outside, it may seem like you have everything together - yet something still feels off. When the pressures of modern life, creative work, or unresolved past experiences become overwhelming, it can be hard to feel like yourself.
Rooted in trauma-informed frameworks and relational healing modalities, I offer compassionate, embodied, transformative therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and trauma. My goal is to help you reconnect with your body’s innate capacity for regulation, safety, and vitality.
I work with a range of clients, with a special focus on therapy for creatives and high‑performing professionals. Many are artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders seeking greater authenticity, ease, and alignment in their work and personal lives.
Patterns like perfectionism, creative blocks, imposter syndrome, and burnout are not character flaws - they’re often reflections of the protective strategies your nervous system learned to help you function and stay safe. Over time, though, those same adaptations can limit access to creativity, rest, and connection. Through neuroexperiential approaches, somatic therapy can support you in regulating your nervous system, expanding your capacity for presence, and rediscovering a grounded sense of self. Many clients notice greater freedom, creativity, and emotional resilience as they begin to feel truly at home in their bodies.
Services include individual and group therapy (in person or online across New York State), along with coaching and consultation for creatives seeking renewal, performance growth, and sustainable wellbeing.
I’d be glad to explore whether we might be a good fit.

About Jenny
I’m Jenny Williams, a Licensed Psychotherapist specializing in trauma recovery and performance enhancement.
My work integrates neuroscience, psychology, and somatic tools to support trauma healing and nervous system regulation. Through a heart‑centered, mind‑body approach, I help clients release unhelpful patterns and expand their creative capacity - guiding them from stress and self‑doubt toward freedom and flow. I offer personalized care tailored to your nervous system, personal history, and lived experience.
As a somatic and trauma‑informed therapist, I help clients gently unwind patterns of fear, doubt, or overwhelm - often rooted in early life experiences or trauma stored in the body - so they can live and create with more ease, flow, and confidence. Drawing on evidence‑based, neuro‑informed, and body‑oriented modalities – including Brainspotting, EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness - I support lasting change that shows up not just in insight, but in how you move, create, and connect.
My work supports creative professionals - from emerging artists and seasoned performers, to established cultural leaders who are navigating visibility, performance pressure, and public expectations. Together, we cultivate a flexible, resilient nervous system that sustains wellbeing, creativity, and ease.

Work With Me

Brainspotting is a neurobiological framework for healing trauma and emotionally charged experiences that are stored in the brain and body.
Brainspotting can help you deeply process and fully release the negative thoughts, unhealthy coping, emotional pain, and difficult past experiences that keep you from thriving in the present. Using specific eye positions connected to subcortical activation, Brainspotting allows the nervous system to self-scan and process unresolved stress or trauma. It’s a deeply attuned, bottom-up and inside-out method, working directly with the body’s natural capacity for regulation and repair.
-
Expand artistry and wellbeing with psychotherapy tailored for creatives and leaders.
Somatic modalities like Brainspotting can help heal performance issues - expanding full potential, flow states and possibilities. Brainspotting restores spontaneous expression by dissolving tension patterns that once served protection but now limit presence, removing interference so that creativity can flow.
-
Release the weight of the past and step fully into the present.
Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based, highly effective modality designed to treat the traumas that often underlie anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, low self esteem, and many other difficulties. EMDR can help you reprocess the past and increase nervous system safety. It is also a great way to help build confidence and enhance performance.

Brainspotting is a powerful support in psychedelic integration, helping clients gently access and process the emotional and somatic material that may surface before, during, and after a psychedelic experience.
By attuning to where the body holds the felt-sense and activation of the experience, Brainspotting allows insights, memories, and sensations from the journey to be integrated even more deeply at the nervous-system level. This approach can support meaning-making, emotional regulation, and a sense of grounding. Clients are able to embody, integrate and even expand on the growth, clarity, and deep healing that emerged during their original experience.
