Somatic Therapy
You’re Ready For Therapy To Feel Different.
If you’re considering somatic therapy, this is where the differences between approaches begin to matter.
YOU’VE SPENT TIME TRYING TO UNDERSTAND YOURSELF. YOU’VE READ, REFLECTED, MAYBE EVEN TALKED THINGS THROUGH WITH OTHERS.
Intellectually, things make sense. You experienced some hard things growing up and likely your family wasn’t able to meet you where you needed it most emotionally. And that can have an impact on how you relate to others today—you get that. But understanding something in your mind hasn’t quieted the tension that still lives in your body. For many people, this is connected to particular experiences—sometimes traumatic—that left a lasting imprint on the nervous system.
Ly Franshaua Pipkins, Psy.D., specializes in body-based therapies across California through her online therapy practice, using nervous system-based approaches to get to the root of what’s keeping you unsettled.
YOU’RE READY TO:
Shift not just in how you understand things—but in how you actually feel and respond.
Loosen patterns that once felt automatic.
Feel less activated in challenging situations. Stop pushing past your body’s signals.
Gain access to a different kind of life.
Move through the world with less urgency and more clarity.
Reconnect with a sense of internal safety, and build spaciousness.
Feel like the real you — not the version shaped by pressure, but the one rooted in presence, intuition, and steadiness.
HOW IT WORKS
Paying attention to both mind and body can bring lasting change.
Together, we move at a pace that feels manageable and supportive—allowing your nervous system to process without needing to force or explain everything in words.
Instead of bracing against your feelings or getting frustrated for being overwhelmed, we slow things down together. We notice what’s happening in your body — the tight chest, the sinking stomach, the racing thoughts — and we identify which part of you is speaking. Often, it’s the parts shaped by external expectations: family pressure, cultural roles, community standards, or years of needing to perform strength, success, or emotional control.
I’ll guide you step-by-step in meeting these parts with compassion, not judgment. Using eye placement, breath and intuitive movement — the work becomes clear and accessible. And slowly, things begin to shift.
Your self-critical part softens.
Your guilt eases.
Your body feels less tight.
