Therapy in Fort Greene | Stefanie Raccuglia
Strong community and creative expression do not always prevent anxiety, relational stress, or emotional overwhelm. Many clients arrive feeling they’ve been holding too much on their own for too long. Therapy creates a compassionate, grounded space to slow down and bring awareness to what has been living beneath the surface. Through somatic psychotherapy, I support clients in gently exploring emotional patterns, restoring nervous system balance, and developing a more regulated and supported inner experience.

Somatic & Movement Therapy
READ MOREHealing doesn’t always begin with talking. Somatic psychotherapy works by noticing how experience shows up in the body—through breath, muscle tone, and movement. As you gently engage these signals, insight begins to surface in a way that feels steady and contained. The nervous system learns to settle, allowing emotional awareness and cognitive meaning to align, supporting lasting regulation and self-connection.
Embodied Coaching & Consulting
READ MOREEmbodied consulting invites you to pause long enough to sense what is happening beneath your usual ways of coping. As you attune to bodily cues, insight develops around how your nervous system responds to work demands, boundaries, and relationships. This process supports more intentional action and a deeper sense of internal alignment.
EMDR Therapist
READ MOREThis work helps reduce the intensity of memories without erasing them. Through EMDR therapy, your system learns it no longer has to stay hypervigilant or shut down in response to reminders of the past. With time, emotional experiences feel more manageable and less consuming.
C PTSD Therapy
READ MOREWhen trauma was prolonged, the body often carries responses that feel automatic or confusing. C-PTSD therapy helps you understand these reactions with compassion rather than judgment. By working with sensation, emotion, and attachment patterns, relief becomes possible without forcing change.
Self Esteem Therapy
READ MOREThis work helps soften the inner critic that may have shaped how you relate to yourself. Self esteem therapy explores the origins of these internal voices while supporting your nervous system in building safety. Over time, your sense of worth becomes more stable and embodied.
Burnout Therapy
READ MOREIf exhaustion feels like your baseline, burnout therapy helps uncover why your system hasn’t been able to fully rest. This work gently releases stored tension and supports regulation so energy can return in a way that feels safe and sustainable.
Attachment Therapy
READ MOREWhen closeness triggers fear, shutdown, or overthinking, attachment therapy helps slow things down. We work with the sensations and emotional responses that arise in connection. Over time, your system learns that intimacy can exist without overwhelm.
Therapy Supervision
READ MORETherapy supervision supports you in navigating complex cases without losing connection to yourself. We pay attention to somatic cues, relational dynamics, and clinical decision making. This helps you build embodied confidence rather than relying solely on technique.

"The manner in which all things came to a screeching halt in Covid shutdown for my student was mind blowing. She is a TAG, 2E empathic who feels so deeply when in most situations especially given crisis situations. Stefanie's weekly Zoom group meeting to support my student and others alike, was an incredibly helpful experience! She took time for each student, had mindful convos and fun exercises!”

“I work for a fast-paced, innovative, and diverse tech company in Los Angeles. Stefanie has facilitated a few classes for our employees and clients. It is enough that Stefanie so intimately understands her areas of expertise and is able to deliver information that not only changes the here and now but truly the future of her listeners - what is more exceptional is how Stefanie can talk to a room full of people and somehow manage to deliver her message in a way that every single person in the room, despite differences, receives it as if they are alone with her in deep conversation. Stefanie's points of view and conviction result in her driving impact every single time she joins us on many different topics.”

Hello I’m Stefanie Raccuglia, a therapist blending somatic work with attachment focused approaches
I support people who feel disconnected, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in familiar patterns that no longer serve them. Using somatic psychotherapy and attachment focused approaches, we explore how your body has adapted over time and how it can soften into greater ease. This work supports emotional regulation, self understanding, and a more balanced inner experience.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
Therapy works best when you feel safe, seen, and understood. If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your needs, my approach, and whether it feels like the right fit for you.
How often do we meet?
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, depending on their needs and goals. We can discuss what frequency feels best for your process.
How long should I expect to be in therapy?
There is no standard timeline for therapy; it depends entirely on you and what you hope to gain.
At the beginning, we’ll establish goals and check in on progress over time. Healing is not just about “checking off” goals but about feeling confident in your ability to navigate challenges and growth without therapy.
Some people find 3 months helpful for gaining awareness and new tools. Others find that around 6 months, they begin making meaningful changes. Some continue therapy as a space for ongoing self-growth, while others work toward a specific outcome and end when they feel complete. I will never expect you to be in therapy longer than you need.
What’s your cancellation policy?
I require 48 hours' notice for cancellations. Late cancellations or missed sessions may be subject to a fee. This is explained more fully in my intake paperwork.
Can I use my insurance for virtual therapy?
I currently do not accept insurance payments. I can support you in seeking out of network reimbursement if your insurance plans has those benefits.
