Therapy in Williamsburg | Stefanie Raccuglia

Your body carries information long before words arrive. Somatic psychotherapy invites you to listen closely to subtle physical cues that reflect how your system has adapted over time. Through breath, sensation, and gentle movement, patterns that once felt confusing begin to make sense. As the nervous system slows and finds safety, emotional insight and cognitive understanding come together, supporting a more grounded and integrated healing process.

In embodied coaching sessions, we work with both your cognitive understanding and your bodily responses so decisions emerge from steadiness rather than urgency. You begin noticing what depletes you, what restores you, and how your system responds under pressure. This awareness supports choices that feel aligned, sustainable, and rooted in your values rather than driven by external expectations.

In EMDR therapy, we work with how past experiences live in your body today. Certain reactions may feel immediate or overwhelming, even when you logically know you are safe. This approach helps your system update those responses, creating more space between the present moment and what once felt inescapable.

Living with complex trauma often means your system learned to stay alert, guarded, or self-critical in order to survive. C-PTSD therapy gently works with these adaptations, helping your body recognize that the threat is no longer present. Healing unfolds gradually, supporting regulation and stability without overwhelming your system.

If you often question your worth or second-guess your choices, self esteem therapy offers space to understand where those patterns began. We work with the emotional and bodily responses beneath self-doubt. As your system finds steadiness, confidence starts to emerge naturally rather than through effort or pressure.

When burnout sets in, rest alone often isn’t enough. Burnout therapy helps you understand how chronic stress has shaped your body, emotions, and sense of self. By working directly with your nervous system, this approach supports deeper recovery rather than temporary relief.

If relationships leave you feeling anxious, guarded, or unsure of where you stand, attachment therapy offers a gentle way to understand why. We explore how your nervous system learned to protect you in connection. As inner safety grows, relationships begin to feel less activating and more steady.

In supervision, you have space to process the emotional weight that comes with holding others. We explore countertransference, clinical questions, and the instincts guiding your work. This process supports you in feeling more confident, ethically grounded, and attuned in the therapy room.
