Madelyn Bullard
Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, #129337
MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Somatics
Eugene Porter, LMFT 19703
I offer a heart-centered, intuitive approach to relational somatic psychotherapy. Together let’s explore your strengths, as well as examine some of the obstacles you encounter towards living your fullest, embodied life. People often come to therapy when the ways they’ve brilliantly learned to cope become maladaptive over time. We long to find new ways of moving through the world, as well as within our relationships, with increased expression & authenticity. Somatic therapy provides a vast landscape of support for whatever wants to unfurl within you, at your own, unique pace.
My approach is gentle & experiential, yet direct. Experiential means based in the present moment- what is happening, right now? What wants to move, shift? Inspired by the Hakomi principle of organicity & the wholeness apparent in nature, I know & honor that each person who comes through my door is intact with all the puzzle pieces that they need to thrive.
I specialize in working with HSPs, as well as survivors of sexual abuse and assault to regain a felt sense of safety & empowerment in the world. As Michael Meade once said, "Our greatest gifts and deepest wounds reside in the same area.” As a guide, I am here to support and midwife the process of uncovering these gifts from a compassionate, trauma-informed lens.
