My name is Kel Smith. As a trans woman and somatic therapist, I have an embodied and practical understanding of how transphobia and cissexism can impact our relationships to our bodies. I work primarily with transgender, nonbinary, and queer adults and couples in California. I am here to support you in navigating anxiety, as well as alleviating dissociation and depression. I am here to support you with developing more understanding of yourself by spending intentional time being curious about what’s coming up in your body.

Maybe you are a trans woman who desires to work with a therapist who is also a trans woman. Maybe you are wanting to cultivate more awareness and agency over the impulses and urges that your anxieties bring up for you. Maybe you are longing to slow down and be with what comes up in a spacious and consensual environment. Either way, I am here to respect and empower your autonomy while being a supportive agent of change on your path to living a more fulfilled life.

Somatics has been a powerful tool for me on my journey with my gender and towards living more authentically. My journey with somatics has brought fulfillment with myself and the world and people around me. With this in mind, my work with clients involves ongoing, explicit, and informed consent.

All of my sliding scale spots below $120 are currently full. I am currently only offering telehealth sessions.
