SOMATIC COUNSELING


Hala works with a variety of techniques to help facilitate clients in unleashing their innate ability to heal and resolve past traumas and wounds. Her approach is holistic- she works with a depth psychological perspective that emphasizes the soul (psyche) and each person's inherent capacity to heal and move towards wholeness. She works with a technique called Somatic Experiencing to help release contractive patterns of trauma from the body-mind to balance and reorganize the nervous system and the entire being. She specializes in (but is not limited to) working with women, multi-cultural issues, relationship issues, teenagers and "at risk" youth.

Somatic Experiencing (SE), for me, was about experiencing my body as part of my being. Through SE, Hala and I explored not only the energetic and spiritual debris left in my body from a car accident I had recently been in, I also, unexpectedly, found images and feelings from events long since past lingering around in my psyche that talk therapy had never allowed me to access. With Hala's guidance, I was able to communicate with my body, and find out what it has been trying to tell me for a long time. A session with Hala is a place to explore the best person I can be without fighting or ignoring the difficulties and baggage that I bring with me. With Hala, I am not afraid to think of greatness or of weakness inside me.
