Alexandra Guzmán, LMFT, SEP
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner
Offering Teletherapy, including Somatic Experiencing and NeuroAffective Touch, via Zoom sessions for your safety and comfort.
I am here to help
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner with over 23 years of experience in private practice. I spent the first years practicing traditional talk therapy. Only when I discovered the then emerging fields of Somatic Experiencing and NeuroAffective Touch Practitioning, I became keenly aware of the mind-body connection, the power of re-discovering a sense of safety within ourselves which then reignites our life force energy.
I have since integrated these physical and emotional therapeutic practices, focused on helping the body release its stored memory and trauma. Numerous clients, both young and old, married and single, released their ancient traumas, increased their resiliency skills, and found their path toward a happy life.
Once we find a sense of freedom from our destructive patterns we can begin to create loving relationships. You’ll find it’s all about love, love for ourselves.
Video conferencing is available upon request. While there is nothing to fully replace human touch, there actually is a way to finely attune and achieve a similar sense of connection and safety through video conferencing.
Please feel free to contact me so that we might begin to help free your body and mind.
Alex's warm and engaging presence is the perfect complement to the relational somatic approaches she integrates in her work. Alex offers the comprehensive creativity and a of an experienced therapist as she combines the best of traditional psychotherapy with leading-edge trauma and body-centered therapies.
