Allison White, LMFT

I am a trauma-informed somatic psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals resolve trauma, anxiety and depression.

Amidst life's challenges, if you are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, your presence matters deeply here. I am a trauma-informed LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) licensed in California, Colorado, and New Mexico. I am seeing clients virtually with some in person sessions. I have been in practice for over a decade working from a somatic trauma-informed perspective.

Research in neuroscience shows the combination of somatic therapy, EMDR, and breathwork have a deep capacity for healing. Through cultivating deep presence within ourselves, we can shift unhealthy patterns and discover embodiment. Somatic therapy utilizes the connection between the body, mind spirit in psychotherapy, and believes healing takes place within the whole self. EMDR works through bilateral stimulation of the brain and helps the brain re-organize thoughts around traumatic memories. Becoming present with our breath can help us move through trauma in our lives. Other modalities that I use in therapy are polyvagal theory, IFS, and attachment theory. All of these modalities come from a whole body perspective in healing.

We will work together to discover your innate healing abilities through attachment and psychodynamic approaches. Whether this be through traditional psychotherapy approaches, body-oriented approaches, or ethno-indigenous approaches, we will create a plan specific to your healing journey.
