Janelle Knippen, LCPC, RDMT, RYT

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Somatic Therapist, and Yoga Instructor. I integrate my training in Somatic Trauma Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy, EMDR, Yoga, and Reiki in my work as a counselor to provide a gentle, therapeutic space where clients can slow down, tune into their bodies, and find peace. This integrative approach supports the body’s natural ability to release, regulate, and restore overall balance.

I specialize in providing therapy for seniors, women, and young girls navigating chronic stress and illness, life transitions, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. I also work with those struggling to break free from harmful patterns, such as toxic relationship dynamics, eating disorders, and addictions. I am especially passionate about supporting clients who feel disconnected from their bodies and have not found relief through traditional talk therapy.

Drawing from my own experience navigating chronic pain and stress, I understand that physical and mental health symptoms are not created in a vacuum. In my work, I look at the root cause of symptoms and treat the entire system to promote healing. In Somatic Psychotherapy sessions with me, you can expect to not just sit and talk about your problems, which research shows has its limitations in creating change. Instead you will experience healing in real time, through gentle guided movement, meditation, and mindfulness practices that help release tension, process stored experiences, and address nervous system dysregulation. In addition to Psychotherapy sessions, I also offer in-person Somatic Touch/Reiki sessions as an alternate form of healing.

Clients report walking away from sessions with me feeling lighter and more centered than ever before. Book a session today to find relief from emotional and physical distress and to receive support navigating life’s stressors.
