About My Clients
I have particular experience supporting folks navigating stress and anxiety, relational difficulties, chronic illness, panic and activation in the body, obsessive compulsive patternings (OCD), spiritual questioning, and grief and loss.
My Background and Approach
I'm a somatic, relational therapist-- which means that the bedrock of my therapy work is including embodiment and relational awareness in all that I do. I am also deeply interested in the ways in which we can tap into our nervous system's immense power for healing, regulating, and supporting us emerging from chronic patterns of being in states of fight/flight/freeze. I weave nervous system regulation work into my sessions with folks when that is supportive. In addition to my background in Psychodynamic therapy, I have extensive training in Gestalt therapy-- a form of somatic therapy that pays particular attention to your embodied experience, the therapeutic relationship as a site of information and healing, and what is happening for you in the present moment ie: mindfulness. I am also trained in EMDR as a way of supporting folks healing + integrating past traumatic experiences. You can learn more about my practice at: https://www.mowiefreemanlicsw.com/
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe deeply in each person's innate goodness and capacity for healing and growth. My approach to therapy is grounded in consent and collaboration-- making space for folks to take the lead in the growth work that they are wanting to prioritize and center. I am deeply committed to anti-racism work and to the continual work of unlearning my own social conditioning. I'm committed to practicing with an anti-oppression framework, recognizing the impact of larger social systems on your experience, and making space to notice where dynamics of privilege, oppression, and power are shaping. Mindfulness and meditation are central and sustaining practices in my life.
