I truely feel safe in my own space and in the world, for the first time in my 70 years on this earth. This somatic work has given me an opportunity to step out of my story and view my very sensitive nervous system with respect and awe. Amy has helped me to understand that I "AM NOT BROKEN". And most importantly to learn how to understand and use the messages from my nervous system as a guide. The environment at the Collaborative is respectful, healing and safe. I am grateful to have found Amy and the Somatic Collaborative.

I saw Amy for about a year and have benefited enormously from being with her. She always was…read moreintimately present and non-judgemental even when traumatized and very needy parts of me showed up. She was willing to follow where no other therapist had dared to go, making the relationship real and caring. She is able to think outside the box and has an adventurous spirit. Most of all, it was thanks to her genuine care and love that old traumatized parts in me could heal. I highly recommend her. MH, Chapel Hill

He talks down to me and told me after my testing that I was "definitely mentally slow but not due to a learning disability" so he didn't know how to help me. Dr. Reed is not supportive at all. He acts like he judges you and if you can find a work around for something, he says you must be just fine on your own. Even if you explain that you can't function without said work around. Please do your mental health a favor and DONT GO!!!

Visiting Steven is like going to that safe place that you have tucked away in your heart from your…read morechildhood. I feel trusted and trusting in his space and can allow my deepest, truest voice to be heard in his presence. There's no judgement from him, only kindness that strives to stroll through some painful past experiences. Steven is a most trusting, helpful, and skilled healer (and an excellent writer too!) He is persistent yet mindful of boundaries. He will nudge you over that small roadblock of your mind and help you to realize how easy (or difficult) it was to overcome. Then you will learn how glad you are to have gone through it. The world seems like a different place after a session with Steven. There should be a sign in Steven's office - Disclaimer: Clarity and mindfulness may follow. Self-understanding, rejuvenation, growth, tranquility, confidence, and mental relief all come to mind. Steven will put years of experience, research, reading, writing, singing, and learning into the path of your winding river. Aptly named: Flow Healing Arts.

Steven is the bomb diggity. Plain and simple…read more I went to Steven, so I thought, because my back was hurting, and no conventional therapies were working for me. I also thought it could be some kind of emotional issue as well, I was desperate and tired of being hunched over like an old lady. What I got was so much more. Not only did my back pain go away, but I got major transformation to boot. My relationships have improved. I started dating (after being single for 2 years), and I'm feeling more present and "in-my-body" than I ever have before in my life. I think every person who wants real transformation should go see this guy. He's not only a genius at what he does, but he really walks the talk. He IS a really grounded, present, and open hearted guy. You just feel calm in his presence. It's a rare find to find a healer who seems to have some of their own stuff worked out, it gives you a lot of faith in what they're doing with you! Anyway, he's awesome. GO. Just...go.

We bought some children therapeutic toys from her only to be offered the same toys for sale the following session, just a week later. Pretended to "treat" the child without ever meeting the child. Provided suggestions without ever following up. If she had an actual office she wouldn't be able to sell the image of tranquility that she projects by seeing clients in her comfortable suburban house. It's a good marketing strategy that doesn't help those who seek professional services. A very disappointing experience.

As a…read morenative Chapel Hillian, I have a vast knowledge of educational opportunities (both public and private) and community and state resources for you and your family. I have a very open-minded, psychodynamic approach to therapy. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), and play therapy when I'm working with children. I have completed two master's programs at UNC-Chapel Hill in both clinical social work and recreation therapy. I've also had the good fortune to train with many leading experts on ADHD, sensory issues and temperament issues in children. Having a background in recreation therapy gives me a wonderful foundation for incorporating fun, meaningful play into sessions with children. My areas of specialization are working with children, adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression and ADHD, parenting issues, life transitions, adjustment to new parenthood (including postpartum depression), relationship counseling, school consultation, and support for families during separation/divorce. I utilize CBT, sensory play and art with children. My approach with adults is custom tailored to each client, but my background is in family systems, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapies.

I feel like I'm back in the game of life now but I'm still consulting with Jenna after 18 months. She continues to be an excellent resource for me because she is a great listener but knows when to jump in if my emotional reasoning starts to stray. Her insights into why I sometimes get stuck are really helpful to me. She is grounded and evidence based, introducing me to various tools, attitudes and skill sets for managing my sometimes turbulent emotional landscape. But she also has great intuition and insight into mysteries of the heart and the need to respect and learn from our reptilian instincts without being controlled by that part of us. Jenna has a great balance between head and heart. Her vibe is confident, open to life and compassionate. She knows she has something good to offer and she skillfully brings that spirit to our conversations. I trust her and highly recommend her.
