A Different Kind of Psychotherapy

Are you tired of repeating old, unhappy patterns in relationship?

Are you struggling to break free from the shackles of
addictive patterns and anxious or depressive cycles?

Are you endlessly self-critical and need to start liking,
and even loving, the person you are?

Do you desire to feel more awake, more alive, 
and more open to taking important risks?

Often, our clients are surprised by how powerful and transformative somatic therapy feels from the very beginning. While purpose-driven, our work always takes place in a context of spaciousness and safety.

Our passion is in helping you create the life you seek.

Mindful, Body-Centered Psychotherapy in NYC

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to psychological healing and personal growth that works directly with the mind-body connection. It combines elements of talk therapy with mindfulness and body-centered awareness practices, granting focused access to the core wounds underlying current psychological problems. Gentle but powerful, somatic psychotherapy works deeply to help you gain crucial insight, experience new ways of being and feeling, and cultivate lasting change.

At Brooklyn Somatic Therapy, we provide a therapy experience that is goal-oriented and grounded in collaboration and respect. Whether you're looking to work individually or as a couple, our therapists can assist you in breaking through old barriers and finding more satisfaction and aliveness.

What Our Clients Are Saying…

“Most transformative hour of my adult life. I felt safe to share, weep and explore my thoughts and feelings. Rebecca's deep and nuanced listening, compassion, and pin-sharp intellect returned my breath to me and put the floor back beneath my feet”

- Y.S. 

“I saw Dr Kagedan for just 10 sessions, but in that time he helped me reach a new level of psychological understanding. He was able to separate my core issues from the superficial ones, and focussed on resolving those core issues. Like all good psychologists, he is easy to talk to and has a good sense of humor.”

- A.T

“If Rebecca hadn’t come into my life I likely would have struggled more over the past few years than I have. While there is no magic, and difficulties will always arise, I now feel as though I have a toolkit to address challenges that come my way and an understanding of myself that will guide me in many of my future interactions. She has given me both the language and confidence to unabashedly yet gently advocate for myself. I feel immensely grateful for all that I have learned from Rebecca.”
