Emerald Mental Health is a group practice that is deeply passionate about caring for and treating the whole person. We value holistic care from a somatic and nervous system approach, recognizing and acknowledging that true healing begins in the body. By addressing and honoring stored or buried emotions in our bodies, we have the opportunity to authentically feel and release them. This allows us to reconnect with our real, true inner selves and regulate symptoms of trauma, shame, guilt, perfectionism, eating disorders, mood and personality disorders, anxiety, and depression.

Through this process, we create safety within the body and provide the groundwork for healing and change. To get to the root of healing, it is vital to address the connection between our mental and emotional well-being, with the systems of safety created by our bodies and nervous systems. Each person has unique stories created through both our generational traumas and present experiences. Connecting, regulating and ultimately integrating our body’s nervous system with our mind creates a foundation for safety.

Somatic and nervous system approaches reveal the stories of how our bodies have adapted to protect us, shaping our sense of safety. These patterns influence our daily functioning, symptoms of mental health conditions, and how we navigate relationships with others. By redefining safety in partnership with our bodies, we open the door to make the true changes, healing and transformation we desire.
