If you’re successful on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, you’re not alone. Even with all your efforts to manage stress, you still feel it in your body.

Maybe you’re always bracing for what’s next, feeling exhausted no matter how much you sleep, or struggling to stay present in your relationships. You might notice your reactions feel bigger than the situation in front of you, or find yourself pulling back just to keep things from getting too intense.

I work with high-functioning adults in Boca Raton and throughout Florida who are tired of just getting through the day. With a mind-body approach, somatic therapy helps you notice what both your body and emotions are carrying, and respond in ways that bring real relief, resilience, and connection.

When the Usual Tools Don’t Go Far Enough

Maybe you’ve tried the things you’re supposed to: journaling, calling a friend, practicing gratitude, or reframing your thoughts. And sometimes they help. But when the stress keeps coming back, or your body still feels on edge, it’s a sign something deeper needs attention.

That’s where somatic therapy comes in. This approach works with both mind and body, so you’re not just talking through stress but noticing how it shows up in your body and emotions, and finding new ways to respond.

With support, it becomes possible to:

  • Step out of survival mode instead of forcing your way through

  • Notice what your body and emotions are asking for and actually respond

  • Release the cycles of tension, overthinking, and self-doubt

  • Feel more steady, present, and connected, even when life is full

If you’re looking for a Boca Raton somatic therapist, or live anywhere in Florida, I’d be glad to support you in this work.

Boca Raton Mind-Body Therapist

Boca Raton Somatic therapist, Amy Hagerstrom

Hi, I’m Amy.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) offering online therapy for adults in Boca Raton and throughout Florida.

I’m really glad you’re here.

I help people who are tired of pushing through stress, only to feel anxious, disconnected, or tense again. Even if you’ve tried therapy or other wellness tools, your body may still be carrying what talking alone can’t shift.

With somatic therapy, we bring mind and body into the process. By tuning into how your nervous system responds, you can release what’s been weighing you down and create steadier ways to move through life. This work supports real healing and growth, helping you feel more connected, capable, and clear.

If you’re in Boca Raton or anywhere in Florida, I’d be honored to support you.

Somatic therapy is a mind-body approach that brings your body into the healing process. Instead of only talking through stress, we notice how it shows up physically and emotionally and begin to shift the patterns keeping you stuck.

It can be especially helpful if you:

  • Feel on edge or unsettled, even when nothing seems “wrong”

  • Struggle with reactions that feel bigger than the situation

  • Have tried therapy before but still sense something unresolved

  • Carry stress in your body through tension, pain, fatigue, or restless energy

In our work together, Somatic Experiencing (SE) is the foundation. When it feels supportive, we can also include the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) or the Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP). These approaches help your nervous system register safety, release stress, and build the resilience you need to meet life with more steadiness.

If you live in Boca Raton or anywhere in Florida and this resonates, you can learn more about how I work by visiting the homepage or reaching out to explore whether this support feels right for you.
