“She’s a wonderful practitioner, was very insightful in helping me navigate daily stressors through my relationship, life with kids, and education. I almost didn’t book with her due to her being out of network but I felt as though I spent so much time choosing the wrong provider because they were in network and the level of care I was receiving was lacking. Her approach to patient care is so different and refreshing to what I was accustomed to and I feel like I’m really beginning to understand myself and break out of that maladaptive cycle of behavior that has been negatively impacting my life all these years. I genuinely wish I had made the choice sooner, as the cheaper options ended up costing me years of my life that could have been spent enjoying the present rather than being trapped in the past. ”

“I’d never been to therapy before and was pretty nervous. She walked me through exactly what the first session would look like, told me I didn't have to share anything I wasn't ready to, and checked in the whole time. Would highly recommend.”

Getting to know Dr. Nelly Seo
Have you ever been told to "sit with your feelings," and you nodded along, wondering what that actually means? I specialize in somatic and attachment-focused therapy, through which we make real sense of your story, your patterns, your relationships — alongside the mind-body connection because feelings don't just live in your thoughts, they live in your body too. I work with adults navigating trauma, chronic pain and illness, and questions of identity, including women of color and LGBTQIA+ clients. Together, we can learn and shape what it means for you and your body to "sit with feelings."
In our work together, you will build the capacity to feel difficult feelings and respond rather than react to them. In practice, this means more room to breathe before you act, and more agency in how you show up in your life. We will explore your history and current challenges, while also building regulation skills like mindful movement and breathwork.
I specialize in working with with marginalized identities. New to therapy? Welcome- we'll find your pace together. Been before and it didn't land? I'd love to help you and your body find what you need to become your brightest self. I believe facets of identity- race, gender, sexual orientation, and more - shape our lived experiences and our work together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions, with attention to unique stressors faced by folx with marginalized identities. Using Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and IFS, we address both the story and the nervous system underneath it, working toward lasting, felt change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use a mix of somatic approaches (Somatic Experiencing, EMDR) and relational and attachment focused therapy to provide a holistic approach. Alongside understanding your patterns, we will foster coping strategies (e.g. breathwork, mindful movement) to help you actually feel better.
