A decade of holding space. A decade of mindful growth. ✨
​Ten years ago, I Angela Prior LCSW-S, E-RYT started AP Counseling and Yoga with a single couch, a yoga mat, and a simple mission: to heal the mind and move the body. Over the last 10 years, our community of practitioners and clients has only continued to grow. proving that the most profound healing happens when we stop working in silos and start bridging the gap between clinical expertise and body-based wisdom. ​Because "Counseling + Yoga" was just the beginning, we are thrilled to welcome our next chapter: The AP + Co Collective!
​What does this mean? We simply expanded into a collaborative wellness community!
​🤍 AP Counseling and Yoga remains our foundational clinical anchor practice. Our core team (including myself, Olivia, Rebecca, and Kierstin) is still providing the same deeply specialized, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed therapy you've trusted for a decade.
🤍 We have expanded our physical space to host incredible, fully independent Community Partners—like specialists in grief, ADHD, and EMDR—so you have direct access to a hand-picked circle of experts.
🤍 We have launched our Digital Studio & Collective! You can now access our trauma-sensitive somatic movement practices and nervous system regulation tools right from your living room.
​Healing is better together. Thank you for walking with us this far now, come meet the rest of the team link in bio ❤️

Healing isn’t just a mental game; it’s a physical one. If you feel "stuck" despite knowing exactly why you feel the way you do, your body might still be holding onto a story your mind has already finished telling. At AP Counseling & Yoga, we bridge that gap. 🧘‍♀️✨

What to Expect:

Guided Breathwork: cultivating self compassion (Guided by Angela).

Sound Bath: Using crystal singing bowls and other sound healing instruments (Guided by Angela).

Individual Reiki Clearing: Personalized energy work to unblock and balance the heart center (Guided by Jena).

Community Connection: After the practice, you are invited to stay for tea and connection. We will also offer optional oracle card pulls to help provide clarity and guidance for the path ahead.

Important Note: This is an exclusive in-person event at our East Dallas Location. To ensure a safe container and ample time for individual Reiki, space is strictly limited to 5 individuals.

Why this can be helpful is:

1. The Body Keeps the Score
The phrase “the body keeps the score”, popularized by psychiatrist Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, means that trauma is not simply a mental or emotional event, but a profound physical experience that leaves a lasting imprint on the body’s physiological systems..

While the conscious mind may know and understand that they are no longer in danger it does not “feel” that way.

2. You Can’t Talk Your Way Out of a Nervous System Response
In these moments when the body is keeping the score you can not talk yourself out of it. Your survival instinct have decided that the rational logical parts of your brain are not needed right now. I alway say “there are only so many resources to go around” and your nervous system wants you to survive so it reallocates resources.

That process works really well in an immediate danger situation but the body doesn’t always realize that your fear of failure, fear of gaining weight, or fear of small spaces is not actually dangerous. In fact, it only “feels” dangerous but the automatic process has already started.

So when a trigger happens, your nervous system responds faster than your conscious thoughts.

3. Creates Resilience, Not Just Relief
Integrated somatic work is about building resilience. It empowers you to have the tools to be able to stay in your present moment and be regulated even when difficult emotions or sensations arise, which ultimately deepens the therapeutic process and relationship.
