Some days, it can feel like we move from one thing to the next without ever really arriving where we are.

A conversation ends. Another task begins. We reach for our phones. Our minds are already moving toward what comes next.

So, for just a moment, pause here.

Inhale slowly.
Exhale fully.

Notice where you are. Notice what you’re carrying. Notice what your body might be asking for right now.

A single breath may not change everything, but it can offer a small moment of space within the day, a chance to reconnect with yourself before continuing forward. 🤍

EMDR offers a way to work with difficult experiences that goes beyond the purely cognitive processing we often associate with traditional talk therapy.

EMDR incorporates a somatic component while allowing clients to keep “one foot” in the safety of the present moment. From there, the brain can begin making connections with past experiences and processing what may have felt too much, too big, too fast, or too soon when it originally happened.

For some people, somatic work can feel challenging when it relies heavily on identifying or naming exactly what is happening within the body. EMDR can offer another way into this work without requiring perfect access to those internal sensations.

The goal isn’t to change what happened, but to create space for experiences that may still feel unresolved to be processed differently.

At Wellness Embodied, our therapists consider each client’s individual experiences, needs, and goals when exploring whether EMDR may be an appropriate part of therapy.

A reminder that support can take many different forms. 🤍

At Wellness Embodied, our services are designed to meet people in different places, with different needs, and at different points in their healing process.

From individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to low-cost therapy, community groups, workshops, and additional resources, there are a number of ways to find support within our practice.

And you don’t have to know exactly what kind of support you need before reaching out.

Our team can help you explore your options, learn more about our therapists and services, and find a starting point that feels right for you.

We also offer sliding scale options and accept several insurance plans as part of our commitment to making care more accessible.

If you’ve been considering therapy or are simply curious about what support at Wellness Embodied could look like, we’re here to help you take that first step. 🤍

Just a few moments from around Wellness Embodied 🤍

Good conversations, meaningful work, shared laughter, and a team we’re incredibly grateful for.

Transitions have a way of asking more from us than we sometimes realize.

We tend to expect difficult changes to feel difficult. A loss, an ending, an unexpected shift - it makes sense when those experiences leave us feeling unsettled.

But what about the changes we wanted?

A new job. A new relationship. A move you were excited about. Going back to school. Returning to a routine. Beginning a new chapter that you worked hard to reach.

Even positive change can ask our minds and bodies to adjust to something unfamiliar.

The routines, roles, relationships, expectations, and environments that once gave our days a sense of predictability may suddenly look different. And while we consciously know that something good is happening, another part of us may still be working to find its footing.

That can look like fatigue, irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep, or simply feeling more overwhelmed than you expected to feel.

And sometimes, it can mean holding seemingly contradictory emotions at the same time - excitement and grief, certainty and fear, gratitude and discomfort.

One doesn’t make the other less real.

If you’re moving through a transition right now, you don’t have to rush yourself toward feeling “settled.” Adjustment takes time. Sometimes the more helpful question isn’t “Why am I having such a hard time with this?” But “What am I being asked to adjust to right now?”

A little curiosity can create much more room for ourselves than judgment ever will. 🤍

Meet Carolina Pinheiro, our newest Psychotherapist in Training at Wellness Embodied. 💛

Carolina is currently pursuing a dual MSW/PhD in Social Work at the University at Albany and is now welcoming new clients at a reduced fee of $65 per session.

At the heart of Carolina’s work is a philosophy she calls Creative Listening - an approach rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that being deeply heard can help us understand ourselves and our stories in new ways.

Inspired by narrative approaches to psychotherapy, Carolina sees therapy as a collaborative space where clients can explore the stories that have shaped their lives while making room for new perspectives, possibilities, and ways of moving forward.

Carolina works with clients in both English and Portuguese and also brings a background in Reiki and yoga, along with more than two decades of experience exploring the role of listening, connection, and relationship across her academic and professional work.

We’re so excited to have Carolina joining the Wellness Embodied team and beginning to work with clients. 💛

Carolina is currently accepting new clients at $65/session. Visit our website to learn more or get started.

A therapy space holds more than what you can see. 🤍

Of course, there are the things that make Wellness Embodied feel like home to us - plants growing toward the windows, shelves full of books, artwork, comfortable corners, and rooms we’ve thoughtfully shaped over time.

But what makes this space meaningful is everything that happens within it.

It’s a place where people come to talk about things they may not have said out loud before. Where difficult experiences can be explored without having to rush toward an answer. Where there can be laughter in the middle of something heavy, quiet when words aren’t quite there yet, and space to begin understanding ourselves in new ways.

Creating that kind of environment has always been an important part of Wellness Embodied.

We want the people who walk through our doors to feel that there is room here for the full complexity of being human - for whatever feels difficult, uncertain, hopeful, messy, changing, or still unfolding.

The physical space is only one piece of that, but it’s one we care deeply about.

And we’re grateful every day for the people who trust us enough to share this space with us. 🤍

If you’ve been looking for a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and explore whatever you may be carrying, we’re here when you’re ready.

Wellness Embodied offers psychotherapy and integrative mental health support in New Paltz and virtually throughout New York State. Our team works with children, teens, adults, couples, and elders, with care shaped around each person and where they are in their process.

You don’t have to solve everything in this moment.

Sometimes our minds move ahead of us - replaying what already happened, anticipating what might happen next, or trying to find answers we simply don’t have yet.

For just a moment, come back to what’s here.

Inhale slowly.
Exhale fully.

You don’t need to figure out the rest of the day right now. Just notice this breath, this moment, and where you are within it.

Sometimes presence begins that simply. 🤍

Just a few moments from around Wellness Embodied lately. 🤍

When we share about the work happening here, we often talk about therapy, healing, nervous system regulation, relationships, trauma, and the many different ways we support the people who come through our doors.

But a space like Wellness Embodied is also shaped by all of the smaller moments happening in between.

The conversations between sessions. The laughter coming from another room. A few quiet minutes outside. Checking in with one another on a busy day. Celebrating something together. Sharing ideas, learning from each other, and continuing to grow both individually and as a team.

Those moments may seem separate from the work, but we don’t really think they are.

The environments we spend our time in matter. The relationships we build within them matter. And when your work asks you to be deeply present with other people - to listen, hold space, stay curious, and sit alongside experiences that can be complicated, painful, joyful, or all of those things at once - having a community around you matters too.

We talk often about the importance of connection in healing, and that’s something we want to cultivate within our own space as well.

Not every meaningful moment here happens inside a therapy room. Sometimes it looks like a thoughtful conversation between colleagues. Sometimes it’s gathering together as a team. Sometimes it’s laughter in the middle of an ordinary workday.

So, a little glimpse at some of those moments lately - the people, conversations, connection, and everyday pieces of life that continue to shape Wellness Embodied.

We’re very grateful for all of it. 🤍

Meet a few of the therapists on our EMDR team. 🌿

Doree, Kaden, and David each bring their own training, experience, and approach to EMDR - from Attachment Focused EMDR and somatic work to integrating EMDR alongside more traditional talk therapy.

Because while EMDR is a specific therapeutic approach, the way it becomes part of your therapy doesn’t have to look exactly the same for everyone.

At Wellness Embodied, our therapists bring their own perspectives and areas of expertise to the work while considering what feels appropriate for each individual client.

If you’re curious about EMDR or wondering whether it may be something you’d like to explore in therapy, we’d be happy to help you learn more about our team and find the right fit.
