Somatic Trauma Therapy for Adults
Online across New Mexico & Colorado
Helping empaths, deep-feelers, & sensitive souls heal from burnout, tend to grief, & calm anxiety.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You have the job, the relationship, and the life that looks put-together on the outside.
What people don’t see?
the inner chaos of an anxious & overwhelmed nervous system
the chronic burnout
the sense of disconnection, just going through the motions every day
The intellectual part of you says: This shouldn’t be so hard. I should be able to figure this out.
As a deep-feeling, sensitive soul, you feel fundamentally different from everyone else.
You wonder if you’re too sensitive.
You tell yourself you should toughen up and get over it.
Life has become a cycle of feeling too much, feeling like you’re “too much,” and then going numb.
You are exhausted from holding everything together.
(And it probably doesn’t help that you absorb others’ emotions like a sponge… making it hard to separate what’s yours and what’s theirs.)
The exhaustion doesn’t go away, even when you rest.
Rest comes with guilt— the sense that you should be doing something else, helping someone, fixing something.
The truth is: you are deeply aware of the suffering in this world… and feel paralyzed because you don’t know what to do about it.
No action feels like enough. You tell yourself you should be doing more, more, more… and then the compassion fatigue sets in.
People around you don’t seem to care as much as you do, or share your same values.
You’re most comfortable in a caregiver role... and tend to neglect your own needs.
You rarely ask for help, because you don’t want to seem like a “burden.”
But holding it all in, telling everyone “I’m fine!” when you’re not… isn’t working for you anymore. (And if you’re being honest, it never did.)
It is no wonder that you’re burnt out.
DEAR SENSITIVE, EXHAUSTED HUMANS…
I’m so glad you’re here.
IF YOU ARE READY TO:
→ stop the cycles of overwhelm + reactivity (and remember that you are not a horrible person just because you can’t save the entire world)
→ ride the waves of life without burning out every few months
→ tend to the grief + anxiety that’s been building up inside your nervous system
→ feel more grounded + connected to yourself
→ establish relationships that feel reciprocal + healthy, instead of one-sided
→ dive deep into your healing, picking up where previous talk therapy left off – but going deeper this time
YOU ARE IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT PLACE.
Hi, I’m Chelsea Stockert — a somatic therapist supporting empathic, sensitive adults across New Mexico & Colorado.
Specialties: Burnout | Complex Trauma | Anxiety | Grief & Loss (Human & Animal)
MSW, LCSW | (she/her)
Fellow empaths, deep-feelers, caregivers, and helpers… welcome.
You’re already good at understanding your experiences intellectually. I’m here to help you connect mind & body, so you can experience deep healing in the nervous system.
I get how exhausting it is to feel everything around you, all the time.
My goal is not to make you “less sensitive,” because there’s nothing wrong with having a responsive nervous system. My goal is to help you move through experiences of overwhelm, anxiety, and grief in a healthy way, instead of being consumed by them.
I’m a human, navigating the same world you’re navigating. Though I can’t switch off the suffering in the world, what I can do is help you hold it.
Many clients connect with me over our shared experiences and values – as highly sensitive empaths, caregivers, activists, and socially conscious humans.
As a liberation-focused therapist, I see all oppression as interconnected. I care deeply about human, animal, and environmental rights. The world can be a cruel and challenging place, and I’m here to make it softer and safer for whoever I can.
When we work together in therapy, our relationship comes first.
Healing can’t take place until you and your nervous system feel safe with me – so we don’t rush into anything. Instead, we move at a safe pace, listening to the body’s needs. You set the pace.
This creates the foundation (and connection) for the deep work that I know you are here to do.
You’ve been taking care of everyone else. Let’s make sure you’re taking care of you, too.

THERAPY INTENSIVES
In a therapy intensive, we’ll meet for extended sessions (2-3 hours) across 1-3 days. This concentrated approach is helpful for folks who want to go deep in a short period of time & accelerate progress.
If you’ve tried traditional weekly therapy & still feel stuck, intensives might offer the structured & prolonged space for processing that you need. Intensives may be scheduled on a one-off or ongoing basis (like 1x per month).

IFS THERAPY (INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS / PARTS WORK)
In IFS therapy, we bring curiosity to each part of you — the inner critic, the judge, the perfectionist, and parts carrying grief, pain, & shame. We don’t treat any parts as problems. Instead, I’ll help you build relationships with your parts. From this place of connection, healing can naturally unfold within the nervous system.

EMDR THERAPY
In EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy, we use bilateral stimulation (like eye movements, tapping, and auditory cues) to help the brain reprocess memories that feel “stuck” or overwhelming. The goal is not to relive the past, but to help the nervous system untangle & integrate what it wasn’t able to process at the time.

BRAINSPOTTING THERAPY
In Brainspotting, we’ll find specific eye positions that connect you to unprocessed material in the brain. This powerful yet gentle approach allows us to bypass the “talking” part of the brain & work directly with the nervous system. Through Brainspotting, many clients experience profound mind-body healing – without anything needing to be forced or explained.

SOMATIC TRAUMA THERAPY
In somatic therapy, we don’t just pay attention to thoughts — we also listen to the body. We’ll focus on expanding your “window of capacity,” so that you can stay present with emotions & sensations without becoming overwhelmed. Through somatic therapy, clients often develop a deeper trust in their bodies and a greater capacity to move through the world.
We’re likely a great fit if…
-
Whether you care for humans, animals, or both, this is a space where you get to take off your “helper” hat & receive care for yourself.
-
Whether you are an activist, advocate, or simply a human who cares deeply about others: I see you.
As a liberation-focused therapist, my work is based on the values of collective care, compassion, and justice.
-
It is not easy to be a human in these times. I’ll meet you as a fellow human, helping you hold your experience, without trying to fix what cannot be fixed.
In a world with so much grief & suffering, I am here to remind you that your feelings make sense, and your healing matters.
Clients tend to find me when they’re ready to do deep work.
Sessions with me feel different than traditional talk therapy.
As a depth-oriented therapist, I help you experience embodied healing.
This means you won’t just cognitively understand your patterns + problems. You’ll also feel more attuned + connected to your body… and the healing that it is wired to do.
I provide therapy virtually across Colorado & New Mexico. We’ll meet online via video call.
This allows you to experience healing from the comfort of your own home, without the stress of a commute.
Many clients feel safer to dive deep and go inward, when they’re in their own cozy space. Your pets are welcome!
The more we heal ourselves, the more healing we integrate into the world.
YOU MATTER.
LET’S FIND A WAY TO BRING JOY + CAPACITY BACK INTO YOUR LIFE.
