Brandon Steele

Over the past 15 years, I have been steeped in Somatic modalities aimed at healing the mind-body connection. Beginning with an interest in meditation, I followed the thread through studies in yoga therapy, yoga nidra, shamanic practices/nature ritual, trauma-release exercises, grief process co-facilitation, to deciding to complete my Masters in Somatic Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. I am trained in the Attachment Based Family Therapy model (ABFT), and have worked with hundreds of clients struggling in their relationships. My professional career has focused on the treatment of teens, young adults, and parents in both individual and family treatment units. I love connecting with people and listening through to their longing for healing. I have a knack for holding multiple perspectives within complex relationships, and collaborating to resolve blockages that impede connection.

To feel at home in yourself, with loved ones, and in this world, you need to find ways to settle your emotions and relax in your body. I work in practical body-based psychotherapy approaches in combination with tools like EMDR to help resolve unprocessed traumatic material that has been keeping you on edge. We will work with your early childhood experiences and the trauma you’ve experienced in your life to help you feel at home in your body, thoughts, and feelings, while recovering your strengths and capacities innate to human wholeness. It’s important to take a look at your own intergenerational relationship patterns that have been handed down to see what’s working and what needs some updating.

Clients can expect to feel a sense of having a true ally on the path to greater human wholeness. Clients get the sense that their life circumstances are workable, and there is genuine capacity for change, for relating with themselves in a warmer, more compassionate way. Brandon is a deep listener and sensitive to the unfolding healing journey of the client. Clients feel that there are actionable steps toward what they long for most in their lives, and that they have someone in their corner to support them toward their goals.
