Shelizbet Aguirre

Stress, trauma, or burnout—sometimes it all collides at once. I’ve been there, and I’ve built my career helping others come out on the other side. As a Stress and Trauma Specialist and founder of Journey Forward - Somatic Therapy, I lead a team of exceptional therapists who share one mission: helping people feel safe, calm, and whole again. In my work, I blend somatic and cognitive approaches to help you move beyond survival mode. Together, we’ll build a personalized toolkit of body-based skills to regulate your nervous system, reduce reactivity, and increase capacity for real-life stress. But we don’t stop there—our work goes deep.

Our approach integrates Somatic CBT, EMDR, breath-work, progressive relaxation, and mindfulness to help you reprocess trauma and restore safety—often in 6–12 sessions or less. Each session is designed to help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and self-control, so you can face life’s stressors without losing yourself. My team brings this same energy!

As Clinical Director, I’ll be your co-pilot as we move forward—freer of fear, resentment, and exhaustion, and more anchored in safety and possibility. Bienvenidos. I’m honored to lead a group of clinicians devoted to nervous system regulation, burnout recovery, and emotional resilience. Book a consult now, don't wait. I'm confident you'll find relief fast.
