Yvonne Tejeda

Hi, I’m Yvonne. As a therapist with over 20 years of professional experience and practice, I love the work I do everyday, supporting people at all levels of life, to find their own unique way of becoming who they’re meant to be at a deeper level. I believe we are spiritual beings on a human path. We all need at some point in our lives a guide to navigate our way, whether it’s for a short walk or a longer journey. I am honored to be a guide and witness supporting along the way.

I am trained in psychotherapy modalities of depth psychology and CBT, as well as Somatic psychotherapy and Somatic Touch Therapy to regulate the body from an overactive autonomic nervous system, finding more calm and connection with the body. With my certification in Hatha Yoga and love for dance, I incorporate body movement to bring back resonance and regulation, reducing traumatic stress held in the emotional and physical body. It’s about learning to have a substantial relationship with the mind and body, integrating both for a sense of harmony and connection for an authentic Self waiting to be discovered.

Clients can expect to learn somatic skills for connection with the body, an internal knowing that there is something greater than the limited mind by developing a tolerance to stay in a trauma state nervous system, eventually building an internal capacity for containment and resilience. It’s not uncommon to hear patients say even after the first session, “I haven’t felt so connected to my body, even to others around me for such a long time. I feel like I’ve touched into something great inside me.”
