Reconnect with Your Body’s Wisdom. Heal with Compassion, Safety, and Somatic Support.


Get Started

What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)?

Somatic Experiencing therapy (SE) is a body focused trauma therapy created by Dr. Peter Levine. Many of the trauma-based therapies fail to connect the mind to the body to re-negotiate trauma memories. The body and mind are inevitably connected. Somatic Experiencing is an approach to treating individuals affected by trauma. It is a very gentle and powerful therapeutic intervention for persons of all ages affected by trauma. SE is also a very helpful intervention for individuals suffering from chronic pain and chronic health conditions.

Who Am I?

Grace Ballard MSW, LCSW, SEP

Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe every person carries the innate capacity to heal. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified Somatic

Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I provide trauma informed, body centered therapy that helps individuals reconnect with their inner resilience, restore balance, and move

forward with greater clarity and confidence.


My own experience with chronic pain and illness led me to specialize in mind/body approaches, particularly Somatic Experiencing (SE). SE, developed by Dr. Peter

Levine, is a gentle yet powerful trauma therapy that supports the nervous system in releasing stored stress and renegotiating trauma. It is highly effective for PTSD,

complex trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, and chronic health conditions.

Learn more at: somaticexperiencing.com or traumahealing.org.

In addition to SE, I am trained in iRest Yoga Nidra, a research-based meditation practice developed by Dr. Richard Miller. iRest helps reduce symptoms of PTSD,

anxiety, chronic pain, and stress, offering deep relaxation and a grounded sense of inner safety.

Learn more at: irest.org.

I work with adults and couples, using an integrative approach that blends somatic therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based practices. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with:

 Depression and anxiety

 PTSD and complex PTSD

 Developmental, childhood, and relational trauma

 Chronic pain and chronic illness

 Stress, overwhelm, and life transitions

Whether you’re navigating trauma, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply longing for more peace and stability, you don’t have to walk this path alone. I would be honored to support you as you reconnect with your body’s wisdom, reclaim your strength, and rediscover a sense of wholeness.

TraumaInformed Psychotherapy

I offer a compassionate, collaborative space for individuals working through:

* PTSD and complex PTSD

* Developmental, childhood, and relational trauma

* Depression and anxiety


* Chronic pain and chronic illness

* Stress, overwhelm, and major life transitions

Together, we explore your experiences at a pace that feels safe, integrating mindbody

awareness, nervous system education, and evidencebased therapeutic tools.


Mind-body Therapy for Chronic Pain & Illness

Chronic pain and long-term health conditions can leave you feeling disconnected,

discouraged, or misunderstood. Using somatic therapy, mindfulness, and nervous

system regulation, we work to reduce pain related stress, increase body trust, and

support your overall wellbeing.


Couples Therapy

I support couples in strengthening communication, deepening emotional connection,

and healing relational wounds. Sessions focus on safety, attunement, and

understanding the nervous system patterns that shape how partners relate to one

another.


A Collaborative, Compassionate Approach

My work is grounded in the belief that healing is already within you. Therapy becomes a

space where you can reconnect with your inner strength, explore new possibilities, and

move toward a life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and whole.
