Jane Thibodeau, Somatic Psychotherapist (she/her)

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have specialized training in some of the most highly regarded, evidence-based approaches to understanding and resolving relational issues. My work with couples focuses on identifying, unpacking and working through the complex patterns that develop between partners.

Some people say that unresolved attachment issues are at the root of most of our relational issues - and I would have to agree. Underneath fights with your partner is a desire to feel safe and secure in your relationship. Fights happen because we don't feel safe and connected. I use proven interventions based on the science of attachment theory to help clients identify and express their important feelings and needs, leading to less conflict and greater connection with others.

I have attended numerous trainings on leading edge techniques to manage and mitigate anxiety. Together, we'll work to address what's going on in your brain when you feel anxious and how to get in touch with other parts of your brain to find relief. Using mindfulness and body-based interventions, we'll train your nervous system to spend less time in the anxious, fight-or-flight response, and more time in the rest-and-digest zone that allows us to be present, open and connected with others.

Some people say that unresolved attachment issues are at the root of most of our relational issues. Underneath fights with your partner and unsatisfying dating relationships is a desire to feel safe and secure in your relationship. Fights happen because we don't feel safe and connected. Using attachment-based approaches, I help clients identify, own and express important feelings, needs, and desires, leading to greater connection with themselves and others.

Together, we'll work to understand what's going on in your body when you feel anxious and learn how to respond effectively to find relief. Using mindfulness and body-based interventions, we'll increase your awareness of body cues, expand your ability to tolerate distress, help your nervous system return to a place of better balance.

I use a highly experiential approach to therapy. This means I believe that simply thinking or talking about a problem is not enough to create real change. In order for change to occur, we need to go deeper, beyond the thinking mind. Research shows that having a felt experience opens up pathways to new ways of thinking and being. This means we will be working toward having new, felt sense experiences to help you move beyond stuck patterns and ineffective coping strategies and toward real change.

As a yoga and mindfulness instructor, I have an immense amount of experience and tools to share with clients. I offer a wide range of proven grounding, integrating and mindfulness practices to help clients manage anxiety, process emotions, and connect with their patners. I have training in and use a somatic (body-based) approach when appropriate, helping clients explore how various bodily sensations are linked to their emotional experience.

Working with thoughts and emotions through the body is transformative. Using a science-based approach, I help clients explore how various bodily sensations are linked to their emotional experience. This method can help us identify and heal old wounds, increase awareness of needs and desires, and provide greater insight around how we relate to ourselves, others, and our environment.
