Somatic Therapy For High-Achieving Black Women in NYC
I’m Blessing Uchendu, a Black woman somatic therapist and speaker based in New York City.
Maybe you’ve tried therapy in the past and now you understand the “why” behind your behavior, but you still struggle to make lasting change. If so, body-based therapies might be for you.
In addition to talking, I use somatic therapies (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing) to help you bridge the mind/body divide to connect with your body’s innate wisdom and change entrenched patterns.
