I find talk therapy pretty tiresome and heady. It takes too long to get anywhere, and often by the time I hit something substantive, the session is over - and I've invested time and money into something that I'm not certain is yielding any results. This year, I was so lucky to find hakomi - a present moment, mindfulness based form of psychotherapy - and session after session was breakthrough after breakthrough for me! In my very first session, I was able to alchemize some recent trauma I had had with a bad confrontation with a police officer - and was able to turn it into something positive! Each session was some new revelation. I highly recommend Drea Fackler - she is intelligent, compassionate and holds brilliant space. I don't endorse people very often - so I mean it when I say I highly endorse this form of therapy with Drea as a way to get to the core of what's happening in your consciousness.

Drea’s work has empowered me to navigate situations both in session, and on my own. She speaks with so much compassion and also facilitates personal responsibility. She introduced me to talk therapy that includes somatic therapy. Somatic therapy has helped me make sense of my own feelings, both emotionally and physically. Our work gave me bodily intelligence to navigate my life. I can recognize what a yes or no feels like for me. These are answers no one else can give to you. I am more connected to self, and can recognize when I need to set a boundary, a skill we developed together. I am so grateful for her expertise and guidance!
