Susan Bump

My communication style

We move at a pace that honors your nervous system. I invite curiosity, not correction; exploration, not performance. My intention is to help you recognize your Core Self and feel safe enough to have feelings, to know what's true inside, and to trust your own rhythms and wisdom.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to somatic psychotherapy began as a personal journey of self-discovery and repair. I wanted to “fix” what felt broken in me, but over time, I realized healing isn't fixing—it's about coming home to your Core, with compassion and presence. That realization inspired me to help others rediscover their innate capacity for wholeness.

My goals for you

In somatic psychotherapy, goals go beyond just talking about what's happening- we work with how your experiences live in your body. The aim is to help you develop awareness of your physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system responses, so you can feel more grounded, connected, and in charge of your internal world.

Our first session

In our first session, my focus is on creating a safe, warm, and compassionate space for you. I will guide you to connect with your body, your sensations, and your emotions, noticing what's present without judgment. Together, we explore what brought you in, what patterns you've noticed in your life, and what feels most important to address.
