Laina Pauker

Hi there, I'm Laina!

I specialized in somatics and provided individual and group therapy in different community-based settings since 2018. My priority in therapy is building on your strengths. I hope to support you to be authentic, connect with your communities, and access your creativity.

My focus

My clients have diverse experiences and seek to make changes where they've felt stuck, while acknowledging systemic barriers. I often support folks in strengthening their self-awareness, confidence, and communication skills. I offer walk-and-talk sessions for those who feel more comfortable outdoors.

My approach

Therapy is personalized to reflect your unique needs, whether that’s processing an experience, strengthening social-emotional skills, or both. I’m passionate about somatics, a style of therapy that brings awareness to the nervous system, the automatic responses our bodies have to stress. This can be especially healing for those with trauma.
