Gaia Somasca Psychotherapy in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley offers trauma therapy, anxiety support, and narcissistic abuse recovery for adults seeking to move beyond survival into a more embodied life. Services use a warm, holistic, relational approach, available both in-person and online across California statewide.
-- Trauma and anxiety therapy that integrates somatic and depth-oriented approaches is now available to adults throughout California through Gaia Somasca Psychotherapy. Gaia Somasca, MA, LMFT #152023, (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) based in Scotts Valley, CA, offers a depth-oriented, holistic approach to healing trauma and anxiety, one that honors the full complexity of each person's lived experience, culture, and inner world. Because trauma and anxiety are deeply interconnected, often rooted in the same experiences of overwhelm and disruption, Gaia's integrative approach addresses both at their source rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Sessions are available online to clients anywhere in California, as well as in person in the Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley area, making it possible for more adults and young adults to access this warm, non-judgmental space where healing feels not only possible, but genuinely transformative.
Trauma and anxiety therapy at Gaia Somasca Psychotherapy is designed for adults who are ready to engage in meaningful and transformative work. Whether meeting online or in person, Gaia's approach draws from a rich tapestry of evidence-based and depth-oriented modalities, including Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy approaches (Focusing and Polyvagal Theory), Jungian psychology and dreamwork, ecotherapy, and attachment-based work, tailored to what each individual needs most. Ecotherapy sessions held outdoors offer a unique pathway to healing for clients who feel called to reconnect with the natural world as part of their therapeutic journey. No two healing journeys are the same, and every session is guided by the client's own pace and inner wisdom.
With an office located at 5271 Scotts Valley Dr., Suite 14, Scotts Valley, CA 95066, and a full online therapy practice serving clients across the state, Gaia Somasca Psychotherapy is accessible to adults and young adults in the greater Santa Cruz area and beyond. The practice supports those navigating the lasting effects of various forms of trauma, including childhood and complex developmental trauma, PTSD, anxiety, narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, sexual trauma, and the lasting effects of systemic oppression and discrimination. With her commitment to social justice, Gaia brings sensitivity to the experiences of immigrants and bicultural individuals, LGBTQ+ communities, women healing from relational harm, and healers or high achievers experiencing burnout. Her multicultural background, having grown up in Italy and lived in New York and California, informs a culturally attuned approach to every therapeutic relationship.
Recognized by peers as a gifted holistic therapist whose work weaves compassion with deep clinical knowledge in multiple disciplines, Gaia Somasca, LMFT draws on over a decade of clinical training and experience, including studies with leading trauma experts such as Richard Schwartz and Peter Levine, as well as specialized training in Brainspotting with founder David Grand and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery with Dr. Ramani Durvasula. She is also a certified practitioner in Ecopsychology through Holos Institute, which informs her ecotherapy practice. This breadth of training allows her to offer genuinely integrative care that reaches into the deeper roots of trauma and anxiety.
All new clients are invited to begin with a free 15-to-20 minute consultation by phone, a gentle first step into discovering whether the therapeutic relationship feels like the right fit. For those curious about the unique offerings of trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, narcissistic abuse recovery, or ecotherapy at this practice, including in-person and online therapy in the Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley area, Gaia welcomes the conversation.
