Soma Psychotherapy

East Cobb

Trauma-informed, affirming psychotherapy for adults, young adults, teens, the LGBTQ+ community, and parents navigating their child's mental health.

 About the Practice: A grounded, affirming space for real healing

Soma Therapy East Cobb is a two-therapist psychotherapy practice rooted in clinical depth, body-centered care, and an unapologetically inclusive approach to mental health. We believe healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, not managed, not fixed, but truly met.

Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, or the weight of watching your child struggle, we offer something different. No judgment. No cookie-cutter treatment plans. Just real, skilled support tailored to who you actually are.

We serve clients in-person in Marietta and via telehealth across the state of Georgia.

🌿 Trauma-Informed

Every approach we use is grounded in an understanding of how trauma lives in the body and shapes the nervous system.

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ Affirming

Inclusive, identity-affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients at every stage of their journey. You won't have to explain yourself here.

💻 In-Person & Telehealth

Located in Marietta, Georgia, with secure video sessions available for clients anywhere in the state.

🤝 Shame-Free by Design

No toxic positivity. No spiritual bypass. Just honest, direct support that meets you exactly as you are.

Our Therapists

The people in your corner

We're two clinicians with different backgrounds and complementary approaches united by a shared commitment to doing this work with honesty, warmth, and genuine skill.

Rachel brings over 25 years of experience across clinical social work, somatic practice, and movement. Her approach is direct, shame-free, and rooted in nervous system science — helping clients move through trauma and stress not just by talking about it, but by working through it in the body. She also specializes in supporting parents who are navigating the weight of a child's mental health struggles, helping them find steadiness, skills, and a way forward.

What We Offer

Every person who walks through our door — or logs on — deserves support that actually fits. Here's how we can help.

CBT & DBT

DBT/CBT gives you real, concrete skills for when your emotions feel like they're running the show — not to suppress them, but to stop letting them wreck your life. Think of it as the instruction manual your nervous system never came with.

Somatic & Body-Based Therapy

Talk therapy can only take you so far — because trauma doesn't live in your thoughts, it lives in your body. Somatic therapy gets underneath the narrative and works directly with your nervous system to release what's been held there, so you can finally stop managing your symptoms and start actually healing.

Brain Spotting

Brainspotting goes where words can't — straight into the body's stored trauma, without requiring you to relive or retell your story. It's one of the most efficient, nervous-system-level tools we use to help you actually move through what's been stuck.

Mindfulness-Based

Therapy

Integrating mindfulness into treatment to help clients develop awareness, regulate emotions, and build a more grounded relationship with themselves.

Teen & Adolescent

Therapy

A space where young people can be honest and fully themselves — without judgment. We specialize in the unique pressures teens face today.

LGBTQ+ Affirming

Therapy

Inclusive, identity-affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients at any stage of their journey. You won't have to explain yourself here.

Anxiety & Trauma

Whether you're navigating chronic anxiety, past trauma, or ongoing stress we use approaches that go beyond coping strategies.

Support for Parents

Parenting a child with anxiety, trauma, or mental health challenges is its own kind of hard. Rachel works with parents to process the stress and build skills.

Telehealth Sessions

Secure, flexible video sessions for clients across Georgia. Same quality of care, same depth from wherever you are.

Sport and Exercise Therapy

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or simply someone who moves to manage your mind, sport and exercise psychology can help you build mental resilience, overcome performance blocks, and deepen your relationship with movement — shame-free.

We’ll work together to support not just how you perform, but how you feel.

Women’s Issues

Women carry a lot — and too often, in silence. Through a shame-free, women-centered lens, we’ll work through the experiences, pressures, and transitions that shape your mental health, so you can come back to yourself.

Expert Witness Testimony

When the legal system needs a clear, credible psychological perspective, we provide expert witness testimony grounded in clinical expertise and delivered with integrity.

We translate complex mental health findings into language that informs, clarifies, and holds up.
