Therapy for when you’re ready to

Esti Schonbrun LCSW-C
Therapist for Betrayal Trauma IFS and Somatic Therapy in Bethesda MD
Your story matters, and so does the way it lives in your body. At MindEmbodied, therapy is an invitation to return to yourself.
I work with adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or disconnection; often shaped by trauma, painful relationships, or the pressure to keep it all together. If you’re longing to feel more like yourself, to come home to your body, to your truth, and to your clarity you’re in the right place.
My approach is gentle, relational, and body-based. We’ll explore the patterns your nervous system has learned over time, and how those patterns may be keeping you in survival mode even when what you long for is calm, clarity, and connection.
This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about honoring the deep intelligence of your system and creating space for something new to emerge: a sense of safety, presence, and freedom in your body and your life.
Through somatic practices from IFS (Internal Family Systems), SE (Somatic Experiencing), and NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), we’ll follow the thread of what’s real and alive in you beyond the pain, beyond the protective layers, and support your system in integrating what it’s been holding for far too long.
Healing is possible. Not by pushing harder, but by softening into what’s already here. Learn More >
