I’m Simone Adkins, a somatic trauma therapist serving women in Benicia, Vallejo, and online in the surrounding Bay Area and California.
I help women heal from the deep impact of relationship trauma, which often starts in childhood and influence how we relate to ourselves and others later in life. Those first relationships set unconscious patterns that show up in friendships, romantic partners, and even at work.
In our work together, prioritize healing your most important relationship of all — the one with yourself. Through a somatic therapy approach, we move at your pace to restore self-trust and self-worth, creating a foundation for healthier, more fulfilling relationships in every area of your life.
