Ilene Blaisch is a compassionate clinical social worker and therapist with over 40 years of experience in diverse social service settings and private practice. She believes that individuals possess remarkable resilience and an inherent capacity to heal from trauma and stress. However, these stressors can accumulate over time, impacting well-being and manifesting in various symptoms such as depression, anxiety, relationship tension, or health conditions. Ilene welcomes clients to discuss their unique needs and explores how her approach may best support them. Recently, she has further enriched her practice with advanced training in Somatic Experiencing and NeuroAffective Touch. This integrative approach enhances somatic awareness and reconnects physical sensations with cognitive interpretations of current circumstances. Ilene's holistic perspective allows traditional talk therapy to expand into an experiential realm, incorporating awareness of the body, movement, and, when suitable, touch. Through her guidance, clients gain valuable insights and tools that help alleviate emotional and relational conflicts often rooted in physical experiences.
