Vera Gassner

Vera Gassner is a compassionate marriage and family therapist (MFT) who specializes in recovery from toxic relationships, healing trauma, and empowerment. With a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology focused on Transpersonal studies, her approach is deeply rooted in supporting clients in utilizing their spirituality for healing. Since she intuitively began exploring somatic approaches to healing in 2002 and subsequently became a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in 2010, Vera integrates a variety of methods into her practice. Her background in Communication Design enables her to creatively use art activities to help clients lower anxiety, improve awareness, and release accumulated stress. As an immigrant from Poland, Vera has a unique understanding of diversity, which enriches her work with clients from various backgrounds. Incorporating her training in the Enneagram, Jungian Psychology, and Coherence Therapy (DOBT), she teaches clients tools to enhance somatic awareness, encouraging them to renegotiate and heal trauma rather than re-living it. In today's world, as many seek new ways to navigate the aftermath of COVID-19 trauma, Vera invites individuals to explore their physical, emotional, and spiritual yearnings. With her guidance, clients learn to listen to their bodies' messages, paving the way for healing and a more empowered future. May you find your guide in Vera!
