Soma Therapy East Cobb Marietta, Georgia

Trauma-informed, affirming psychotherapy for teens, young adults, 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.

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 β€” 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.
