Shyma El Sayed, PsyD

The goal is to help you connect to the core of you, what I call your inner gold, by shedding layers of dissatisfaction, disbelief, stuckness, old wounds and anything else that no longer serves you. We start this process by understanding all parts of you across your lifetime and identify any happenings that still feel incomplete. We then explore how these happenings may show up in your present life and relationships. The idea is to cultivate awareness around these old patterns and to slow down enough to make conscious choices moving forward. All of this is done at an appropriate pace and comfort level tailored to individual needs. How we may get there could look differently for each person. Some common paths: release (through tears, screams, sounds, laughs, movement), invitations to come back to the breath again + again, gentle challenges, pausing to slow down + noticing the body as you share something sensitive, feeling held + supported, celebrating/being celebrated, connecting to your inner child, journaling, creating, having difficult conversations with people you love, understanding boundaries, and cultivating self-love...to name some gems.
