Welcome to the connective world of Embodied Psychotherapy with Olivia Fae Stadler, offering a platform of growth and healing based in sunny California. The practice operates from a position of mindful respect, acknowledging your personal journey and individual needs. The goal is not just traditional "talk" based counseling but venturing into transformative experiences beyond mere cognitive comprehension. A unique therapeutic strategy combines an active, engaging style that is at once collaborative, curious, and challenging when necessary. Stemming from Olivia's personal identification as a highly-sensitive person with gifted intelligence, this enhanced approach grounds itself in somatic and transpersonal theories, supplemented by psychodynamic counseling methods.

Olivia Stadler is certified in the Hakomi method of experiential psychotherapy and adeptly integrates a range of modalities including Drama therapy, Gestalt, IFS, AEDP, Polyvagal theory, and the Adult Attachment Repair Model. This allows for a therapy style uniquely adaptable to your individual requirements. The practice is known for its comprehensive understanding of the somatic phenomena termed as "felt sense". This unique concept, defined by Eugene Gendlin, examines the intersection of physical reactions with emotional and cognitive responses to internal and external events, paving the path to discern the meaning of our internal world. Olivia's office in the peaceful Pacific Grove area on the Monterey Peninsula warmly welcomes clients from Monterey, Carmel, Salinas, Carmel Highlands, Pebble Beach, Seaside, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, Big Sur, and Sand City. Taking cognizance of remote needs, her practice offers video therapy sessions for clients within California or internationally.
