What we’re about
At the heart of Embodied Psychotherapy is the belief that healing isn't just about feeling better, it's about becoming more whole, more alive, and more connected to yourself and others. I’m Patricia Dalen, a licensed psychotherapist and Certified Core Energetics Practitioner with over a decade of experience integrating somatic psychotherapy, expressive movement, psychodrama, and experiential techniques into deep, relational work.
My work weaves together Core Energetics, expressive movement, psychodrama, action methods, and parts-based approaches to support clients in transforming chronic shame, self-criticism, and disconnection. I specialize in creating safe, dynamic spaces where people can drop below their habitual narratives and explore what's waiting to be felt, expressed, and reclaimed.
As an event organizer, I offer experiential workshops that center around embodied transformation, whether we're working with shame, relationship dynamics, or reclaiming vitality and voice. These events are rooted in the belief that our bodies carry wisdom, our defenses deserve compassion, and our longing for love and meaning is a map, not a flaw.
Expect depth, movement, honesty, and a touch of play. Events range from intimate group workshops to immersive community experiences, all grounded in the principles of self-inquiry, somatic presence, and energetic integration.
If you're looking for spaces that honor your wholeness and support your becoming, I’d love to have you join us.
