About

Hello, I’m Dr. Julia Kaplinska. I am a somatic psychologist, trauma-expert, and intuition guide. I’m also trained as a yoga teacher. My practice is science-supported and soul-centered. I specialize in working with:

  • Survivors of trauma coping with PTSD and Complex-PTSD

  • Therapists, healers and health service providers-or those who are in training to become one

  • Deep feelers, highly sensitive people, seekers and artists

Therapy at Embodied Way helps you restore a sense of safety, regulate your nervous system, and deepen self-trust

If you’re struggling with the weight of past trauma—whether from childhood, relationships, or overwhelming experiences— professional burnout, ongoing anxiety, or a sense of disconnection from yourself, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode — overwhelmed by stress, emotions, or physical symptoms that just won’t resolve. At Embodied Way I provide trauma-informed, somatic therapy to help you find steadiness, relief, and lasting healing. I offer integrative methods that help you:

  • calm your nervous system

  • develop new skills

  • update old entrenched patterns

  • find presence, wholeness and vitality

  • improve relationships

  • sharpen intuition

  • increase clarity & access to your inner compass

I integrate cutting edge therapeutic methods: Somatic Experiencing®, AEDP, focusing and attachment-based therapy to help you move from overwhelm to regulation, from disconnection to connection.
Grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, yoga, and depth psychology, our work restores safety, resilience, and aliveness.

While my work is grounded in the best of psychological research and evidence-based methods, it is also deeply human, embodied, and soul-centered. Healing isn’t just about reducing symptoms — it’s about restoring trust in yourself, reconnecting with your intuition, and creating an inner refuge where body, mind, and spirit can thrive together.

Are you ready for deeper healing that takes you toward vitality, satisfying connection with others and alignment with your purpose?

We focus on:

  • Step-by-step gentle and paced support to reconnect with body, mind and relationships

  • Depth-oriented exploration: archetypal, existential, and transpersonal framework

  • Therapy for the therapist - skilled support and consultation for helpers and healers

What makes us different?

  • Therapy provided by PhD-level clinician, because breadth of training and years of experience do matter.

  • Therapeutic path that takes you beyond symptom reduction and toward embodying aliveness and purpose.

  • Rigor and depth: therapy which is both science-supported and soul-centered

  • Integrative space: a container in which all parts of you are honored—mind, body, heart and spirit—and experiences are integrated. If you’ve done therapy before and/or tried self-led practices we will help you bring it all together— so that you translate insight into action, skills into lasting transformation and knowledge into embodied change.
