Janine Morris(She/Her/Hers)

Janine Morris is a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Sebastopol, California offering in-person sessions and telehealth sessions all over California. Janine’s focus with clients is on trauma (specifically early childhood trauma), body-image, feelings of shame and low self-worth, and mindful self-compassion.

Janine’s work helps clients to explore what gets in the way of loving themselves the way they want and living life as their most authentic self. Her work isn’t about just eradicating symptoms, but creating a deeper understanding of what drives the symptoms, and how folx have learned to adapt to trauma, overwhelm, and loss by creating strategies and patterns that might no longer serve them.

Janine’s approach is primarily informed somatic modalities such as Somatic Experiencing®, a somatic, psychobiological method developed by Peter Levine for resolving trauma symptoms in the body and helping to regulate the nervous system, and NARM (the NeuroAffective Relational Model), a somatic, neuroscientifically-informed, depth-oriented model aimed at addressing complex developmental trauma.

Janine works from a health-at-every-size, sex-positive, and gender affirming perspective and strives to offer a safe and accepting space that makes somatic work accessible to all bodies. Janine’s practice centers folx in bigger bodies, folx with disabilities, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA, queer, trans, gender non-conforming, neurodivergent, ethically non-monogamous and kinky communities. Janine works with individuals, dyads, triads, families, and polycules.
