Janine Morris

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a somatic, trauma-informed therapist based in Sebastopol, California. My work is somatic, and largely informed by Somatic Experiencing, a method for resolving trauma symptoms and nervous system regulation, and NARM, a somatic, depth-oriented model of working with developmental trauma. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy remotely and in person in partnership with Journey Clinical. Rather than trying to “fix” symptoms, I aim to collaborate with clients to understand what their nervous system has learned through overwhelm, loss, or past harm, and how those patterns may still be shaping their experience in the present. I work in a way that prioritizes safety, pacing, and choice, supporting you in building greater capacity for connection, agency, and aliveness over time. My practice is explicitly health-at-every-size, sex-positive, gender-affirming, neurodivergence-affirming, and kink-aware. I specialize in working with folks from fat, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, and ethically non-monogamous communities, and with people navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, body image, identity exploration, life transitions, and relational patterns.
