core energetics - body psychotherapy
J. Sema Bruno, PhD, MFT, A-CCEP
Individual or Couple Sessions
My approach to working with clients is an interactive one aimed at helping individuals and couples overcome blocks to a sense of satisfaction in life and relationships. My approach does not avoid the hurdles but supports clients and couples in learning to navigate and grow through conflict and challenges.
Research
I’ve had a passion for research and writing since I was a child, and I enjoy delving into new fields of research and following the results of my research with clients into uncharted territories of psychosocial development.

Group Sessions
Group therapy acts as an incredible and often accelerated mechanism for change. Group members support and challenge one another within the safety of a therapeutic container focused on developing emotional security with the self and others. For those of us who find that being in a relationship with another is often what triggers our defenses, reactions, or vulnerabilities, group therapy offers a way to move through these challenges with guidance and support. Space is limited, and groups tend to form bonds, meaning membership can last years. Shorter term group series are at times available. If you are interested in joining a group, please reach out to see if any running groups are accepting new members. Virtual and in-person options are available.
