Decolonial Somatic Trauma Therapy in Sebastopol & Across California

Specialized weekly somatic psychotherapy for trauma activation, dissociation, chronic bracing, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation in cultural-historical context.

I work primarily with queer, trans, BIPOC, poly/ENM, kink/BDSM, and high-masking autistic/AuDHD adults in high-responsibility roles who are navigating being human in a colonial landscape of systemic oppression.

Some practice FAQ: I offer weekly therapy at a regular appointment time, $200 per 50-minute session. I a in-network only with Optum and can provide Superbills available for possible out-of-network reimbursement for other insurances.

Who this practice is for

This practice is for Queer, Trans, &/or BIPOC folx seeking weekly, long-term cultural somatic trauma therapy within an embodied-experiential & decolonial framework

It is often a good fit if you:

  • want a regular weekly appointment time

  • experience dissociation, shutdown, chronic bracing, burnout, or trauma activation

  • have done therapy before but still feel stuck

  • want depth-oriented cultural-liberatory somatic trauma work, not just coping skills

  • want therapy that does not pathologize neurodivergence, queerness, transness, polyamory, kink, culture, or race but places it within the global contexts of colonization & decolonization.

Many of my clients appear functional externally while internally living with chronic stress, masking, hypervigilance, or collapse.

Who this practice is not for

This practice is usually not a fit if you are looking for:

  • biweekly, drop-in, or as-needed therapy

  • variable scheduling from week to week

  • short-term or solution-focused treatment

  • in-network insurance other than Optum

  • crisis support between sessions

  • a higher level of care than weekly outpatient psychotherapy

How I work

I’m Setareh Azar Jinn, LMFT and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

My work is somatic, relational, depth-oriented, and clinically precise. We work gradually with sensation, emotion, impulse, attachment, boundaries, and survival responses.

I carefully differentiate trauma physiology from autism, ADHD, OCD, chronic pain, and identity-based stress so treatment is aligned rather than stigmatizing.

Why weekly therapy

Weekly therapy is the standard cadence in my practice.

I reserve a regular weekly time for each client. This consistency matters. Somatic trauma therapy works cumulatively over time.
