Who this work is for
This work is often a strong fit for adults who:
• are high-masking autistic or AuDHD and living with burnout or shutdown
• hold high-responsibility roles and cannot afford nervous system collapse
• experience trauma activation, dissociation, or chronic bracing
• carry developmental, relational, medical, or intergenerational trauma
• want depth-oriented, somatic trauma resolution—not surface coping
Quick definition: By high-masking, I mean you may appear regulated or successful externally while your nervous system is doing immense work to cope—often at significant cost to energy, intimacy, health, and joy.
If your life looks “fine” but your body is exhausted
You may be competent, relied upon, effective—and internally bracing, scanning, pushing through, or shutting down to function.
Somatic therapy is for when insight is no longer enough. When your body needs to renegotiate survival patterns rather than manage them.
This is depth-oriented trauma resolution, not symptom management.
Specialization
I’m Setareh Azar Jinn, LMFT and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). My work focuses on:
• developmental and attachment trauma
• shock trauma (accident, medical, acute events)
• chronic stress physiology and hypervigilance
• dissociation and shutdown
• high-masking autistic/AuDHD burnout
• identity-based and intergenerational stress
We work precisely & gently with sensation, impulse, emotion, attachment patterns, and boundaries so your nervous system can reorganize out of survival states into steadiness and choice.
Clinical Approach (what may change)
Somatic Experiencing–informed, relational, depth-oriented, with gentle precision.
Sessions are collaborative and paced. We track what is happening in real time
Your system learns safety and agency experientially—not performance or willpower.
Weekly therapy only. This work requires consistency.
