Somatic Therapy Training for Clinicians

Somatic therapy training gives clinicians powerful tools to help clients heal from trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation by connecting body and mind. Rooted in neuroscience and trauma research, somatic experiencing therapy and other body-based approaches guide clients toward greater regulation, resilience, and healing.

PESI offers comprehensive somatic experiencing training and somatic therapy certification programs that provide accredited Continuing Education (CE) credits. Taught by leading experts, including Peter Levine, PhD, and Abi Blakeslee, SEP, CMT, MFT, PhD, these courses blend theory with practice, showing you how to integrate somatic techniques into trauma treatment, psychotherapy, and holistic care.

Whether you’re looking for introductory training in somatic therapy or advanced somatic healing training, PESI helps you build confidence and develop the skills needed to become a certified somatic therapist.
