Gaia Somasca

LMFT

I am originally from Italy, and lived in New York for many years, prior to landing in California. Having lived across different cultures and continents, I bring a deep sensitivity to the unique experiences of immigrants, bicultural individuals, and those navigating multiple identities. I understand firsthand the complex dynamics of belonging, adaptation, and the search for home within oneself. This multicultural perspective, combined with my commitment to social justice, shapes every therapeutic relationship I enter.

I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I believe that inside each of us lives an innate wisdom that, like a guiding light, leads us toward healing when tended to with care and attention. My role is to help you tend to it, supporting you as you restore your body's capacity to mend wounds, cultivate a steady sense of aliveness, and find meaning in your life.

My own journey through personal crisis and healing led me to this work, and that experience continues to inform the compassionate, non-judgmental space I create for every person I have the privilege to support—whether virtually or in person. I know that healing is possible and it is an immense honor to walk alongside people as they courageously traverse the deserted and depleted terrains of their inner world — and together, witness the quiet transformations that bring forth new life, like a once-frozen forest coming into full bloom.
