Hi! My name is Jill Sena. I have been a therapist for over 20 years. I will provide a safe and compassionate healing environment to support your growth and healing. Many people have tried talk therapy and have not seen the results they are looking for. I would love to assist you in making changes in your life. I work at the nervous system level to help you transform difficult patterns or injuries in your life. My goal is to help you reconnect to your own innate body’s wisdom. I will assist you in developing long-term strategies and tools. We will find your own resources and strengths to help you heal. This will increase safety in your body and increase your capacity in life.
I am certified in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience (DARe) along with being trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems).
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a type of therapy that addresses stress, anxiety, and dysregulation that is stored in the body. This therapy was founded by Peter A. Levine, Ph.D. Peter discovered that traumatic energy gets stuck in the body and this energy can cause depression, anxiety, panic attacks and dissociation. SE brings attention to the body to release the trauma locked inside. By tuning into the nervous system people can release fight, flight, and freeze responses. Trauma resolution at the body level may need to happen after developmental trauma, relational trauma, surgeries or medical procedures, sport injuries, car accidents, falls, natural disasters, physical or sexual assaults, brain injuries, and/or prolonged periods of stress.

Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experiencing (DARe) helps transform attachment wounds that show up in our primary relationships. Tapping into body awareness can help repattern relationship dynamics within oneself which leads to more secure attachment. DARe is highly effective in reducing shutdown behaviors, anger outbursts, fear of closeness, and sabotaging behaviors that can occur in interpersonal dynamics. To learn more about DARe (Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experiencing) founded by Dr. Diane Heller Poole please visit traumasolutions.com .
Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps individuals access a place within yourself that is calm, courageous, and compassionate. This extremely effective technique helps you connect to your own inner wisdom. This model leads you on a journey that can dramatically change many aspects of how you understand and relate to yourself and others. IFS discusses how we all have different parts inside ourselves and sometimes we are blended with these parts. I will work with you to assist you in healing different parts and learn to speak from a calm respectful manner in difficult situations. Everyone also has a core SELF that you can access it to reduce stress and break destructive behaviors. You can learn more about IFS and Dr. Richard Schwartz at ifs-institute.com.
If you are a student of Somatic Experiencing, I am qualified to provide sessions for SE students at the Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, and can offer consultations at the Beginning SE levels. For DARe students, I can provide individual sessions and consultations.
Please reach out to me if you are interested in working with me as a client or a student by contacting me through text, a phone call, or an email. My therapy sessions are 50-minute sessions and are conducted on Telehealth. Thank you for considering working with me and I look forward to guiding you on your fabulous healing journey.
