Antioch University Santa Barbara’s MA in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Somatic Psychotherapy prepares you to become a licensed MFT with specialization in the leading-edge holistic approach of somatics. Somatic psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach embracing the interconnection between the body, mind, spirit, and connection to oneself, community and environment. Somatic approaches address psychological and physical responses to trauma and post-traumatic stress disorders, as well a vast range of life issues including depression, anxiety, and attachment disorders. Somatic approaches draw from scientific evidence that feeling, sensation, expression, movement, and emotions are embodied through the course of development, in patterns impacting how we function including how we relate to ourselves and others.
