Beyond talk therapy.

For individuals ready for change that feels embodied and lasting — and for therapists deepening their craft.

For individuals

A safe, compassionate space to create meaningful change in how you feel, connect, and live — especially for those healing from trauma, relational wounds, or the lasting effects of PTSD and complex PTSD.

If talk therapy hasn’t felt like enough, this is a place to go deeper — with care, safety, and focus.

Together, we’ll explore what most needs your attention — early attachment wounds, the aftereffects of trauma, the weight of PTSD or complex PTSD, or the quieter strain of carrying too much for too long. Our work isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating space for something real to unfold: healing that is steady, grounded, and lasting.

With care and consistent presence, I’ll be alongside you as you make sense of what’s been carried inside and begin opening to new ways of feeling, connecting, and living.

Change often happens right in the moment — grounded in safety, felt in the body, and gradually integrated into daily life. When the body, emotions, and mind begin to trust that safety, old survival patterns loosen. In that release, transformation becomes possible.

How Change Happens

How lasting change unfolds — especially after trauma

Lasting change doesn’t come from talking alone. It happens when therapy engages the body, emotions, and mind together. This is especially true in trauma work, where survival patterns can keep you cycling through overwhelm or disconnection.

My approach draws from experiential, relational, and somatic therapies — organized around four pathways of change:

1. Working with Emotion

We meet the emotions that matter most — often the ones long avoided or buried. Safely allowing them to move and integrate transforms what once felt unbearable into clarity and strength.

2. Listening to the Body

Your body holds the story of what’s been endured. We follow its rhythms to help release tension and restore balance, making room for stability and ease.

3. Healing in Relationship

The right relationship can repair what was hurt in the hardest ones. Moment by moment, trust builds, allowing connection to feel possible again.

4. Restoring Wholeness

Every part of you belongs — the protectors, the hurting, the hesitant, and the hopeful. As they’re met with compassion, your whole self can move forward in harmony.

An Integrative Approach to Healing, Growth + Lasting Change

Blending leading trauma-focused approaches into a way of working that is both effective and deeply human.

I work with individuals and therapists who are looking for more than surface-level solutions. My approach is experiential, relational, somatic, and integrative — grounded in the science of how people change and guided by the art of how people grow.

Every session is personal. Every step is intentional. The process is designed for safety, depth, and lasting change — especially in healing early attachment wounds, PTSD, and complex PTSD.

Over the past two decades, I’ve trained extensively in experiential, attachment-based, and somatic therapies, weaving them into a unified way of working.

Whether in therapy or consultation, my focus is helping people move beyond understanding alone — so that change is not only known, but felt and lived.

Consultation and training to strengthen your stance, sharpen your interventions, and bring experiential depth to your practice

For therapists

I offer consultation and training for therapists who want to work experientially — with confidence, precision, and depth.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your AEDP practice or to integrate multiple experiential approaches into a cohesive whole, you’ll strengthen your therapeutic stance, sharpen your interventions, and feel more grounded in navigating the moments that matter most in therapy.

Healing isn’t about erasing or rewriting the past — it’s about no longer being alone with it, about reclaiming the capacity to feel, integrate, and carry what once overwhelmed you, so life can move forward from wholeness, not from wounding.
— Michael Mondoro

I’m a licensed psychotherapist and trauma and dissociation specialist with more than two decades of experience — caring for clients in New York and Connecticut, and supporting therapists around the world.

My work integrates AEDP, Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, relational therapy, and interpersonal neuroscience into one adaptive, experiential approach.

I’ve had the privilege of teaching internationally, training advanced clinicians, and presenting on trauma, dissociation, and experiential methods.

At the heart of it all is a single focus: helping people — whether clients or therapists — move toward authentic healing, growth, and transformation.
