FAQs
-
A modern, human-centered space where psychology, somatics, culture, and movement meet. We’re here to make mental health more embodied, more accessible, and a lot less performative.
-
WDML is a hybrid ecosystem: clinical work (through Layers Therapy), movement-based practice, somatic education, and human-first research. Different doors, same mission.
-
Individual therapy (through Layers Therapy), Human Mechanics sessions, writing, research, education, and community offerings, all under one nervous-system-informed roof.
-
A movement-based, somatic, nervous-system-first practice for real humans—not a workout, not a ritual, and not a trend. It helps you regulate, express, and actually feel like yourself again.
-
We don’t separate the mind from the body or pretend culture doesn’t matter. We blend psychology, physiology, lived experience, and science—without the wellness theatrics.
-
Therapy happens through Layers Therapy. Human Mechanics is education + somatics. Our writing and teaching are just part of being human in public.
-
People who think too much, feel too much, feel nothing at all, or are tired of mental health advice that ignores the body. Also clinicians, movers, artists, immigrants, and anyone craving depth.
-
Yes. This work is built for complexity. Trauma-informed, culturally responsive, body-aware, and clinically grounded.
-
Absolutely not. If you can move like a human—even awkwardly—you’re ready.
-
Nope. No crystals, no enlightenment packages. Just science, movement, and being present inside your own body again.
-
Integrative. Embodied. Trauma-informed. Grounded in psychology, somatics, narrative, and positive psychology, with respect for culture, identity, and lived experience.
-
Yes. And we skip the fluff. Everything we teach or practice draws from research in neuroscience, trauma, somatics, movement science, and psychology.
-
Yes—through my role as a licensed associate counselor at Layers Therapy.
-
WDML offerings are wellness + education. Therapy services (New Jersey only) may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement depending on your plan and I am currently in-network with Aetna.
-
Both. Therapy is primarily via telehealth. Human Mechanics and workshops are offered in person.
-
Movement, regulation, play, curiosity, and connection. No pressure, no perfection. Just humans being human—with a little science behind it.
-
Yes. WDML is building trainings, workshops, and future programs for clinicians and educators seeking somatic, embodied, culturally-informed tools.
-
Absolutely. LGBTQ+, BIPOC, SWANA, first-gen, immigrants, interfaith, neurodivergent, overthinkers, under-feelers—everyone is welcome and respected.
-
Probably. The good kind of weird. The kind that helps you feel like a human again.
