Wellness Embodied: A Center for Psychotherapy and Healing

04/04/2026

EMDR is a therapeutic approach designed to help the brain process and integrate experiences that may still feel overwhelming or activating.

Rather than only talking through what’s happened, EMDR works with how those experiences are stored in the nervous system, helping to reduce distress and create space for new understanding and relief.

This work can be supportive for a range of experiences, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and patterns that feel difficult to shift on your own.

We offer EMDR in a few different ways - as adjunct sessions alongside your current therapy, or as more focused intensives depending on your needs.

If you’ve been curious about EMDR or wondering if it could be a good fit for you, we’re here to help guide you through the next steps. Reach out to us today with the link in our bio.

A note from our KAP team

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is one of the ways we support deeper healing at Wellness Embodied.

Sometimes talk therapy and somatic work alone aren’t enough to create the shifts people are seeking. KAP offers another pathway, gently softening the mind’s defenses and opening a window of neuroplasticity, allowing new insights, connections, and perspectives to emerge.

This approach can be especially supportive for those navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, or experiences that feel difficult to shift through traditional therapy alone. When held within a safe and intentional therapeutic relationship, this work can lead to meaningful changes in how we relate to ourselves and our lives.

If you’re curious about exploring KAP, we would love to support you in this work. KAP can be offered as an adjunct service, meaning you don’t need to be an existing Wellness Embodied client, and we can collaborate with your current therapist or practitioner to support your care.

With care,
The KAP Team at Wellness Embodied

Living with ADHD can sometimes feel overwhelming, isolating, or misunderstood. You’re not alone.

Our Adult ADHD Group at Wellness Embodied is a space designed for adults whose ADHD is an ongoing presence in their lives - offering support, connection, and practical tools in a steady, welcoming environment.

Facilitated by Isaac Tropp, MSW (in progress), this group invites participants to slow down, reflect, and share their experiences alongside others who understand what it feels like to navigate ADHD day to day.

Together, the group will focus on three core areas:

- processing personal experiences with ADHD (past and present)
- connecting with others through shared lived experience
- building supportive skills like time management, accountability, and motivation

This is a space to feel understood, supported, and less alone, while also gaining tools to navigate daily life with more clarity and confidence.

Details:
Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:15 PM
In person at Wellness Embodied (New Paltz)
Beginning April 14th, 2026, for a 4-week series
$40 per session
10% discount when paying for the full series

This is a closed group, meaning participants are asked to commit to the full series to help build trust and continuity.

       

Located in the Hudson Valley, at Wellness Embodied, psychotherapy is a journey of discovery and healing. We welcome you to embark on this supported quest with us - of making your life a more accurate version of the hope and visions you imagine for yourself. Join us in New Paltz, NY or online via tel...

April is here.

A new month, a little more light, and a chance to ease into whatever this season looks like for you.

Seasonal shifts don’t just happen outside. They happen internally, too. It’s normal for your body and mind to feel a little off during seasonal shifts, more tired, more emotional, or just not quite like yourself.

This is your reminder that nothing is wrong with you, you’re just adjusting!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the therapeutic modalities we offer at Wellness Embodied to support deeper healing.

At its core, EMDR is a trauma-focused psychotherapy that helps the brain process and integrate difficult experiences in a safe and supported way. Rather than only talking through past events, EMDR works with how those experiences are stored in the nervous system.

This approach involves identifying a memory or pattern, building internal resources to support the process, and then engaging in bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, sound, or tapping) to help the brain reprocess the experience.

In many ways, this process mirrors an accelerated version of REM sleep, allowing the brain to move toward resolution, new insight, and more supportive beliefs about oneself.

EMDR can be especially helpful for those navigating trauma, anxiety, or longstanding patterns that feel difficult to shift through traditional talk therapy alone.

Importantly, this work is gradual and intentional. Resource-building is a key part of the process, helping clients feel grounded and supported before moving into deeper therapeutic work.

At Wellness Embodied, we have a team of EMDR-trained therapists who offer this modality with care, presence, and clinical integrity.

If you’re curious about whether EMDR could support your healing journey, our intake coordinator, Sarah, would be happy to guide you through the next steps.

A gentle reminder.

“Awareness is often the first step toward meaningful change.”

Healing is rarely a sudden breakthrough or a single moment of clarity. It often starts by simply noticing. Noticing patterns, reactions, habits, and needs that may have gone unseen before.

That awareness can feel subtle at first, but it creates space for something new to take shape over time.

At Wellness Embodied, we hold space for that process. Without rushing it.

A quiet look inside our KAP space 🤍

This room was thoughtfully created to feel calm, supportive, and grounding, a place where you can settle in and feel held throughout your experience.

Every detail is intentional, from the lighting to the textures to the overall atmosphere, helping support a sense of safety and ease.

Feeling comfortable in the space is part of the process.

Sometimes it’s not about doing more work, it’s about doing the work at the right pace.

In trauma-focused therapy, pacing matters because your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to process what’s coming up. Moving too quickly can feel overwhelming or destabilizing, while moving too slowly can feel stuck.

The goal is to find a pace that allows for steady progress without pushing beyond what your system can tolerate.

At Wellness Embodied, we approach trauma work with intention and care, adjusting the pace based on your needs, your history, and how your body is responding in real time.

This is especially important in EMDR, where processing happens in a structured way, but always with flexibility. Some sessions may focus on resourcing and stabilization, while others move into deeper processing work.

There’s no “right” speed when it comes to healing, only what’s right for you.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed in your healing process or unsure why things feel stuck, pacing might be part of the conversation.

If you’re curious about what support could look like, send us a message or give us a call at 845-743-6878, and our team will help guide you through the next steps!

Living with ADHD can feel overwhelming at times, especially when it feels like you’re navigating it on your own. This group was created to offer something different, a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and connect with others who truly get it.

Facilitated by Isaac Tropp, this 8-week group is centered around shared experience, supportive conversation, and building practical tools for everyday life, from time management to motivation to accountability.

More than anything, it’s a space to show up as you are, and to be reminded that you’re not alone in this.

Details:
Tuesdays, 5:00 to 6:15 PM
Beginning March 24 (no group April 7)
In person at Wellness Embodied
$40 per session (10% off when booking the full series)

This is a closed group to help build consistency and trust over time.

Meet Smaro 🤍

At Wellness Embodied, the clinicians who hold this space are as important as the space itself, each bringing their own lived experience, training, and way of being into the room.

Smaro Getsios, LMSW, is a psychotherapist who brings a deeply thoughtful and grounded presence to her work. She supports clients navigating complex and tender experiences, with a focus on meaning-making, healing, and growth.

With a background in philosophy, religious studies, and anthropology, Smaro approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Together, you explore your story, reconnect with your inner strengths, and begin to shape new meaning from your experiences.

Her work has been shaped by time in hospice care, supporting individuals and families through grief and end-of-life transitions, and continues to inform the way she shows up with presence, compassion, and respect.

She also integrates spiritual and holistic practices, including Reiki, creating space for both emotional and energetic restoration.

Her approach is trauma-informed, spiritually grounded, and centered on helping you move through the process at your own pace.

We’re so grateful to have her as part of our team!
