Daniel Gaustad, SEP

Welcome to my practice!

I provide Somatic Experiencing sessions for individuals and couples who want to reduce accumulated stress, increase capacity to be with challenges and successes in life and/or address trauma from an embodied perspective.

Within a container of safety and connection, clients gain perspectives and build skills that lead to more authenticity, empowerment and joy in relationships with self and with others.

I also facilitate ongoing groups for those who want to experience this within a supportive community.

I meet with clients In-Person and Online.

In-person sessions are available in Pacifica, CA; San Francisco, CA; and Minneapolis, MN.

Please explore my website to learn more about me and the services I offer. And, if you’d like to meet and discuss your goals and how I might support you in meeting them, I offer complimentary 25-minute consultations. Just click on the button below!
