Alev Butun

Hi, I am Alev. I work in an integrative way.This means I use techniques drawn from different approaches to support your specific life experiences, personality and holistic self. I work in an embodied way to help you understand how your emotional and psychological challenges show up in your body and nervous system and how you can use the body as a way to reach and heal the root of your concerns.This could include bringing awareness to specific sensations, movements or gestures in the body and working with the breath. I aim to incorporate all levels of your experience -the physical,mental,emotional,spiritual, the whole of who you are.

My intention as a therapist is to offer you an empathic, accepting space where you can express yourself, understand unconscious patterns that are creating unhappiness in your life, reconnect with your true, authentic self and develop greater self-awareness so you can move towards your desired life with power and purpose.Having worked with many people from

diverse communities,I can understand at a deep level what it means to be different as well as how important it is to be given a space for expression of our differences and cultural backgrounds and build our sense of belonging. Awareness of my own embodied experiences enables me to provide this space with sensitivity.I look forward to working collaboratively.
