Meet Fay
In-Person & Telehealth
Fay O’Neill, (she/her), LCSW-S, CYT-500, TCTSY-F, is an attachment based somatic psychotherapist and certified yoga teacher. Fay’s hope is to allow a space for the body to tell its story, for the wisdom that has been hidden and suppressed by trauma to slowly and safely emerge in a way that enables healing to unfold organically. Fay believes that complex trauma occurs in relationship and must be healed within a relationship that shares power, gives back your ability to choose for yourself, celebrates your authenticity, affirms your worthiness of care, and provides steady cues of safety so that your nervous system can begin to move out of a state of survival and into a state of connection, presence, and balance. Fay believes that the purpose of therapy is to dis-identify with the strategies, beliefs, emotions, labels, and stories we tell and the sensations that arise with them.
With a background of social work and passion for social justice, Fay also allows space for exploration of how the intersectionality of race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, and mental and physical ability all play an important part in the individual’s present experience and how oppression, marginalization, discrimination and the systems that uphold them all contribute greatly to individual and collective trauma.
Fay’s approach to treatment blends somatic bottom-up approaches and contemplative, depth-oriented, mindful approaches such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM), Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga, breathwork, mindfulness meditation, iRest Yoga Nidra meditation, Compassionate Inquiry, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to facilitate healing of trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and integration of the whole person, body, mind, and spirit.
