For many of us, we may have grown up in environments where being ourselves and speaking honestly came with painful consequences. As a result, we learned to not be ourselves … to dim ourselves down and hush our wants because life was “better” if we did. So no wonder it can be hard to trust ourselves and value our feelings. Doing so once (or often!) got us into trouble.
I combine Somatic Experiencing and Inner Relationship Focusing to help sensitive people learn to fully trust themselves, so they can follow their inner knowing … what fits and feels right … even when it’s hard. Even when others don’t understand.
I love helping clients go from feeling anxious, unsure and overwhelmed to living with more clarity, confidence and ease. If you're curious to learn more, let's chat! You can schedule a free, no-obligation call on my website.

Everyone can use help on their journey toward healing and happiness. I work collaboratively with clients to provide a gentle, somatic-based healing experience. I assist clients in moving past the difficulties in their childhood, family, career, relationships, cultic group, or high-demand religion. I am passionate about working with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and view such sensitivity as a gift.

IFS-Informed EMDR (Levels 1, 2, and 3)
Advanced Psychodrama Student with HVPI
Advanced Psychodramatic Bodyworks with Susan Aaron
Specialization
In my private practice, rather than just use one modality, I utilize an integrative strength-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes attachment focused EMDR (certified), IFS informed-EMDR, EMDR-2.0, FLASH, Somatic Experiencing (SEP), Inner-Relationship Focusing, Advanced Psychodrama and Psychodramatic Bodyworks, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and family systems orientations. By highlighting the mind-body-spirit connection, I encourage the development of skills designed to increase self-awareness and to improve one's ability to tolerate, embrace, and respond to experiences as they are in any given moment, as well as to improve communication and adaptive coping.
My therapeutic style has grown not only from my background working as a psychologist but also from my prior career as a professional ballet dancer. Both of these professions taught me the importance of understanding and fostering the link between the physical and emotional aspects of the self, and of creating balance in order to nurture the "whole" self. My specialties include working with individuals, couples and families struggling with complex trauma, attachment wounds, addiction, anxiety, depression/mood disorders, OCD, stress management, HIV/AIDS and other chronic medical/pain conditions, interpersonal/family conflict, career and life transitions, creative blocks, loss and bereavement, issues related to identity and self-esteem, and work with identified populations (i.e., college students and professionals, performing artists, etc.)

Do you feel constantly on edge or shut down—or swing between both? Tired of the cycle and ready to feel steadier in your body and mind?
Marie Norton is a trauma-informed therapist practicing in DC and Virginia. Trained in Somatic Experiencing® and Inner Relationship Focusing, her work helps clients reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and inner experience in ways that feel safe and manageable.
She supports people navigating trauma, triggered rage, shame, anxiety, stress dreams, and creative blocks. Through a collaborative process, Marie helps clients build nervous system resilience and cultivate compassionate relationships with parts of the self that carry pain or protection strategies. Therapy with her is less about analyzing the story over and over and more about noticing what’s happening in the body in real time—helping clients feel grounded, safe, and more embodied.
Marie brings curiosity and creativity into her practice. She believes healing unfolds through presence, pacing, and listening to the body.
You don’t have to navigate this alone—reach out to explore working together.
Client testimonial:
"Working with Marie was different from talk therapy. We slowed down, paid attention to my body, and I learned to notice overwhelm early. For the first time, change felt embodied, not just understood."

As a trained Somatic Practitioner I provide virtual sessions to clients worldwide.
Specialization
I’m a trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Somatic Parts Work Facilitator. I am not a trained psychotherapist – by choice. I specialize in helping highly sensitive people embody a more authentic and coherent sense of self in relation to others, particularly in key moments where their default nervous system response has been to freeze, fawn, and energetically “disappear.” I work exclusively with adults in one-on-one sessions and do not offer couples therapy.
The first step in working with me is to schedule a free consultation by emailing me contacting me through my website. I typically work with people in blocks of 12 sessions and offer a sliding scale to accommodate different financial situations.

Specialization
My somatic practice integrates Somatic Experiencing, Inner Relationship Focusing and NeuroAffective Touch. My clients tend to describe themselves as curious, open, creative and seek support with what is getting in the way of them feeling less tension and more understood in their life and in their relationships. Using SE & IRF and when appropriate, in person somatic touch or intentional touch online, I help clients develop skills to contact their felt sense and deeper ways of knowing to experience life with less tension and heal symptoms of early relational wounding. Clients gain more clarity and learn empowering life skills of self-support to bring into daily life. To make an appointment with me, you can email or go to my private practice website.
