About Gina

Gina Watkins (she/her) is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, trauma-trained therapist, and somatic practitioner with over two decades of experience walking alongside women through anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. She specializes in supporting mothers, cycle-breakers, and deep feelers — especially those navigating burnout, overwhelm, and the impact of relationship wounds.

Gina’s work is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel safe in our bodies, steady in our nervous systems, and supported by someone who truly understands the depth of what we’re carrying.

She brings a unique integration of professional expertise, body-based practices, and relational depth. Her approach is warm and collaborative — you show up as you are, and she brings the support, guidance, and her expertise to help you move forward.

Gina is trained in:

  • Somatic therapy and nervous system regulation

  • Trauma-informed care with a focus on complex and developmental trauma

  • Attachment and relationship healing

  • Perinatal and maternal mental health

  • Parenting support and generational cycle-breaking

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and mind-body integration

Clients often describe her as kind, calming, and deeply intuitive — someone who knows when to hold space, and when to gently challenge patterns that no longer serve.

Whether you’re healing old wounds or navigating a new chapter, Gina offers a steady, compassionate presence — and a path forward that honors the whole of who you are.

  • Gina blends traditional psychotherapy with somatic and nervous-system-informed modalities to support deep, lasting healing. Her work integrates EFT/tapping, mindfulness, parts work, and trauma-informed education to help clients shift out of survival mode and into a place of presence, self-trust, and vitality.

    She offers therapy intensives and individual sessions that support women in reconnecting with their bodies, rewriting old patterns, and stepping into a version of themselves that feels grounded, empowered, and whole.

    Whether someone is navigating motherhood, relationship challenges, burnout, or unprocessed trauma from the past, Gina creates a space that is affirming, skillful, and deeply human.
