Welcome!

I’m Blessing Uchendu, a trauma-informed somatic psychotherapist and speaker based in New York City.

Maybe you’ve tried therapy in the past and now you understand the “why” behind your behavior, but you still struggle to make lasting change. If so, body-based therapies might be for you.

In addition to talking, I use somatic therapies (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing) to help you bridge the mind/body divide to connect with your body’s innate wisdom and change entrenched patterns.

A Bit About Me

I’m a Nigerian-American healer, somatic trauma therapist, and speaker with 15+ years of experience spanning education, non-profits and clinical practice.

My practice centers the healing of high performing BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color), women and femmes. My speciality is helping people “clear out the noise,” in order to connect with and be guided by their most authentic selves.
