A Psychedelic-Informed & Somatic Collective in Seattle: The Syzygy Approach
Syzygy is a specialized psychotherapy collective in Seattle dedicated to the intersection of somatic intelligence and expanded states of consciousness. We believe that profound transformation occurs when we move beyond the thinking mind and into the body’s felt sense. By blending evidence-based somatic therapy with psychedelic-informed care, we help you navigate the depths of your experience to achieve sustainable integration and vitality.
The Somatic Foundation: Bottom-Up Transformation
Traditional talk therapy often operates "top-down," focusing on the cognitive, thinking mind. At Syzygy, we prioritize a "bottom-up" approach. We work directly with the body’s wisdom to address trauma and patterns where they are stored—within the physical self. By prioritizing the body’s felt sense, we facilitate deeper integration that the thinking mind alone cannot reach.
Our Somatic Modalities
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Combining cognitive insight with body-centered techniques to help the body process and release stored trauma and move out of states of arousal or shutdown.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing): A somatic-based approach utilizing bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing memories and restore physiological balance.
Hakomi Method: A mindful, body-centered therapy that uses "little experiments" in mindfulness to uncover and shift the unconscious core beliefs that shape your life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Somatically identifying and unburdening internal "parts" of the self to restore harmony and authentic Self-leadership.
Psychedelic-Informed Care & Expanded States
As a psychedelic-informed collective, we provide a safe, grounded container for those exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness. Whether your experiences are catalyzed by medicine, breathwork, or spontaneous emergence, we specialize in the "Gold Standard" of Psychedelic Integration.
Preparation: Building the somatic resources and psychological "container" needed for deep exploration.
Integration: Translating abstract insights into concrete, embodied changes in your daily life.
Harm Reduction: Offering a non-judgmental, clinical space to process experiences and ensure long-term stability.

Deepening the Process: Integrating the Unconscious
Once you have established an understanding of your body’s language, you can move deeper into the transformative process by accessing the parts of yourself that have yet to be seen, digested, and integrated.
Neuroscience reveals that we only have conscious access to about 5% of our cognitive activity. The remaining 95% resides in the unconscious mind, quietly dictating our decisions, behaviors, and emotional responses. Without a map of this inner landscape, it is easy to feel pulled by a "mysterious undertow" of patterns that no longer serve you.
Accessing the Roots Through Non-Ordinary States (NOSC)
At Syzygy, we utilize specialized modalities designed to bypass the intellectual, analytical mind and access the unconscious directly. Non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC)—including meditative, psychedelic, ecstatic, and trance states—act as catalysts for this deep work. These states allow you to embody your experience in ineffable ways, making the "hidden" visible so it can finally be processed and resolved.
Somatic Pathways to Integration
By reconnecting with what has been held in the shadows, you can find the somatic roots of distress and restore equilibrium to your inner life. Our providers are trained in a diverse range of mindfulness-based and experiential therapies that evoke these transformative states, including:
Hakomi & Gestalt: Using present-moment awareness to study the "organized" unconscious.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Identifying and unburdening the "parts" of your psyche.
EMDR & Dreamwork: Reprocessing deep-seated material through symbolic and bilateral channels.
Psychedelic Integration & Experiential Art Therapy: Anchoring peak insights into tangible, embodied change.
Forging a New Path Forward
Through the deliberate integration of the unconscious, you move beyond temporary relief toward sustainable evolution. By "digesting" unresolved experiences, you reclaim your agency—creating lasting shifts in your behaviors, your relationships, and your emotional landscape.

Collective Resonance: Specialized Group Offerings
We believe that certain shifts are best supported within a shared container. At Syzygy, our group offerings are designed to move from individual insight into collective resonance, using movement, sound, and breath as catalysts for transformation.
Therapeutic Breathwork Groups
Our Conscious Breathwork sessions provide a somatic gateway to expanded states of consciousness. This practice allows you to bypass cognitive blocks and access the body’s innate intelligence for emotional release, clarity, and deep integration.
Expressive Sound & Music Therapy
Led by specialized practitioners, these groups use sound and music as a non-verbal medium for expression and connection, allowing the body to vibrate with new possibilities of being.
Therapeutic Laughter Yoga
A guided practice that leverages the physiological power of laughter to increase vitality, foster connection, and shift the body’s energetic state through play and movement.
