“There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken, a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable.”

Welcome!
Welcome. I’m Joanna Fassl, a Licensed Psychotherapist (LMFT #139466) and Doctor of Chiropractic (DC #31991), here to support your journey toward healing, cultivating grounded resilience, and authentic connection in a world that is increasingly disconnected.
I work deeply with the interplay of attachment, nervous system states, and trauma, recognizing how key bonds, conditioning, and cultural influences shape your sense of self, expression, and capacity to engage in the world. My approach integrates the psychological, neurophysiological, and imaginal~~honoring the body, the psyche, and the soul while attending to how dominant constructs, relational inequities, and coercive power structures contort lived experience.
I help those who have shut down, betrayed, or externalized themselves, or who are over-enmeshed with others, reclaim their vitality, recover a free yet grounded presence, and re-learn how to language and embody intimacy and attunement in a consenting, functional structure. My work is about the “how” of healing~~helping you inhabit your body fully, move through unencumbered pulsation, and cultivate connection that is embodied, resonant, and restorative.
I am an ally to BIPOC and LGBTQQIAAP communities, and I create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your story with clarity, rigor, and compassion.
You're invited to reach out to me for a free 20-minute consult here.

this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom by rupi kaur
