Somatic Therapy for Tech Professionals
Jun Akiyama ~ MA, LPC, ACS, BC-DMT
In-Person in Longmont / Virtual in Colorado
If you're like a lot of folks in tech, you reached your place in that world by solving problems through thinking harder.
But thinking your way out of burnout, anxiety, or relationship strain often doesn’t work very well.
It’s because these challenges don't live only in your head.
Your nervous system doesn't know the difference between a production incident and a ‘real’ threat. Your body braces just the same, and that armoring can become ingrained.
I work with the body directly, alongside the mind, to help things actually shift.
I'm a somatic psychotherapist specializing in developers, engineers, tech managers, and people fresh in their tech career.
Imagine what it might be like to…
bring your whole self through the office door
close your laptop and mean it
feel a steady core underneath your credentials
stay in your body when the call goes sideways
How do I know all of this?
Before I became a therapist, I spent decades as a developer myself. I know viscerally the challenges the tech world can bring.
My body remembers all that came with the field: the Slack notifications. The perfectionism. The grind that left me feeling I was always one step behind.
I'll help you reclaim what tech culture asks you to leave at the door.
How the Work Happens
Experiential explorations
We'll work with sensation, breath, and movement, alongside meaningful dialogue.
Body and mind together
Change is a joint effort between body and mind.
Bring your whole self
Your identity, history, and context are all part of the work.
If this resonates,
I’d love to hear from you.
