Paige believes the body holds profound wisdom about our experiences and how to heal—it’s our job to learn to listen. Trained in psychology at New York University and currently pursuing her master’s at City College in Manhattan, she integrates somatic-based approaches with Internal Family Systems, Gestalt, and Existential therapies to help clients reconnect with themselves in a more embodied way. She is also in the process of becoming certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
With years of experience in somatic therapy, Paige transitioned from the corporate world to direct client work, driven by a passion for deep, relational healing. She incorporates mindfulness and breathwork to support nervous system regulation, fostering greater presence and balance.
A core aspect of her work is relational therapy—using the therapeutic relationship to uncover patterns and dynamics that shape how clients engage with themselves and others. Through this exploration, clients develop more fulfilling and authentic connections.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply attuned to each client’s unique journey. With additional training in crisis work and Hakomi, she helps clients build self-awareness, resilience, and a greater sense of ease in both mind and body.

Rebecca Stone, LCSW, is a somatic trauma therapist and couples therapist, and the founder of Brooklyn Somatic Therapy. Her work lives at the intersection of science and soul—where attachment wounds, ancestral legacies, and nervous system patterns meet the possibility of deep transformation.
Rebecca is certified in The Hakomi Method and Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, and has served as a teacher for the Hakomi Institute’s comprehensive program. She has advanced training in Attachment-Focused EMDR, Family Constellations, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy and Somatic Experiencing. She has taught and facilitated workshops nationwide on trauma, intergenerational healing, and post-traumatic growth.
Rebecca’s approach is deeply informed by her ongoing work in restorative justice, psychedelic medicine and integration, and spiritual practice. She believes that true healing is about wholeness—reclaiming all parts of the self, including the ones we were taught to exile.
