Elevating You Life Coaching
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP & TRLC
Hi! My name is Gricelda Alva Brito. I am a Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) Practitioner, SEP and Trauma Resiliency Life Coach (TRLC).
I completed my three year Professional Certificate program in September 2024 offered by Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™)International. Additionally, I trained as a Trauma Resiliency Life Coach through The Arizona Trauma Training Institute accredited and globally recognized by Trauma Institute International. I have worked with survivors of sexual harm offering crisis counseling as a CA Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor.
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE™) is a modality developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. SE™ addresses healing the root of trauma and unresolved stress by working with the nervous system.
As a Somatic Life Coach, I will support you in pursuing meaningful goals that align with your life purpose.
Trauma Resiliency Life Coaching will offer individuals with opportunities to understand the neurobiology of their nervous system, manage stress, trauma responses, and gaining awareness on limiting beliefs. TRLC uses an asset focus, strength-based, trauma-informed approach, client led, and salutogenic approach to support client wellness. Somatic Coaching offers an opportunity for empowerment, embodiment and maximizing a client’s true potential in moving forward in life.
As a trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) my approach is to meet clients where they are by creating a safe container. I support clients in regaining control in their lives. I bring a caring presence to support clients to process what needs to come to the surface.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

Resilient Roots Therapy - Social Work and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MA, RP
At Resilient Roots Therapy, we are person-centred and trauma-informed, meaning our work will be grounded in respect, empathy, and your own unique strengths. We integrate a variety of effective modalities, including narrative therapy, somatic work, Mind-Body Attunement, neuro-linguistic approaches, and internal family systems. These forms of therapy are highly effective in normalizing the mind-body connection and supporting the healing of emotional wounds, including intergenerational trauma.
I have been in the mental health field for 11 years. Throughout my career, I’ve been on my own journey of identity learning, understanding that identity is something we come into rather than something we find. As a queer Black woman, I am keenly aware of the unique challenges faced by people of colour, queer, trans, and non-binary folx. My intent is to not only create a safe space for all my clients but also a brave space where genuine transformation can occur.

Somatic Spiritual Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MDiv, SEPc, Registered Psychotherapist
At Somatic Spiritual Counseling, we offer mindfulness- and body-based therapy for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and feel more at home in their lives. Our practitioners bring different specialties to the work, including somatic trauma therapy, couples counseling, support for depression and anxiety, transpersonal psychology, LGBTQ+ concerns, spirituality, and spiritual emergence.
Rather than focusing only on the stories you tell about what has happened, we at Somatic Spiritual Counseling also pay attention to what your body and nervous system are communicating. Through somatic healing, mindfulness, and compassionate exploration of unconscious patterns and beliefs, we help you work with what may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. Our approach to somatic spiritual counseling is grounded, individualized, and designed to support meaningful, lasting change.
