GOLDEN CLOVE THERAPY
Rena "Ro" Oppenheimer, LCSW
How I Work
Somatic
I am a somatic ("whole-being") practitioner, experientially engaging with body sensations, memories, thoughts, emotions, and realms beyond what we can touch. Somatic therapy allows people to transform trauma and stuck patterns into lasting change. I offer a combintation of more traditional somatic therapy and bodywork (in the lineage of cranio-sacral therapy) in-person in Brooklyn, New York.
Relational
I root in authentic connection: exploring patterns of attachment and relationships by being with what comes up in the moment. Realness, love, creativity, and a sense of humor are essential to my therapy style.
Liberation-Oriented
I work with clients to unlearn stories of worthlessness inherited from our dominant culture. I support people, humbly and without judgment, in reclaiming their own wholeness--and in feeling the connections between their struggles and the struggles of other earthly beings. Therapy, to me, is a form of liberation work--always evolving, rich, deep, and holy.
