Hello, I am Mischa Hines, trained trauma-focused somatic therapist, yoga therapist, certified Life Coach, and Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist.*

​

Since 2012 I have been working as a trauma-focused somatic therapist. I am a Certified Yoga Therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT, IAYT.org) and hold my Advanced Yoga Therapy Certification from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. In addition, I am a Somatic Experiencing-trained therapist and a certified provider for The Safe & Sound Protocol.  My work in the field of trauma recovery has been a passion and I have had the great fortune of having studied with Peter Levine and his organization since 2016 as well as Bessel VanDerKolk and the team from the Trauma Center in Brookline, Massachusetts  

In 2022, I received my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles specializing in Psychological Trauma.

​

In short, I am a person who believes deeply that we each have the tools within us, at this moment, to create a life where we have agency over fear and anxiety and one that is full of sustainable joy. With my experience and expertise in these number of modalities, together, we will find the process and tools that are right for you.
