Psychology Sessions
“I help individuals and couples recover from attachment wounds and trauma through relational and somatic therapy.”
I’m Elisa Fusi, Clinical Psychologist and Somatic Therapist
Providing trauma-informed online psychology sessions worldwide and immersive somatic therapy training and retreats in Costa Rica.
About me
I am a passionate Clinical Psychologist and Somatic Therapist dedicated to helping people navigate trauma and difficult early experiences. Rooted in a person-centered philosophy, my practice creates a safe, empowering environment tailored to each person’s unique healing journey.
From a psychodynamic perspective, I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to explore unconscious patterns, relational dynamics, and formative experiences that shape present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This depth-oriented approach is especially valuable for those navigating anxiety, phobias, depression, personality disorders, and neurodiversity.
To support the whole person, I bridge the mind-body gap by integrating Psycho Neuro Endocrine Immunology (PNEI) and Psychosomatic Medicine. As a Certified Somatic Therapy Foundations Practitioner (CSTFP) and Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), I blend evidence-based trauma modalities with somatic awareness to help patients process deep-seated distress, regulate their nervous systems, and reclaim their authenticity.
How can I help you today?
My Approach: Beyond Manuals and Techniques
While evidence-based protocols have their place, real healing doesn’t happen on paper—it happens in the relationship and through the relationship.
True therapy is a deeply human experience, and human suffering is complex. While my practice is grounded in advanced clinical training, I view these tools as a roadmap, not a forced script.
No matter how disconnected, lost, or broken you may feel right now, please know this: there is nothing wrong with you. My role as a therapist is not to “fix” you, because you are not an object to be repaired.
Instead, we will work together to create a safe, supportive space to nourish the authentic version of yourself waiting to emerge and breathe freely.

Every story is unique. Let’s talk about what you need and find the best way to start.
Talk therapy engages the mind, but trauma, anxiety, and distress leave their deepest imprints within the nervous system and the body.
Have you ever heard of Somatic Therapy?
Beyond traditional talk therapy, my practice integrates somatic therapy and PNEI to help you release stored tension, regulate your nervous system, and achieve true, whole-body well-being.

Online Sessions for Individuals & Couples
In my practice, I embrace a profound dynamic view of the mind, exploring the deep-seated roots of your inner world while honoring how your history lives within your biology. Moving beyond rigid clinical manuals, our sessions create a safe container for spontaneous narrative, self-expression, and movement. Together, we will listen to what both your words and your body are carrying. Whether you’re an individual or a couple, when we meet through a secure online platform, you’ll find an inclusive, person-centered space fully tailored to your unique nervous system.
Residential Retreats
somatic therapy for complex trauma
True, deep trauma processing demands that we temporarily step away from our daily scripts and offer our nervous systems the luxury of complete, uninterrupted safety. Nestled within the quiet, nurturing nature of the Costa Rican cloud forests, these residential retreats are explicitly designed for a strictly limited group of individuals navigating the aftermath of complex trauma and difficult early experiences. Together, we will decode your body’s unique stress responses, navigate the layers of complex trauma, and liberate stored emotional tension.
