What does individual therapy with Dr. Reyna Aday involve?

Individual therapy with Dr. Reyna Aday is a personalized, trauma-informed process that integrates neuroscience, somatic techniques, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and polyvagal-informed approaches. Sessions are tailored to each client's unique history, goals, and nervous system responses.

What conditions does Dr. Reyna Aday treat in individual therapy?

Dr. Aday specializes in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, childhood adversity, relational trauma, and stress-related conditions. She also works with clients navigating identity shifts, burnout, and life transitions.

Is individual therapy available online or in person?

Dr. Reyna Aday offers both in-person and telehealth individual therapy sessions. She is licensed in Florida, New Jersey, Texas, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania, making virtual sessions available to clients across those states.

What is polyvagal-informed therapy?

Polyvagal-informed therapy uses Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory to help clients understand how their autonomic nervous system responds to perceived safety and threat. Dr. Aday uses this framework to help clients recognize their own activation patterns and develop practical tools for regulation, presence, and connection.

How is somatic therapy different from traditional talk therapy?

Somatic therapy attends to the body as well as the mind. Rather than focusing solely on thoughts and narratives, somatic approaches track physical sensations, tension patterns, and body-based responses to help process and release trauma stored in the nervous system.

Dr. Reyna Aday

Individual Therapy

Drawing on a whole-body, mind-body integration approach, I tailor each session to your unique needs using neuro-informed insights, somatic techniques, and a blend of evidence-based therapies to guide your healing journey.

How I Can Support You

Complex Trauma

Many people carry wounds from childhood adversity, relational betrayal, or prolonged stress. Together we create a safe, paced environment to explore these experiences without re-traumatization, building internal resources and a stable sense of self along the way.

Neuro-Informed and Polyvagal-Informed Approaches

Understanding how your nervous system responds to threat and safety is foundational to healing. I use polyvagal theory to help you recognize your own activation patterns and develop practical tools for regulation, presence, and connection.

Somatic Therapy and Body Mapping

Trauma lives in the body. Through somatic awareness exercises and body mapping, we explore where tension, emotion, and memory are held physically, and gently work to release and integrate those experiences.

Trauma-Informed Individual Therapy

EMDR and Trauma Processing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer hold the same emotional charge. I am an EMDRIA-certified therapist trained to guide this process with care.

Internal Family Systems and Parts Work

IFS helps you understand the different 'parts' of yourself (the protectors, the wounded parts, and the core Self) and build compassionate relationships between them, reducing internal conflict and increasing self-leadership.

Mindfulness and Nervous System Regulation

Mindfulness-based practices are woven throughout our work to help you develop moment-to-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and cultivate a grounded, present-centered way of being.

Solution-Focused and Strength-Based Planning

While we honor the depth of your history, we also orient toward your strengths and future goals. Solution-focused strategies help you identify what's already working and build on it with intention.
