Hi. I’m Toni Richter, a somatic therapist.

A woman sitting on an orange textured chair, smiling, with glasses, wearing a brown t-shirt, dark green skirt, and brown high heels, against a plain light background.

I want you to know that I see you. You’ve been holding some really heavy stuff that’s not yours to carry. You have permission to set it down. You have permission to be messy and to be learning. You have permission to do what you want for your life and yourself. You can be angry. You can be sad. You can feel whatever you need to feel and it will be okay. You will be okay. You’re still enough. 

Specifically, I help women heal from attachment and relationship traumas. Many of the women I support are in their 30s and 40s, and by the time they find me, they’ve often done years of therapy. They’re ready for more—for healing that doesn’t just live in the mind, but settles into the body and opens space for real transformation. I help you remember and reawaken the deep wisdom that has always lived in your body. Through somatic therapies like Somatic Experiencing, IFS, EMDR, and trauma-conscious yoga, I support women and mothers in finding their way back to authenticity, wholeness, and embodied strength.

I believe systems like white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism have pulled us away from our bodies, our communities, and our true selves. My work helps you unlearn these patterns and return to a way of being rooted in your needs, your voice, and your truth. 

Your body already knows. Let’s help it listen.

I became a therapist because I believe women deserve to feel whole, safe in their bodies, and free to live for themselves—not just in relation to everyone else. Too often, we’re told what we “should” want and how we “should” be. That conditioning disconnects us from our body’s wisdom and keeps us carrying what was never ours.

This disconnection doesn’t just harm her—it ripples through families, relationships, and even across generations. But when a woman reclaims her voice, listens to her body, and trusts her own truth, everything shifts. Cycles of pain and silence can be broken. Children grow up knowing they are wanted. Families rise stronger.

My why is simple: I want women to know they are enough. I want them to return to themselves, to rise rooted and embodied, and to create the life they actually want. That’s where real healing and less suffering begins.

I help women—especially mothers and female therapists—who are ready to go deeper than talk therapy, release what they’ve been carrying, and reconnect with their bodies so they can live authentically and free.

Core Values

  • Wholeness
    I believe you’re not broken — healing is about reconnecting to your full, authentic self.

  • Embodied Healing
    I use somatic therapies, yoga, and EMDR to go beyond talk and support deep, body-based transformation.

  • Liberation-Focused
    I practice from a decolonized lens, helping you break free from inherited systems of harm like patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism.

  • Intersectional Feminism
    I honor the complexity of womanhood across race, class, sexuality, ability, and motherhood. You are seen in your full context.

  • Human-Centered
    You're more than a diagnosis. I value honesty, compassion, and honoring your whole humanity. I value your uniqueness. Society has values and beliefs they tell us to care about. I care more about what makes you you. What are YOUR values, what do YOU care about. What is YOUR why for living

  • Depth + Realness
    I don’t do surface-level. Healing here is raw, deep, sometimes hilarious — always real.

  • Interdependence
    I don’t have to do it alone. I believe in community, co-regulation, and healing in relationship.
