Reconnect with your body
COME HOME
Elisabeth T. White, LMFT
In-person walking therapy in Los Angeles and virtual therapy across California for adults exploring recovery, emotional wellbeing, and deeper healing beyond insight alone.
Therapy with me is a space to reconnect with yourself, build trust in your felt sense, and return steadiness in your body.
This is not about fixing you.
It is about supporting your nervous system in moving out of survival and into grounded, present, embodied experience.
Let your mind take the first step with
Mind in Motion Psychotherapy ™
Offering a different approach to healing.
Mind in Motion Psychotherapy ™
is an integrative, somatically informed approach.
Healing doesn’t happen through talking alone-it happens through presence, movement, and lived experience.
When the body is included alongside conversation, therapy becomes more regulating, more accessible, and more real
This may include walking therapy, body-based awareness, and nervous system-informed work, always grounded in clinical practice and paced with care.
Does This Sound Like You?
Talk therapy helped-but it didn’t reach everything
You are sober or sober-curious, and still feel stuck in your system
You are in recovery, but anxiety or overwhelm still lives in your body
You understand your patterns but nothing is shifting at a body level
Your body holds tension, shutdown, or numbness that talking can’t touch
You feel disconnected from yourself-even when you can make sense of things
What it’s like to Work Together
Our work is relational, somatically informed, and paced with care.
We won’t just talk about your experiences–we’ll slow down enough to notice what’s happening in your body, in real time.
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding how your nervous system learned to adapt–and creating more safety to be fully yourself.
We’ll move at a pace your system can actually integrate. And over time, what once felt stuck can begin to shift.
What can change over time?
Less overwhelm–and more capacity to stay present in your body
More clarity in your relationships, without losing yourself
The ability to set boundaries without as much second-guessing
A deeper trust in your inner sense of knowing
Feeling more at home in your body, not just in your thoughts
Insight is part of the work. It is not where it ends.
What will we actually work on?
Together, we focus on your nervous system; how it learned to stay safe, and how it can begin to settle by:
Understanding your patterns through a nervous system lens (not just insight)
Learning how to track what’s happening in your body, in real time
Building capacity for regulation, presence, and steadiness
Gently working with activation, shutdown, and everything in between
We’ll pay close attention to what your body is communicating–moment to moment–so change happens not just cognitively, but experientially.
What you get to stop doing?
Feeling overtaken by sensations in your body that don’t make sense
Knowing what’s true, but not being able to feel it
Cycling between overwhelm and shutdown
Feeling numb, disconnected, or not fully yourself
Instead, your system begins to settle. And you start to feel more connected, more steady, and more like yourself.
Beyond Insight:
Somatic Healing
You can understand your patterns and still feel stuck in your body.
Somatic work meets you there.
We track what’s happening in real time, so change happens at the level of your nervous system.
How Walking Therapy Can Help
Walking therapy brings gentle movement into the work. For some people, moving while talking creates more ease, more honesty, and deeper access to what is underneath.
Walking therapy can:
Support nervous system regulation
Reduce pressure and intensity
Help access emotions held in the body
Support you when you feel stuck or shut down
Increase present moment awareness
Feel more natural, open, and human

About Elisabeth
I am Elisabeth T. White, a licensed therapist offering walking therapy in Los Angeles and virtual therapy across California. My work is grounded, collaborative, and informed by somatic and nervous system-based approaches.
I help clients connect thoughts with body sensations so the nervous system can slow down and experience safety in real time. This creates space for change that feels deeper, more integrated, and lasting.
Therapy with me is not rushed. It is a space to slow down, listen inwardly, and become more fully yourself.
-
I work with adults ages 18 to 65 seeking support with recovery, emotional wellbeing, trauma processing, and life transitions. I offer walking therapy as well as virtual therapy to clients located anywhere in California.
-
I am based in Los Angeles and offer virtual therapy & in-person walking therapy to clients throughout California.
-
While we do talk, therapy also includes slowing down and paying attention to body sensations as they arise. This helps the nervous system experience safety in the present moment, allowing insight to turn into real change rather than remaining intellectual.
-
No. Many clients are active in twelve step, while others are exploring recovery in different ways. Therapy can complement twelve step or stand on its own.
-
Yes. Somatic therapy can be very effective online because it focuses on internal awareness and present-moment experience rather than physical location.
