Get to Know the Heart Behind the Work

Hi there, I’m Lauren Soutullo!

Embodied Practice is more than a therapy office— it’s a sanctuary for connection and healing. This work is deeply personal to me, and I’m honored to share my heart and passion with others as I support them in their journey.

I value being fully present and maintaining my own authenticity in our work together because I believe healing happens in the context of honest and human connection. Being true to myself as a therapist allows me to create a space where you can do the same. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I often see pieces of my own story mirrored in the lives of those I work with, reminding me of the shared humanity that connects us all.

Outside of the therapy room, I find my grounding in nature. Whether it’s yoga on the beach, a walk through my neighborhood, or simply pausing in the sunlight to take in the world around me, these moments bring me perspective and peace. I view nature as a co-regulator, and often bring up themes of nature in sessions.

I draw inspiration from the words and beliefs of others—whether through poetry, writings, or podcasts—and weave these insights into both my personal life and the work I do with clients. I’m always learning and unlearning, shedding and growing. I will never pretend to have all the answers. I will, however, sit with you in the darkness of the unknown, and, together, we will search for the light.
