Somatics, IFS, & Nervous System Regulation for Individuals & Couples with CPTSD, ADHD, or AuDHD

A Neurodivergent-Affirming Somatic Approach to Healing Complex Trauma

Valerie Schrader offers holistic, relatable, evidence-based virtual support in Ohio & Globally

Let’s be real...

It's frustrating as hell to feel like you can't control your emotions, trust your experiences, especially when you've tried so hard to get past your past and deal with the overwhelm.

 

I often hear from new clients that:

  • They struggle to feel their emotions instead of intellectualizing them, something that talk therapy never helped them change.

  • Anxiety, stress, burnout, and hypervigilance overwhelm them to the point that they feel stuck.

  • They've tried everything, and yet nothing seems to change.

  • They feel like asking for help or receiving support makes them a burden.

You know where you’ve been, now’s your chance to live in a way you didn’t think possible

We live in a world that teaches us to mistrust & suppress our emotions, pathologizing normal responses to trauma. That's why it's so hard to break old patterns. Your brain's #1 job is to keep you alive, and your body helps protect you. When you've experienced trauma, it'll do that in very unhelpful and uncomfortable ways by maintaining old patterns and triggers.

 

That's why talk therapy, journaling, and trying to "think positively" or just "take a deep breath" haven't worked for you. But don't worry... you're not completely broken!

 

Because your body is remarkably resilient. Somatic healing can completely rewire the way your nervous system responds to making changes and feeling better. This isn't about fixing you, because you're not broken, and shame/judgment have no place here.

 

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space to validate your experiences, express your emotions, and develop better coping strategies as we collaborate to unravel the roots of your patterns.

Hey! I’m Val (or Valerie),

Your friendly, slightly feral Somatic Trauma Practitioner. I’m here to help you navigate the anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and endless cycles that make you feel like you’re failing at healing.

My approach blends nervous system repair, Inner Child Healing (IFS), and somatic practices adapted for neurospicy minds. I take a more down-to-earth, real-talk approach to this work because I wanna help you get to the root of the issues you're dealing with.

Beyond that, I wanna help you get past your struggles and develop strategies that make you feel more in control and get out of overthinking and overanalyzing to find some real peace (even in this chaotic world).

Whether you’re working with me 1:1, in my Somatic Healing Circle, or a part of the Feral Cycle Breakers Community, we’re in this together, and I’m here to help you connect the dots and find a path forward that meets you where you’re at.

What My Clients Are Saying…

  • Nadia

    "I would wholeheartedly recommend Valerie Schrader. She takes a truly unique approach, focusing on your intuitive pace and creating sustainable success, rather than pushing quick, one-size-fits-all solutions. Her guidance is practical and trauma-informed, with a gentleness that works with your nervous system, not against it. She’s honest, caring, and truly invested in your long-term well-being.. Working with Valerie has been a game-changer, and I can’t recommend her enough."

  • Mariah

    "In therapy, I used to intellectualize my issues, trying to 'fix' myself through understanding my past. With Valerie, I learned self-acceptance, tuning into my mind and body to make mindful decisions in the present. Her coaching encouraged me to connect with my own intuition and inner guidance.Therapy helped with surface-level understanding, but working with Valerie brought me to a place of self-trust and clarity. I’m perpetually grateful for the growth I’ve achieved with her."

  • Joely, Clinical Social Worker and Trauma Therapist

    "Valerie creates such a rare, nurturing space that allows for both internal reflection and connection. Each workshop balances self-regulation with communal support, where we can explore ourselves without judgment. It’s a space for real healing that speaks to the senses and connects the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual."

You don’t have to struggle so damn much!!!
