I’m Bridget Kuzma, a somatic trauma therapist and board-certified art therapist. I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, helping them reconnect with themselves and find more ease, clarity, and stability. I maintain a limited caseload to support depth-oriented, individualized care for clients seeking highly specialized trauma treatment.

My approach is grounded in the understanding that trauma is something the body holds. I integrate somatic therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy to support healing at both the emotional and nervous system level, especially when experiences are difficult to put into words.

I believe each person has an innate capacity for healing and a unique path toward it. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced, and attuned to your individual needs. Together, we create a space where you can explore your experience, build regulation and self-trust, and begin to shift long-standing patterns in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.

My background includes over a decade of clinical work with adults, children, and families in medical, community, and educational settings. I have provided therapy in hospitals, non-profits, and schools across New York, Washington, DC, and Maryland.

I completed my graduate training in art therapy at Pratt Institute and my clinical training at Mount Sinai Hospital, where I specialized in working with patients and families in palliative care and medical settings.

My work has included supporting individuals through:

• trauma and developmental trauma

• attachment and relational challenges

• medical experiences and chronic illness

• grief, bereavement, and end-of-life care

Earlier in my career, I spent several years working at the National Institutes of Health, where I supported families navigating complex medical experiences. That experience continues to shape my respect for whole-person, compassionate care.

I am trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a somatic approach to trauma that supports nervous system regulation and the integration of past experiences. My work is informed by both neuroscience and experiential therapies, while staying grounded in a warm, relational approach.
