-- Embodi Therapy, a trusted mental health practice located in La Mesa, California, is expanding access to specialized, evidence-based therapy services designed to help high-performing adults break free from burnout, chronic stress, and emotional disconnection. Led by founder Melissa Stevenson, LMFT, and a growing team of somatic and NARM-trained clinicians, the practice offers a grounded, whole-person approach to mental health care for individuals and couples who are ready to stop running on empty and start living with genuine energy again. Services are available in person at their La Mesa office and via telehealth for clients throughout California.
As part of this expansion, Embodi Therapy welcomes Carissa Lane, M.A., AMFT, as its newest clinician. Carissa brings a distinctive integrative approach to her work with individuals, adults, and teens, specializing in anxiety, PTSD, grief, chronic stress, and nervous system regulation. Her practice bridges modern somatic tools, including Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems, with the grounded principles of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, creating a whole-person framework that supports clients in moving out of survival mode and back into a sense of ease and vitality. Carissa is currently accepting new clients and offers virtual appointments with daytime and evening availability.
The practice specializes in individual therapy, offering personalized support for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, life transitions, and the exhaustion that comes with over-functioning. Therapy sessions are designed to help clients identify and shift the deeply rooted patterns driving their stress, creating space for sustainable, meaningful change.
Embodi Therapy also provides couples therapy for partners looking to rebuild connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict with greater understanding. Using a relationally informed, somatic framework, clinicians support couples in developing the trust and tools needed for long-term relational health.
For those struggling with chronic stress and professional exhaustion, Embodi Therapy offers dedicated stress and burnout therapy. Drawing on Somatic Experiencing and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), therapists work with clients to complete unfinished stress cycles, restore nervous system balance, and rebuild a sustainable relationship with work, rest, and self.
