I’m Bridget Kuzma, a somatic trauma therapist and board-certified art therapist. I work with women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, helping them reconnect with themselves and find more ease, clarity, and stability.

My approach is grounded in the understanding that trauma is not just something we think about—it’s 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.
