About Iris Beshara, LCSW, SEP

I am a bilingual somatic therapist specializing in trauma-informed care. My journey into this field has been profoundly influenced by my own experiences with multiple sclerosis and my quest for holistic healing.

As a mother of two young children—a lively two-year-old and an adventurous six-year-old—I understand the unique challenges that come with balancing personal and family life. Discovering Somatic Experiencing and EMDR has not only helped me address my own experiences but also revealed the powerful connection between our bodies and our emotional well-being. It ignited a passion in me to be with others while they navigate their own healing journeys. 

Thank you for considering me to be a part of journey. I look forward to supporting you as you embrace your healing process and discover the strength within you.

I'm honored in being a space holder and being alongside your journey of healing.
