Are you curious about ways you can integrate mindfulness into the moment-to-moment fabric of your therapy sessions with clients, rather than just using it as an add-on? Do you want more tools for including the body in therapy? Have you heard about Hakomi but haven’t had a chance to try it out?
Mindfulness, experiential exercises, and the body-mind connection offer direct access routes to clients’ deeply held patterns and beliefs. Instead of just talking about things, clients experience them directly and therefore gain deeper insight as well as tools for change. This type of work creates aliveness and creativity for therapist and client alike.
This workshop is an opportunity to learn the basic skills of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology, a method that has been utilizing mindfulness and the body for over 40 years.
About Hakomi
Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology offers an elegant, comprehensive and highly effective approach to human change. Hakomi combines mindfulness, unique and powerful somatic techniques, and a focus on present experience to access and transform deeply held, life-limiting core beliefs. Hakomi is a pioneer in integrating the use of mindfulness in the human change process. It’s backed by thousands of hours of clinical applications and research into the neurological underpinnings of mindfulness. Psychotherapists can successfully use Hakomi in a wide range of applications including individual, couples and family therapy and group work. The Hakomi Method also offers cutting-edge skills for coaches, health professionals and others who work to support human change and growth.

David Fish, MA, LMFT
Certified Hakomi Therapist
and Teacher
David is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LFMT 52446). He has been a Certified Hakomi Therapist since 1996. Cultivating mindfulness and compassion are central threads that run through all of his work, and since he sees awareness and change as best served by flexibility and the ability to perceive things from multiple perspectives, he also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Focusing, and relational psychodynamic approaches. David teaches Hakomi as an adjunct professor at California Institute for Integral Studies, and also leads DBT groups and sees clients at the DBT Center of Marin, where he helps people who struggle with intense emotions and impulsive actions, or borderline personality disorder. David is a seasoned meditator, and his warm, collaborative, down-to-earth teaching style is lively, well-informed and human.
