Ezra is a deep listener, a see er. In working with him, it is clear he has profound professional respect for each person who comes into his care. His respect has provided a space that feels safe, where I feel deeply seen, and I can be in my truth, no matter where I am. When I began working with Ezra, I had multiple very deep, old traumas. I was triggered terribly on a daily basis. I could not sleep and lived a somewhat isolated life. I was resistant to the idea of therapy because what I carried seemed so huge and impossible to ever reach. Through the work I have found connection to myself, in body, mind, and spirit, and to my family, community, and world. I can now feel a bond with my ancestors and family that wasn’t there before, and deep down I know I belong. And I am able to enjoy less triggers overall, and have better sleep and focus, thanks to my work with Ezra. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the work with Ezra, for being able to find the true me in the midst of my pain and my joy.

Although I have an educational and a professional background in counseling and have engaged in a great deal of my own internal work, I had never experienced the kind of somatic psychotherapy that Ezra practices. Therapy had always focused on the neck up, so to speak, leaving the rest of my body out of the therapeutic loop, at least consciously. Leaning into this different kind of healing work with Ezra, though, has proved to be enlightening, empowering and transformational, not only for my mind but for my body as well. I am coming to learn and to trust how much memory and innate wisdom is stored at a cellular and neurological level and that antiquated hard-wiring that once served me well as a child can be loosened and reconfigured into patterns that nourish my current adult life and growth. This work has not been easy but it has been crucial, and I remain profoundly grateful for it. Ezra is an authentic human being and a gifted therapist. As a genuine 'wounded healer', he knows what the landscape of this therapeutic journey looks like and continues to be a trusted traveling companion that embodies courage, understanding, humor, intelligence, insight and seemingly unending patience.

Ezra is an experienced and skilled supervisor. I directly benefited from the potency of his somatic technique when he guided me in healing a work related trauma several days after the occurrence. To this time I have not encountered any lingering symptoms or responses related to the incident. Ezra provided great care and attention in fostering both my clinical skills as well as my ability to communicate the logic and reasoning behind specific therapeutic interventions to both clients and fellow colleagues. In completing my supervision with Ezra, I felt completely capable of starting my own private practice as a clinical social worker.

I am grateful for the opportunity to make a statement about the work with Ezra, the life-saving restoration and healing and the pure joy it is to be put in touch with my body’s intelligences—to learn, to experience, to feel, and to be me, someone who does not have to remain hidden or alone and triggered daily, to live into my story in a different way—to be fully present. I feel such gratitude for Ezra’s deep listening and seeing, for his healing presence and guidance, for the extraordinary clarity he brings every day to those who sit with him and engage in this process.

Ezra is a conscientious and professional therapist. He puts his whole self into everything he does and will partner with you on your journey to health and well-being. He has helped me become a more grounded individual, confident at work, and settled in my life as a dad and husband. He uses a style that is slow, methodical, and full of intelligence and wit. Feeling into the somatic feeling self is something I learned directly from my work with Ezra.
