Soma Roots Therapy

If you've landed here, there's a decent chance you're tired. Tired of therapy that talks about your body without ever really talking to it. Tired of approaches that treat healing like a productivity project. Tired of trying to fit yourself into a framework that wasn't built for people like you.

Soma Roots Therapy was built for exactly that kind of tired.

We're a somatic, queer- and trans-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, decolonial practice serving folks across Oregon and Washington via telehealth. Our work is grounded in body liberation and Body Trust® frameworks, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, and complex trauma treatment — woven together with a genuine commitment to decolonial practice. That means we don't pathologize survival. We don't dress up systemic harm as personal dysfunction. And we definitely don't rush your healing to meet someone else's timeline.

We believe your nervous system isn't broken — it's been doing exactly what it needed to do to keep you alive and intact. Healing here isn't about fixing you. It's about building enough safety, trust, and spaciousness that your body can finally exhale.

Soma Roots is founded and led by Del Knight (they/them), PsyD, LPC, LMHC — a Certified Body Trust® Specialist, Approved Clinical Supervisor, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) with over a decade of specialized experience with queer, trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive communities.

If you're queer, trans, neurodivergent, fat, navigating religious trauma, or simply someone who's been told you're "too much" for one too many rooms — you might feel right at home here. We're currently accepting new clients for telehealth across Oregon and Washington.
