Laken Doty
Trauma-Informed Therapist Specializing in NSBI and Somatic Healing, Creator of Somatic Resonance™ — Integrating Sound and Energy-Based Practices
Hello, I’m Laken Doty, MSc — a Trauma-Informed Therapist at The Integration Room, specializing in NeuroSomatic Bilateral Integration™ (NSBI™) s a trauma-informed, nervous-system-based therapeutic approach developed within the Berrocal Method™️ by Dr. Elizabeth Berrocal. NSBI integrates bilateral sensory stimulation with somatic awareness and autonomic nervous system regulation to support adaptive processing, embodied integration, and restoration of self-regulatory capacity.
I am also the creator of Somatic Resonance™, a sound-based nervous system regulation method developed during my time living and teaching in South Korea, where I began studying sound frequency and its physiological impact on the body. Within this framework, energy-based and intuitive practices are integrated intentionally as complementary support.
My work brings together trauma-informed care, developmental insight, somatic healing, and shadow integration — all grounded in my background in forensic psychology and human behavior. I take an attuned, intentional approach, creating a space where clients can regulate, release, and reconnect with themselves in ways that feel sustainable and empowering.
Before moving to the Netherlands, I spent two years teaching in South Korea — an experience that shaped both my therapeutic presence and my heart. Working with children from diverse cultural backgrounds strengthened my ability to meet clients exactly where they are, communicate beyond language, and create safety through consistency and relational trust. This continues to inform my work with children, teens, and families today.
I work with a wide range of clients and tailor each session to honor the pace, history, and inner world of the individual in front of me. Whether supporting a child through art-based processing, guiding a teen through emotional regulation, working somatically with trauma patterns, helping couples reconnect, or assisting adults navigating stress, identity exploration, and nervous system healing — my sessions remain collaborative, warm, and responsive to the moment.
Who I Work With
Supporting emotional growth through creative + somatic expression
I help younger clients feel safe, understood, and empowered using developmentally warm approaches like art therapy, creative play, somatic calming tools, emotional awareness coaching, and gentle nervous-system regulation.
My work helps kids express big feelings, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of navigating their world.
