ABOUT ME

MY WORK

Metabolizing trauma is at the heart of what I do: moving from being the trauma to transcending it is a journey that brings you closer to belonging to yourself and to everything that surrounds you. As a body-centered and movement psychotherapist, I believe in including the wisdom of body, emotions, mind and soul to guide you toward resiliency. In working with individuals embedded in political contexts, I integrate different modalities, sensitivities and varied approaches to healing. I welcome plural and complex identities to explore their somatic dialogue through embodied practices and reconnect with our spiritual selves. This is also informed by more than 16 years of experience as a national and international educator and trainer. In addition to the therapy work, I also support therapists in their professional and personal path as a teacher, supervisor and mentor.

Christine Caldwell, PhD, LPC, BC-DMT, ACS

Professor Emeritus, Somatic Counseling Program, Naropa University

Kekuni Minton, PhD, LPC

Senior Faculty SPI

Laia Jorba is one of those rare therapists with such a phenomenal range of  multicultural, multilingual (Catalan, Spanish, English) and multidisciplinary (focus on gender and sexual identity,  culture, race and immigrant experience) approaches to psychotherapy.  As a faculty member of the Sensorimotor psychotherapy institute (and former faculty of Naropa and  Autonoma of Barcelona University) we at SPI are blessed to have her on our team. 

Laia Jorba is one of the most skilled, dedicated, and empathic therapists I have ever encountered. Supervising her work over the years has enabled me to witness, at a nuanced level, the way she connects with, supports, and empowers her clients. She embodies a set of skills that is rare to find – from personal caring to theoretical acuity to sensitive and powerful interventions designed with the clients’ unique circumstances in mind. Laia truly lives her commitment to the body’s role in healing by facilitating deeply experiential inquiries into the ‘what is’ of present moment states, and then helping the client to integrate these experiences into daily life. Her ethical values, combined with her commitment to social justice and embodied empowerment make her a treasure in our community.

Janine D'Anniballe, PhD

Director Moving Beyond Trauma, MHP

Laia draws from her immense knowledge of the the literature on traumatic stress as she works with clients in therapy. She builds trust quickly with clients and expertly facilitates people's process through the most difficult feelings and experiences. If you are looking for a teacher and therapist who really understands trauma from a holistic lens - look no further than Laia. Her dedication and passion for the field and for the clients that she works with is second to none.
