Laura Gallant Bulchis

Welcome

Hearing our intuition amidst the rush & noise of daily life can be challenging. Looking inside ourselves may feel overwhelming. Change often feels scary to trek alone. Having a partner in healing fosters the courage & tools to reach for meaningful goals. In a complex & dynamic world, we empower ourselves when we attune within & unfold our gifts from the inside out. I serve individuals, couples and youth. My somatic orientation combines IFS/parts work, EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, creativity, and psycho-education. I lean on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and a Developmental Model when working with couples. I specialize in relationships, communication coaching, empowerment, and developmental trauma. I celebrate the use of ketamine assisted psychotherapy to promote creative ways to rewire the brain and body, promoting transformation.

About

Prior to launching Attune Within, I studied at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy as a private practice trainee, served dual-diagnosed homeless in San Francisco residential treatment, and provided in-community therapy to foster youth & families in Alameda County. My earlier life included journalism, pop culture blogging, teaching meditation/yoga, legal advocacy, cross-cultural living, and two decades of personal growth practices. I learn from my clients everyday and am always expanding my practice to meet new demands and respond to the needs of those I serve.

Background

Treatment Approach

The foundation of my helping orientation is relational, client-centered, embodied awareness that considers the various “shaping sites” to one’s identity. This intersectional framework contextualizes a person’s values, behaviors, and symptoms within environmental & ancestral influences. If people function as internally and externally relational systems, then each “part” within any “system” affects the whole. When bodies or relationships feel out of balance, it is important to identify and address factors leading to dysregulation, dis-equilibirum, or dis-ease. In my practice, a strong emphasis is placed on Self-awareness, adaptive communication, and neuroplasticity. Clients who find the most success with me are typically motivated to do deep inner work and maintain it through a curious, willing mindset. When it comes to KAP, my holistic approach includes preparation before, presence during, and integration after the ketamine experience so that you are supported throughout and empowered to derive the maximum benefit. Eligibility is determined in conjunction with a psychiatrist and medical team, while sessions are facilitated by me in a trauma-informed, client-centered manner that considers your treatment goals. If you would like to learn more or explore the possibility of receiving KAP with me, please contact me to set up a consultation. Thank you!
