Introducing Lea Konforte, RP (Q)
Hi, I'm glad you stopped by
My Home Office
Somatic Therapy and Nervous System Care
Healing begins with feeling safe, feeling deeply seen, and understood.
In my practice, I offer that kind of presence, one that listens not just to words, but to what lives beneath them. I serve as a mirror, gently helping clients recognize unconscious patterns that shape their lives, relationships, and sense of self.
My practice offers trauma-informed counselling in Toronto, rooted in somatic therapy and nervous system regulation. I support individuals, couples, and families with a wide range of challenges, always guiding them toward the root causes rather than surface-level symptoms. My approach is gentle and attuned; I never ask clients to relive their trauma. I draw on both clinical expertise and lived experience with trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, the early loss of my parents, and fertility challenges to support clients on their own path to healing, wholeness, and peace.
Using neuroscience-based modalities like EMDR, the Flash Technique, and Somatic Bridge, I help the nervous system process and release trauma, including childhood core wounds, without needing to speak about painful memories.
Healing Begins in The Body
Modern neuroscience and trauma therapy affirm what somatic traditions have long known: the body leads the way in healing. Nearly 80% of communication between the brain and body flows upward—from the body to the brain; shaping how we feel, respond, and regulate. This means our nervous system is constantly informing our sense of safety, connection, and ease.
In my Toronto-based practice, I offer somatic therapy that gently supports nervous system regulation and trauma resolution. Rather than forcing insight or revisiting painful memories, we invite the body to soften, release, and reorient toward safety. Healing doesn’t have to be re-traumatizing; it can be quiet, embodied, and deeply empowering.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to move beyond coping and into transformation. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relational challenges, neurodivergence, or the lingering effects of trauma, I offer a sanctuary where your nervous system can exhale and your inner wisdom can emerge. Together, we co-create pathways that honor your unique story and support your capacity to thrive.
