Heart Doula | Private Sessions

Somatic Psychotherapy Rooted in the Intelligence of the Heart

A place where we pause more than we proceed.

Heart Doula sessions are a place to slow down and listen—to your body, your heart, and what is asking to emerge.

Together, we create the conditions for healing to unfold from within.

New clients begin with a complimentary connection call.

IS THIS WORK FOR YOU?

You’ve spent years doing the work.

You understand your patterns.
You know where the pain began.
You may even know what needs to change.

And still, something remains.

Your mind understands, but your body may still be carrying what insight alone has not been able to shift.

This work begins where understanding alone is no longer enough.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

No two sessions are alike.

We begin by slowing down and listening.

I listen for what emerges—the words that carry something deeper, the places the body braces or softens, the sensations, emotions, images, or knowing that invite us to pause.

Rather than rushing past these moments, we stay long enough to listen.

From there, the work unfolds organically.

PROFESSIONAL FOUNDATION

I’m Jess Garet, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and somatic psychotherapist with 22 years of clinical experience.

My work honors the psychological, somatic, and spiritual dimensions of our lives—and the intelligence carried within the body.

A DEEPER COMPLEMENT TO TRADITIONAL THERAPY

Heart Doula sessions can stand on their own as psychotherapy or complement ongoing therapy—offering a deeper space to listen to what the body knows.

When helpful, I welcome collaboration with your existing therapist.

For Therapists & Referring Professionals 

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

90-MINUTE IMMERSIVE SESSION

For those wanting more spaciousness and depth.

Ninety minutes gives us time to follow what emerges without rushing the process—and to integrate what has been discovered through breath, meditation, sound, movement, or stillness.

For those seeking ongoing deep accompaniment, we may meet twice monthly, allowing time between sessions for the work to settle, integrate, and be lived.

Sessions are available in person in Fort Lauderdale and online.

BEGIN WITH A CONNECTION CALL

All new clients begin with a complimentary connection call before scheduling a private session.

This gives us a chance to meet, hear what is bringing you here, and sense whether working together feels aligned.

  • Working with Jess has undoubtedly changed my life. I’m so blessed to have worked with her this past year. Jess has the biggest heart, and it’s clear she cares deeply for all her clients. Her unique approach helped me discover myself and grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. Her consistent guidance and support have been transformational. She's extremely knowledgeable and talented—I learn something new every time I see her.

    I’m eternally grateful to have found her. There’s absolutely nobody as special as Jess. If you want to be the best version of yourself, with the help of the warmest and most compassionate woman, look no further.

    -Julia

  • Jess is unlike other therapists I’ve worked with and helps me find a sense of quietude from within. This is so special and valuable, given my tendency to overthink and become anxious. Every session is like opening a bottle of kombucha—I become aware of this lid I’m releasing, the pressure that builds over weeks without me realizing it until I sit in front of her. The beginning is always fizzy, but by the end, the sediment settles, and I can listen in a new way. I savor the refreshing messages Jess and I share together. She is a magical being—compassionate, non-judgmental, and deeply attuned to body language and somatic healing. Jess is not only a gifted listener and interlocutor, she models what it means to truly listen. I'm so grateful for the time we have together.

    ~Jenn

  • Jess has completely changed my life and helped me discover who I truly am. Our sessions feel like a fresh, deep breath, allowing me to let go and love all parts of myself and those around me. I’m extremely grateful to have found her. Her techniques, comforting voice, and insights are uniquely transformative and effective. She always goes above and beyond, offering amazing invitations for those wanting to deepen their personal journey.

    If you're looking for an understanding, open-minded, and warm therapist, she is without a doubt your person. I can't recommend Jess enough—she is a light.

    – Val

  • Connecting with Jess is nourishment for the soul. Jess is a deeply intuitive being who can feel energy, sense meaning beyond words, and listen compassionately. She brings deep love into our interactions, encouraging me to, as she says, "connect to the love that I am and was meant to be." Because Jess is trained in multiple therapeutic and healing modalities, she can bring the energy and the healing work that I need in any particular conversation. I am beyond grateful to Jess and all that she has brought into my life.
