ABOUT EUGENIA

In my earlier career as an actor and acting teacher, I discovered that my students were experiencing deep healing and transformation in my classes. Ultimately, the satisfaction of guiding students to become great actors paled in comparison to the gratification of helping people become happier, more fulfilled human beings.

In 1991 I had my own healing experience which led to my developing the somatic process, Empathic Body Processing. This technique has been taught to other therapists and has been the cornerstone of my private practice as well as in my work at the Center for Healthy Sex,  and at other trauma and addiction centers, where I led the  experiential sessions of the intensive outpatient programs.

In 1992 I was fortunate to be a part of psychologist John Cogswell's research team exploring and developing a body-mind technique called Walking in Your Shoes. I have continued to use this transpersonal process -- as well as Empathic Body Processing, Brainspotting, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and other processes -- in my private practice, workshops, and retreats in Los Angeles, New York, Germany, and Hawaii.

I hold a Master of Arts Degree from Antioch University Los Angeles in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Spiritual and Depth Psychology. I received further training in Brainspotting, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused Psychotherapy (EFT).
