Welcome to Sweet Somatic Therapy
I’m so glad you’re here
Healing from trauma isn’t meant to be done alone, and it doesn’t have to happen sitting across from someone in a traditional office. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee working with The Equine Healing Collaborative, where I blend the wisdom of horses with evidence-based approaches to help people reconnect with their bodies, their sense of safety, and themselves.
My practice centers on trauma and PTSD, drawing on Somatic Experiencing and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to create a healing space that goes beyond words. I have a particular passion for supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, as well as those exploring sexuality and intimacy after trauma. I work with individuals of all ages and welcome anyone whose life has been shaped by difficult experiences.
I also bring training in therapeutic yoga (RYT-500), TRE/Neurogenic Yoga, and HeartMath—body-based tools that help us explore sensation, tension, and what your nervous system is holding. Sometimes the body knows things that words can’t quite capture, and these modalities give us ways to listen.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions are held in person in Yorba Linda, CA. Somatic Experiencing sessions are available both in person and remotely, making this work accessible wherever you are.
If you’re ready to begin, or simply curious about what this work might look like for you, I’d love to hear from you.
My Mission
I’m here because I know that trauma can make you feel like a stranger in your own skin—and I believe no one should have to stay in that place alone.
My mission is to offer a different kind of healing. One that doesn’t ask you to have all the words. One that honors what your body has been carrying. One that meets you with patience, and curiosity.
I do this work because I’ve witnessed what becomes possible when people are given the space to feel safe again—in their bodies, in connection, in their own lives.
Caroline Sweet, MFT Trainee, SEP, MA, CTNC, RYT-500
I’m Caroline, a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I’m also a Health Coach and RYT-500, with additional training in TRE/Neurogenic Yoga, HeartMath, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Before finding my way to this work, I spent years in research. I loved the intellectual rigor, but the chronic stress eventually caught up with me—and my body let me know in ways I couldn’t ignore. That experience sent me on my own healing journey, one that taught me firsthand how trauma and stress live in the body, and how powerful it can be when we finally learn to listen.
That journey is what led me here. I wanted to help others find what I had to fight so hard to discover: that healing isn’t just about understanding what happened, but about helping your nervous system feel safe enough to let go.
I am grateful to be completing my externship with The Equine Healing Collaborative under the supervision of Jennifer Fenton, LMFT.
