Laya F Seghi, LCSW
Safely release the stress that holds you back from living your life fully. Your body remembers the unresolved issues that your mind forgets. Through muscle testing, those old emotional & physiological responses can be identified and gently transformed. A licensed psychotherapist, Laya has over 30 years of experience treating anxiety, depression and trauma.

Through deep listening and a range of treatments to relieve stress, she empowers clients to access the answers that lie within. She considers her profession to be a joy and a privilege. Using a holistic mind-body approach, Laya helps clients balance their nervous system and achieve harmony between the conscious and unconscious minds.
Services
Before beginning treatment, I ask clients for a lot of information, so it seems only fair that I share some information about myself and my treatment philosophy. My husband, the artist Tom Seghi, and I had a 44 year relationship before he died suddenly in 2011, leaving me with three beautiful children, six grandchildren and a heart full of fond memories.
Therapy fees range between $125 for a half session to $250 for a full session. Upon request, a fee reduction may be allowed in consideration of individual circumstances. Distance treatments are offered by phone or video and may be done with the client present or to be followed with an email or audio report of the treatment given.
After 2 weeks of back pain that made taking care of my infant very difficult, I called Laya for a session. I live in New Jersey. Laya emailed me the details of the session afterwards and I was amazed to feel immediate pain relief upon reading the information! My back pain dropped about 60-75% after one long-distance session, and continued to diminish each day thereafter.

Laya Seghi has done 3 BodyIntuitive sessions for me to date. All have been done remotely. The reports I receive from her re my sessions are detailed, precise, and many layered. My background is not in biology much less medicine so my understanding of exactly what was discovered and addressed during her work with me is limited. I can only speak to the results.
I came to Laya with decades old experience of painful whole body inflammation, depression and anxiety and an array of PTSD symptoms. I have addressed these through traditional medicine and psychotherapy and through an array of alternative

I can't recommend Laya highly enough!
Obviously I can only speak for myself since everyone is different, but Laya has provided me with very concrete, real help, in dealing with traumatic issues I had been carrying with me for many years. I am feeling the benefits already. I started therapy with Laya a few weeks ago. I was not sure about not being able to meet in person, it seemed strange to me. But then I decided to overcome my hesitation at doing a therapy by video. I'm so glad I did!
To say that I am happy with the results is an understatement: Right off the bat I witnessed results, tangible

I am so thankful to have found Laya. Working with her, has had a huge impact on my life. Her sessions are beyond intelligent and intuitive. She is warm, graceful and gets right to the heart of the issue. We did telehealth sessions and in honesty, it did not make a bit of difference in the effects of the work. I feel transformed and can only trace it back to the work Laya and I did together. Most remarkably, I never felt confused or disoriented at all, but rather felt fully guided by her heart and skill. She is incredibly rounded, merging her credentials in mental health with somatic modalities

My sessions with Laya have been truly wonderful, She is warm, talented, intuitive, and is highly educated on cutting edge healing practices.

She is clearly skilled and deeply educated in a variety of modalities, but doesn't come across as "clinical" or cold; in fact her deep capacity for compassion sets her apart from many other clinicians and therapists. Laya's ability to hold space is remarkable. Her respect for the work and for her clients is clear.

And most importantly, she is someone who, rather than trying to "fix" people, has the tools to help them to heal

I came to Laya Seghi having done all the unearthing work I could do on some old wounds. I knew what they were and where they came from. There was nothing left to say with my voice and mind. My body needed the support and knowledge to move these wounds and process them through my system. Laya’s body of knowledge and loving supportive presence was perfect for my needs. I have explained it like this: My mind was like my old laptop computer. The processor was too full. It had worked so hard and gone so long acquiring more and more info. Laya’s work was like getting a new processor. Because we worked

Laya has been helping me for almost three years. She helped me clarify things and get to the answers I was looking for. She really cares about her patients and will do anything to support and guide them. Her office is very calming, comfortable, inviting and very conveniently located. It makes me feel right at home and open. Laya is not only very professional and knowledgeable but she is also an amazing woman from the inside out with an amazing heart. I highly recommend her.

If i could give Laya 10 stars, I would! When you work with Laya, you get someone who has decades of psychotherapy experience behind the extraordinary energy healing modalities she practices (NET, Psych-K, BodyTalk, EMDR, EFT -- which she refers to as "Beyond Talk Therapy"). She knows the human mind, the subconscious and the mind-body connections and how to go to the source of any issue, whether it's a phobia or an allergy or knee pain. It's remarkable what changes can and has facilitated. She is completely trustworthy and always looking out for your best and highest interest
