WHO WE ARE
At Black Hills Somatic Solutions, we believe your symptoms deserve to be considered in the context of the whole person. Every individual’s experience with chronic pain, anxiety, stress, or other persistent symptoms is different. That’s why we look at the connection between the brain, body, and nervous system alongside your history, experiences, and goals.
Black Hills Somatic Solutions was founded to bring together modern neuroscience and compassionate, individualized mental health care. We believe that understanding how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, pain, and life experiences can offer another way forward– one that validates what you’re experiencing while helping you develop new ways of responding.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO HEALING
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Black Hills Somatic Solutions, we believe effective care starts with understanding. When symptoms are persistent or difficult to explain, it can be easy to focus solely on managing the next symptom or finding the next solution. Our approach looks more broadly at the patterns connecting your experiences, your nervous system, and the way your brain and body respond.
Education is an important part of that process. When you understand why your nervous system may be responding the way it is, symptoms can begin to feel less confusing or frightening. Therapy then becomes an opportunity to develop new skills, build awareness, and practice different ways of responding.
OUR APPROACH
The brain and body are constantly communicating. Your nervous system responds to what you experience, takes in information from your environment, and helps prepare you to respond to stress or potential danger. These protective responses are important, but sometimes they can become overly sensitive or remain active longer than necessary.
Our approach considers these patterns alongside your individual history and circumstances. We use neuroscience-informed education and evidence-based therapies to help you recognize what may be happening, develop new responses, and feel more confident navigating your symptoms.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We know that choosing a therapist is about more than finding someone with the right credentials. It’s also about finding someone you feel comfortable with and a setting where you can be heard.
At Black Hills Somatic Solutions, we prioritize individualized care and meaningful therapeutic relationships. We take time to listen, explain what we’re seeing, answer your questions, and involve you in decisions about your treatment. Rather than applying the same approach to everyone, we adapt our treatment to you.

YOUR PATH TOWARD HEALING
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve spent months or even years searching for answers. At Black Hills Somatic Solutions, we’re here to guide you through every step of the healing process with compassion, education, and personalized care.
step 01
Every healing journey begins with understanding you. We’ll take the time to listen to your experiences, explore your symptoms, and learn about the factors that may be influencing your nervous system.
step 02
We’ll help you make sense of the brain-body connection and explain how your nervous system may be contributing to persistent pain, anxiety, sleep difficulties, or functional neurological symptoms. Understanding what’s happening is an important part of moving forward.
step 03
Using evidence-based therapies like Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and CBT-I, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
step 04
As you learn new skills and retrain patterns within the nervous system, you’ll gain confidence in your ability to manage symptoms, feel more connected to your body, and continue your healing long after therapy ends.
testimonials
Working with Tecie Turner-Newman at Black Hills Somatic Solutions has been genuinely life changing. Tecie helped me unravel my anxious brain, reconnect with my body, and stop living in constant fear of what my symptoms meant. Instead of fighting against my body, she taught me how to listen to it, trust it, and understand what it was trying to communicate.
