Somatic psychotherapy in New York and Maine.
We work with what your body has been holding, the story you were handed, and what runs deeper than both—ancestry, spirit, the unseen. If you have done therapy and come away understood but not changed, this is where that changes. Online throughout both states. In person in Waldoboro.

Our Team
Corinne Cappelletti, LMHC, LCPC, MFA, RSMT-E
Co-Founder
I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups on communication, mood, stress, sleep, chronic pain, and energy, with a particular focus on conception, birth, and early parenthood. My specialty is trauma healing— sexual, childhood, and intergenerational—alongside grief, soul-purpose, spiritual practice, and religious and spiritual trauma. My approach is somatic and body-centered: somatic movement therapy, Gestalt, trauma- sensitive yoga, mindfulness, and energy work. With couples I draw on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I have an affinity for people in caregiving and healing roles, and I offer clinical supervision to other therapists.
Telehealth across New York and Maine; limited in-person in Maine.
Jason Maas, LMHC, LCPC, MFA
I offer somatic, depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals and groups. I work most often with space holders and healers, with artists, writers, and musicians, with fathers and men doing their own work, and with highly sensitive people, empaths, and caregivers. People come to me with anxiety, grief, trauma, burnout, conflict in relationships and families, creative block, religious and spiritual trauma, and the particular exhaustion of holding space for everyone else. I draw on Jungian and depth psychology, Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing, Nonviolent Communication, and energy work, which I also teach in supervision.

Co-Founder
Francesca Walker, LMHC-D, NCC
Associate Body-Mind-Soul Clinician
I offer psychotherapy to adolescents, individuals, and couples working through anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and life transitions. I work with racial and gender identity concerns, cross-cultural tension, workplace challenges, family dynamics, and interpersonal and intergenerational trauma, including religious and spiritual trauma. I also work with entrepreneurs and founders, and with people caught in over-functioning and people-pleasing patterns. I am trained in the Gottman Method and bring an integrated body, mind, and soul approach to couples work.
Licensed in New York. Telehealth.
Patricia Ramirez, MHC-LP
Associate Body-Mind-Soul Clinician, Practicing under the supervision of Jason Maas, LMHC.
I work with creatives, healers, highly sensitive people, and emerging adults facing existential questions—individuals with rich inner worlds who are living with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I am here to bear witness to and help you heal trauma, including spiritual, sexual, and intergenerational trauma. I work with those struggling with body image and embodiment reclamation, and I hold space for people recovering from religious trauma and spiritual abuse, including yoga practitioners and teachers for whom traumatic memory has surfaced through their own practice. I offer a gentle, grounded, collaborative presence where you can feel deeply seen.

Somatic psychotherapy means we pay attention to what your body is doing while we talk—the held breath, the jaw that sets, the moment something in your belly tightens or goes still.
What you can explain and what you still carry are not the same thing. Maybe you have even told the story a hundred times—to a therapist, to a friend, to yourself at two in the morning—and it still sits in your chest. Working with the body as well as the story is what lets you find peace.
This is not an intellectual idea. It is a felt sense, and you will know it when it happens.t goes here

We are not worthy.
The world is out to get us.
Emotions cannot be trusted.
Obedience and respect are the same thing.
Someone has to be right and someone has to be wrong.
Looking hard at those beliefs—where they came from, whether they were ever true, whose interest they served—is a great deal of this work. When the story changes, the choices change. The cathartic shifts still happen in the body, but the mind gets us there, and lets us conceive of something larger than ourselves.
-
Concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are shaped by personal history—and by ancestral inheritance and the collective pain present in the world. Conventional framing tends to locate all of it inside the individual. Medication and diagnosis help many people, and we work alongside both. We just find the picture is usually wider than one person's history.
What you carry is not all yours. Some of it was handed down—beliefs, fears, loyalties, griefs that began before you did—by a family, a lineage, a culture, or a system built to take. Much of the work is learning what is yours and what you can set down. It is a relief when that begins, and what opens is connection—to intuition, to nature, to each other, to those who came before, to what cannot quite be seen.
What remains when the rest is set down is not a self you built all alone. It is older and humbler than that, and it tends toward care.
There is no wrong way to have a mind, a body, or a life. We work with neurodivergent and highly sensitive people, and across the full range of human difference—race, gender, sexuality, relationship structure, faith, body, and class.
Where We Practice
Psychotherapy
Shadowlight is a telehealth practice. Corinne Cappelletti and Jason Maas are licensed in New York and Maine; Francesca Walker and Patricia Ramirez are licensed in New York. Sessions are held online with residents of the states where your clinician is licensed, with limited in-person availability in Maine.
Holistic Help
Our non-clinical offering—one-to-one sessions, groups, ritual and ceremony, and body-mind practice—is available to people anywhere, regardless of where you live. Holistic Help is not psychotherapy and is not a substitute for it.
Sessions run 50 to 60 minutes. We offer a sliding scale based on financial need, because meeting people where they are is a core part of our ethos. Our sliding scale begins at $75, with limited availability at that end. If cost is the thing standing in your way, say so when you reach out and we will talk it through.
