About Colleen Mpofu, MSW, RSW, SEP, RYT
Grounded in feminist values and trauma-informed principles, Colleen brings a passion for learning, dedication to evidence-based care, and a commitment to integrative, relational therapy. She is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and therapist, and the owner of a private practice supporting individuals, couples, and fellow practitioners through therapy and professional supervision.
With a Master’s degree in Social Work and certification as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), Colleen offers a deeply embodied approach that integrates nervous system regulation, relational attunement, and body-based awareness. She works with clients navigating medical trauma, betrayal trauma, women’s health concerns, and relationship challenges, and provides couples therapy grounded in attachment-focused and somatic frameworks to foster safety, connection, and repair.
Colleen also provides professional supervision and consultation for therapists and Somatic Experiencing students at all levels, supporting practitioners in building confidence, clarity, and skill. She draws on her experience as a registered yoga teacher to incorporate mind-body practices when helpful.
“My practice is devoted to helping individuals and couples heal, restore safety, and cultivate deeper connection.”
