THE EMBODY LAB · PRACTITIONER MENTORSHIP
Be mentored by the people whose work shaped this field.
A monthly case supervision and mentorship program with a rotating faculty every month for therapists, coaches, and somatic practitioners committed to the long work of mastery.
Founding member enrollment open
You didn't get into this work to stay on the surface.
You got into this work to make the impact you were meant for.
The work of becoming a great practitioner doesn't happen in the trainings. It happens in the years after — in the cases that stretch you, the moments you doubt yourself, the slow accumulation of clinical intuition that only forms when someone more experienced is in the room with you.
This is what supervision and mentorship offer that nothing else does. Not more information. Not another framework. The slow, relational shaping of who you become as a practitioner — over time, in the company of people who are inspired to support you in making the impact in the world you were meant for.
We already know healing happens in relationship. So does our own development as practitioners.
Why This Exists
The gap nobody is naming.
Our field has never had more training. It has rarely had less mentorship.
Practitioners are emerging from extraordinary certifications, then dropped back into private practice with no consistent place to bring their cases, their countertransference, their fatigue, or their evolving questions. The trainings end. The work doesn't.
This program closes that gap. Not with another certification. With ongoing, named mentorship from the people whose work shaped this field.
The information
not always the integration
The modalities
not always the mentorship
The clients
not always the containment
The drive
not always the community
What Makes This Different
Mentorship with the people you cite in your work.
There is a meaningful difference between having read someone's book and being supervised by them in the room with your own cases.
For most practitioners, the second has been functionally impossible. The faculty who shaped trauma-informed and somatic practice — Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Kai Cheng Thom — do not, as a rule, take on individual mentees.
This program creates a structured monthly room where that level of mentorship becomes part of your ongoing practice. Members are listed in The Embody Lab Practitioner Directory with the designation that they are being mentored by Embody Lab faculty.
Inside the Program

Monthly · 90 min
Monthly 90-Minute Live Case Supervision

Quarterly
Quarterly Mentorship Conversation
Four times a year, an open hour with the faculty — not for case work, but for the mentorship itself. The arc of your practice. How to sustain this work over decades. Come connect with the people who are now yours.

Public credibility
Listing in The Embody Lab Practitioner Directory
A public listing in our official directory with the formal designation that you are an actively mentored practitioner of The Embody Lab faculty — visible to clients, colleagues, and referral partners.

On-demand
A Recorded Somatic Therapy Session with Dr. Scott Lyons
A full somatic therapy session captured for study — pacing, attunement, intervention, repair. Watch the work at the level of nuance you cannot get from any textbook or lecture.

3-month access
Three-Month Access to Session Recordings
Each supervision is recorded and available on replay for three months — so you can return to the moments that mattered and integrate at the pace your nervous system allows.

How the Live Supervision Works
How the live supervision works.
A structured, respectful process for bringing your real work into the room.
-
1
Case submission opens one week before each live session. Members submit cases through a private form with clinical context, what you're working with, and what you'd like supervision on.
-
2
Selected cases are confirmed 24 hours before the live session. Selection ensures faculty can prepare and that the session can hold the case with appropriate depth.
-
3
The 90-minute live session is led by Dr. Scott Lyons with the month's guest faculty. Selected practitioners present briefly; faculty offer considered, trauma-informed supervision.
-
4
All client identifying information is protected. Submissions follow standard de-identification practices to ensure ethical handling.
-
5
Every session is recorded and available for three months — so the learning continues well past the live hour.
What Changes
What becomes possible when you stop practicing alone.
Something settles in the first few months. The quiet hum of am I doing enough, am I doing it right begins to ease — not because you have more information, but because you are no longer carrying it alone.
Your clinical intuition sharpens. You stop reaching for technique in moments that ask for presence. You begin to trust the slow, the small, the somatic.
Your nervous system changes. The work stops costing you what it used to. You leave sessions tired in the way good work makes you tired — not depleted in the way that has scared you before.
You become a practitioner clients can feel the difference of.
And, quietly: you stop being alone in the work you were called to do.
Who This Is For
This is built for you if you are:
A therapist, clinician, somatic practitioner, coach, healer, or helping professional doing real work with real people — and ready for a serious professional home.
- A graduate of an Embody Lab certification who isn't ready for the conversation to end.
- A licensed clinician integrating somatic and trauma-informed work into a traditional practice.
- A somatic coach or practitioner who wants the clinical depth and mentorship traditional coaching spaces rarely offer.
- A seasoned practitioner who has the credentials and the caseload, and now wants the peers and supervision to match.
- A newer practitioner who knows that mentorship — not more content — is what will actually shape you into the practitioner you want to become.
This is not for you if:
- You're looking for a content vault to binge and forget.
- You want guarantees, formulas, or a certificate at the end of 30 days.
- You're not actively seeing clients or building toward it.
- You're looking for spiritual bypass dressed up as professional development.
We're going to do real work here.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions you might be holding.
What are the dates & times of the Mentorship Circle?
Tuesday, June 23 — 2pm to 3:30pm ET (Faculty: Dr. Scott Lyons & Tracy Jarvis) Tuesday, July 28 — 2pm to 3:30pm ET Tuesday, August 25 — 2pm to 3:30pm ET Tuesday, September 29 — 2pm to 3:30pm ET More dates to be announced. Faculty will be announced at the beginning of each month at the latest.
Will each faculty member be live every month?
Our faculty rotates monthly — sometimes one guest faculty member, sometimes two. We cannot guarantee which faculty will be present in any given session. Faculty will be announced at the beginning of each month at the latest. The names listed above represent a sample of who is joining in the near future, and more faculty will be added to the rotation over time.
I already have so many trainings I haven't fully integrated.
That's exactly why this exists. This is not another training. It is the integration layer — the place where the trainings you've already done finally land in your body, your cases, and your practice.
What if my case doesn't get selected?
Selection ensures faculty can hold each case with the depth it deserves. But the value is not contingent on being selected. Watching faculty work with another practitioner's case is often where the deepest learning happens.
How is this different from local supervision?
Local supervision is essential, and this does not replace it. What this offers is the layer most local supervision cannot: senior faculty at the leading edge of somatic and trauma-informed work, with clinicians whose books are on your shelf.
I'm not sure I'm 'advanced' enough.
You don't need to be advanced. You need to be serious. We hold a range of experience levels intentionally, because seasoned and newer practitioners sharpen each other in ways homogeneous groups never can.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Case submissions follow standard de-identification practice. Recordings are accessible only to active members and only for the three-month window.
What if it isn't right for me?
You can pause or cancel your membership at any time. We'd rather have members who actively choose this each month than members who feel obligated.
What if I am already a member of the Therapist Directory?
We are working on a way to merge your accounts automatically, but in the meantime, please email us at info@theembodylab.com after your purchase and we will merge your accounts and remove any future recurring subscriptions for the Therapist Directory. Please note, no pro-rata refunds will be given. If you cancel your Mentorship Circle membership, your listing will also be removed including your Therapist Directory membership. You will have to enroll in the Therapist Directory again, separately. You can email us to retain your listing.
What if I am already an Embody Lab member?
We deeply appreciate your ongoing support and your commitment to this work. The Mentorship Circle is a separate membership level — it is not included in your existing Embody Lab membership, and the two memberships will remain separate. If you have questions about your current membership, please reach out to us at info@theembodylab.com.
