Shideh Lennon, Ph.D., SEP, Faculty, SEI

Shideh is a licensed clinical psychologist (NY, VA), Somatic Experiencing® faculty, and consultant in private practice in New York's beautiful Hudson Valley.

Shideh's work and teachings are centered on shared humanity, collaboration, warmth and compassion. From that foundation, Shideh uses her years of experience in relational psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing® to discover the nervous system's innate ability to reset and heal, regardless of the extent of the trauma.

After receiving her Ph.D. in clinical psychology, Shideh completed her Somatic Experiencing® training. She has completed additional training in Integrative Somatic Psychology and Inner Relationship Focusing. Shideh has also been a long-time practitioner of Zen and Mindfulness meditation, which adds additional depth to her teachings.

Born in Iran, Shideh left the country and emigrated to the United Kingdom in her early adolescence after the Iranian revolution in 1979, before settling on the east coast of the United States.

Shideh truly loves her work and feels fortunate to be able to give back to her students and clients the deep healing she has found in her own life. She feels most like herself when she is teaching, cooking/baking and laughing.
