Dr. Cacky Mellor, Ph.D.
Boston, MA
Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist/Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
Hi there! I’m Dr. Cacky and I have spent the past 15 years studying the power of words on the body, mind, soul, and society. In my undergrad, I studied art therapy and holistic psychology at Lesley University. After which I received my Masters of Education in art-based activism and social entrepreneurship from Lesley’s Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences.
While adjunct teaching and deepening my embodied practice, I earned my PhD in Depth Psychology with an emphasis in Somatic Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute.
I have cultivated a diverse somatic toolkit to support client’s on their healing journey. I am a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator, provisional Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and RYT-500. Additionally, I am an experienced Reiki Master practitioner and have done training in energy work, embodied social justice, EFT, NLP, and somatic attachment therapy. I am also a non-denominational reverend. I draw from her eclectic background to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
My current work is centered around the internalization of language, narrative, and trauma on a somatic level and how it affects interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. I am deeply passionate about social justice, the arts, intergenerational trauma, and somatics.
I live in the Boston area with my beloved partner and cat.
