Homeostasis
Gentle Returning to Delicate Balance in Body and Life

Beneath the surface of everyday life, many of us carry a quiet weight - anxiety, fear, disconnection, or the repeating echoes of past pain. At times, we may feel overwhelmed, lost, or unsure of how to be, or how to meet the small and large challenges life brings. These struggles are real. And they deserve to be met with care - not with judgment. No one should have to stay with their struggle alone.

In my practice, I offer a compassionate, trauma-sensitive space - supported by integrative therapeutic methods like IFS, EMDR, and polyvagal-informed care - where your experiences are welcomed and your healing process is gently supported. Together, we explore the effects of emotional overwhelm, low mood, anxiety, painful life experiences, or anything that requires attention inside you. Parallel to that, we gradually reconnect with the strength, clarity, resilience, and joy already present within you.

Healing is not about reaching perfection. It’s about learning how to return to safety, to connection, and to the delicate, dynamic balance of daily life, a life with more presence, ease, and possibility.

Paata Alaverdashvili

Specialized in Internal Family Systems, EMDR, & Polyvagal Theory

Hi, I’m Paata Alaverdashvili — a psychotherapist, trainer and a learning facilitator based in Tbilisi, Georgia. My work weaves together Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR therapy, and polyvagal-informed approaches to support healing and integration on both individual and group levels.

Whether I’m guiding a therapy session, facilitating mental health and trauma-sensitive training for organisational teams, or exploring the neuroscience of resistance and resilience, I hold space for transformation with presence, compassion, and curiosity. Welcome to my digital home — a place where you’ll find my offerings, inspirations, and ongoing offers in mental health, trauma integration, and organisational development.

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by.

I'm Paata Alaverdashvili — a psychotherapist, trainer, and learning facilitator committed to trauma-sensitive care, social healing, and emotional resilience. My work lives at the intersection of nervous system wisdom, personal healing, and collective transformation.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Psychological Trauma Studies, and I’m trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR therapy, and polyvagal-informed practices. My approach blends clinical precision with relational depth — drawing from evidence-based methods while always meeting people with presence and compassion.

But my journey didn’t begin in therapy rooms alone. For many years, I was deeply involved in civic activism — organizing, facilitating, and supporting grassroots movements and self-organized groups in Georgia, the South Caucasus and Central Europe. That experience taught me not only the importance of systemic change, but also the emotional cost of burnout, disconnection, and unprocessed trauma within collectives. It continues to inform how I support organisations in creating emotionally intelligent, co-regulated, and trauma-sensitive environments.

Because healing is not only a private act — it's relational, cultural, and political. And together, we can build spaces where the nervous system can breathe, and people can connect and belong.

Services

Individual Therapy

In our sessions, I gently accompany you on the path of reconnection, supporting your nervous system’s return to balance and helping you access the inner resources that have always been within you.

Over time, many clients experience greater emotional clarity, steadier self-regulation, and a renewed sense of calm, confidence, and inner coherence.

As your inner system settles, the capacity to connect with others also deepens - relationships become more meaningful, boundaries more compassionate, and connection more easeful.

Every part of you is welcome here.

I support groups and organizations in building emotionally intelligent and nervous-system-friendly environments—spaces where safety, resilience, and connection can grow.

Areas of work

Painful Memories

I support individuals gently process painful memories—supporting the integration of past experiences, restoring emotional resilience and inner safety.

Transforming Conflict

The sessions will support you confidently navigate conflicts in different contexts with more clarity, groundedness, and care—building the inner capacity for dialogue, boundaries, and repair.

Emotion-Focused

Whether you're feeling anxious, low on energy, or stuck in a fog of low motivation, our sessions will support you in a gradual return to clarity, steadiness, and emotional engagement.

Restoring Inner Ballance

My work focuses on building the inner resources to restore balance when challenges arise, to reconnect after moments of disconnection, and to find steadiness within the natural rhythm of life, rather than looking for a static state of harmony.

Cultivating Resilience

Through a trauma-informed lens, we cultivate resilience as a flexible strength at the sessions—supporting individuals to meet life’s challenges with greater clarity, ease, and inner trust.

Building Healthy Relationships

We support clients in development of healthy, fulfilling connections rooted in trust, boundaries, and emotional safety. As you reconnect with yourself, the capacity for deeper relationships grows.

Work Approaches

IFS - Internal Family Systems

IFS is a compassionate and scientifically grounded, evidence-based approach that helps us understand the inner landscape of our emotions, thoughts, and body responses. It’s based on the idea that we are made up of different “parts” - fear, shame, anxiety, anger, etc., each with its own role or protective strategy. Sometimes these parts carry burdens from past experiences and start to conflict with each other or overwhelm us.

In IFS, we don’t pathologise these parts — we welcome them with curiosity and care. Through a body-aware, relational process, we help those parts feel safe enough to soften, so that our deeper Self — the calm, confident, compassionate core — can lead. It’s a process of deep listening, integration, and inner reconciliation.
