Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises. Using these tools, MBCT therapists teach clients how to break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a downward spiral into an anxious or depressed state so they will be able to fight off/ not attach to automatic negative thoughts before they take hold.

Somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses a combination of breath work, body awareness, physical movement, and psychotherapy for holistic healing. In addition to talk therapy, mind-body exercises and other physical techniques are utilized to help release the pent-up tension that negatively affects a patient’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

This type of therapy is often used to treat conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. It helps people process and release trauma stored in the body.

Get creative with us! Art therapy is a great alternative to traditional talk therapy. 

Through integrative methods, art therapy engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal articulation alone. Kinesthetic, sensory, perceptual, and symbolic opportunities invite alternative modes of receptive and expressive communication, which can circumvent the limitations of language. Visual and symbolic expression gives voice to experience, and empowers individual, communal, and societal transformation.

A holistic method of mental health therapy through which you may develop awareness, identify strengths and practice techniques for mental and physical wellness. This type of therapy is appropriate for all levels of physical fitness and all ages.  It is especially effective in working with eating disorders, stress, depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, adjustment, & body image.

Yoga therapy respects individual differences in age, culture, religion, philosophy, occupation, and mental and physical health. The knowledgeable and competent yoga therapist utilizes Yoga Therapy according to the period, the place, and the practitioner’s age, strength, and activities.

EMDR is primarily used to treat PTSD but can also be used to treat a myriad of other diagnoses such as Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, and Gender Identity Disorders. 

Through the use of eye movements, EMDR allows patients to reprocess traumatic and/or disturbing experiences,  EMDR therapy doesn’t require talking in detail about a distressing issue. EMDR instead focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts or behaviors that result from a distressing experience (trauma). This allows your brain to resume a natural healing process. 

EMDR relies on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, a theory about how your brain stores memories.

When you undergo EMDR, you access memories of a trauma event in very specific ways. Combined with eye movements and guided instructions, accessing those memories helps you reprocess what you remember from the negative event.

That reprocessing helps “repair” the mental injury from that memory. Remembering what happened to you will no longer feel like reliving it, and the related feelings will be much more manageable.

Nature therapy, also called ecotherapy, is the practice of being in nature to nurture heling. 

While this often encompasses being outside, this can also be done inside the office. 

Naturea baed therapy can include walking outside, ocean breath, ocean themed body scans paired with ocean sounds, nature based art therapy, and more. 

These therapies start under the guidance of a clinican but our clinicians can also guide you on practices you can do at home both inside and outside. 

Grief counseling, also known as bereavement, is a form of therapy intended to help you cope with loss, like the death of a partner, family member, friend, colleague, or pet. 

The death of a loved one can cause both emotional and physical pain that can sometimes impair your ability to function. 

In the short term, grief counseling can help you navigate the aftermath of a loss and make practical decisions, like funeral arrangements. 

In the long run, it can help you accept the loss of your loved one and adapt to life without them. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a psychotherapy model that views the mind as a system of multiple "parts" or subpersonalities, led by a core "Self". The goal of IFS is to access the Self and heal "parts" by encouraging them to release their extreme roles and work together harmoniously.

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal. 

 It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships and stepping into life with the 8 Cs: confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness

CAM for mental health allows patients the ability to link emotional and nutritional nourishment. It can help increase mindfulness and decrease dissociation between nutrition and mental health. It assesses how certain foods and herbs can affect an individual's overall stress and pain in both the mind and the body. Often, utilizing CAM for mental health can aid in decreasing dependance on psychiatric medications. 

We offer an open and exploratory approach to gender dysphoria for both the person experiencing it and their parent(s)/guardian(s). We do this through traditional modalities such as CBT, CPT, and ACT; research exploration, psycho-education; and holistic approaches to addressing gender dysphoria. 

We offer a supportive environment to openly and thoroughly explore options, challenge any identified cognitive distortions or beliefs about gender and transitioning/de-transitioning, increasing distress tolerance skills, increasing self esteem, exploring how family and societal messaging may be affecting beliefs about gender and transitioning/de-transitioning, exploring long and short term benefits and consequences of medical intervention, and providing psycho-education about the correlation of emerging  gender dysphoria in certain demographics and occurring disorders

We  are not here to convince you/your child to or not to transition/de-transition. We are here to help you make an informed decision about your/your child’s health and treatment. We take our time in this delicate exploration process and do everything in our power to ethically and respectfully care for our patients to ensure that they are in a healthy mental state to make their own informed decisions about their care. 

Unfortunately, miscarriages happen more than people think. It is not something that is openly or widely talked about in our society and this can leave many people struggling to find support when something so devastating and heartbreaking happens to them. 

There are many gaps in care for people who have experienced a miscarriage and/or are struggling with infertility. 

We aim to bridge that gap and provide a service where people struggling with infertility or who have experienced a miscarriage can access support and learn how to heal from feelings of distress, guilt, shame, jealousy, inferiority, and/or brokenness. 

While abortions are a fairly common occurrence in our society, every person has different experiences. This is due, in part, to different communities, supports, backgrounds, religious beliefs, and other factors that determine their feelings about it. 

Unfortunately, our society does not talk enough about the emotional and physical distress that women often experience before, during, and after abortions 

We are not hear to take a political stance on abortion or judge anyone who has had one. We do not influence our patients' decisions to move forward with one or not. 

We are here to offer our patients a place to explore, discuss, and process the complex emotions when making this tough decision. We also hold space and assist  our patients to process and heal from any distress that occurs after a procedure, weather the procedure was last week or 10 years ago.  

More and more people are looking to explore their path in adulthood. Some people may have a religious background and some may have never been to a church or even glanced at a bible. If you are someone who is looking to explore your faith, we can offer a space to do so. 

What it is not: 

Our clinicians are not here to push any personal beliefs onto you. Some of our clinicians do not have faith based practices and other have experience with many different ones. It is not our aim to influence our patients based on our own personal beliefs. 

If you are not looking to explore your faith, then this will not be part of your tartlet plan or sessions. This options I only for people who ask for this and consent to this exploration. It is not pushed on anyone who is not curious about it or wanting to engage in it. 

Why it may look like: 

Our clinicians' aim is to help people who are seeking explore how their faith in childhood affects their life and beliefs as an adult. We explore any religious trauma that may have occurred and aid patients in finding resources to explore what faith means to them as adults  finding that they belief nd how they want to practice now. 

Therapy is always consensual, however, services may include the following, if that is what the patient is seeking. 

• Exploration of how your spiritual beliefs impact anxiety, grief, or view of yourself
• Leaning into your own values to make decisions
• Utilizing your faith to create meaning and purpose in your life
• Strengthen your sense of self by exploring your religious or spiritual values and beliefs.

• Integration of beliefs: Your therapist may work with a client to weave their faith into the therapeutic work, not as a separate entity. 
• Holistic approach: This method recognizes the connection between mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and addresses challenges from a broader perspective. 
• Incorporation of practices: Faith-based practices like prayer, meditation, or scripture study can be used as tools for reflection, centering, and healing for those that request it and would like to incorporate it into their therapeutic journey. 
• Addressing religious trauma: This approach can also help those who have experienced negative or traumatic effects from their religious upbringing by helping them reframe beliefs about a higher power. 
•
