Individual Therapy.

  • We draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to treat mental health conditions such as Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Talk therapy can allow one to: challenge unhelpful thought patterns, process painful emotions, explore positive coping skills, and create balanced a mindset.

  • We emphasize a person-centered approach when confronting esteem, confidence, or self-worth issues. Talk therapy is neutral space to explore strengths, skills, and personal interests. It can also be helpful to (safely) process painful experiences that have contributed to low self-esteem.

  • Motherhood is life changing, exciting, and challenging. Postpartum mental health may include sadness, worry, intrusive thinking, obsessions and compulsions, and a general sense of overwhelm. We use evidence-based approaches to help new mothers sort through unique challenges, as well as holistic approaches to look at lifestyle habits, social support, and overall physical health.

  • There are many big moments we experience in this lifetime; this may include graduating college, becoming a parent, starting a new career (or leaving one), moving, divorce/navigating a break-up, or experiencing loss. It can be incredibly helpful to confide in a therapist during these times; talk therapy can offer relief, provide support, shed light on new perspectives, and instill hope.

  • Therapy can be beneficial when we are “getting to know ourselves” better. It is a very human thing to one day ask the bigger & existential questions in life such as: What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Talk therapy can provide support, neutrality, and perspective during this season of life.

  • Lack of stress management may manifest in various forms of dysregulation, including: mood swings, trouble sleeping, digestive issues, and/or burnout. Talk therapy can offer concrete tools and coping skills to effectively manage these experiences.

Succulent

Approach To Therapy.

  • In its simplest form, mindfulness is the act of noticing. It is the ability to be fully present & objectively aware of emotions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Mindfulness can be experienced through meditation, breathing exercises, stillness, sensory activation/deprivation, or visualization. Mindfulness allows for us to uncover habits/patterns through an objective, nonjudgmental lens. It is a process of viewing the “self” as objectively separate from our adaptive and maladaptive tendencies.

  • ACT is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that explores personal values, teaches psychological flexibility, and emphasizes acceptance. ACT incorporates mindfulness to show us that unpleasant/uncomfortable emotions are a normal and appropriate response to stress and hardship. It helps us get out of the “fixing” mindset, and, instead, into a state of acceptance in the mind and body. We begin to look at life as an experience, instead of a constant problem that must be solved.

  • Somatic therapy is considered a bottom-up, mind-body approach. It involves bringing awareness to the nervous system and physiological responses. This can include mindfulness, deep relaxation, and gentle movement. The purpose of a somatic approach is to create a sense of embodiment (a deeper connection to who you are at your core). Somatic interventions may include: instruction of self soothing techniques, grounding exercises, and energetic release.

  • REBT is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that aims to uncover unhelpful, irrational, or limiting beliefs about oneself and/or the world. This approach involves challenging core beliefs and embracing balanced thinking. REBT emphasizes self empowerment and action. Interventions may include reflection, reframing, journaling, and problem solving.
