Edie Ye (she/her)

We all come from different paths and are on our journeys. Difficulties may arise if we do not feel aligned with an identity at any point in that journey, and I am here to provide support, warmth, and exploration of where you stand, including the depths of any difficulties, thoughts, and feelings that may arise.

With my holistic perspective encompassing the mind, body, and soul, I am attuned to life's deeper processes and cycles. I am receiving training from the Process Therapy Institute, a metta model developed by Carol and Don Hadlock, that supports illuminating the deeper process beyond the specific details that tie humans together.

Complex trauma and intergenerational trauma is a deep conditioning that may impact us and hinder us from thriving, particularly when we are unconscious of it. Becoming more aware of patterns, choices, and behaviors that have passed down to us that may not serve us allows us to make choices that may free us and create more spaciousness.

Our mind and body and interconnected, and bringing awareness, allowance, and observation to the body can often allow energies, emotions, and feelings to move through us instead of staying stuck. One skill that I may practice in therapy includes noticing and allowing sensations, as sitting with the uncomfortability can increase our observer Self and ultimately decrease resistance, symptoms, and pain.

We are all made up of parts, whether it be the inner critic, the inner mother, the inner achiever, and the list goes on. These parts are not inherently bad and often try to protect us. As a therapist, I will invite you to check in with these parts and your relationship with these parts, ultimately hoping to unburden these parts and free them up so that your Self can feel more capable responding without additional 'backseat drivers'.

The present moment is where everything takes place. As a therapist, I invite the present moment feelings, thoughts, and sensations to increase observation of these feelings and to allow an incomplete process to come full circle.
