Anxiety and stress are some of the most common concerns that we help our clients with. This often includes learning to shift negative patterns of thought and behavior, improving self-image and esteem, and learning easy, accessible tools to manage anxiety and stress confidently whenever they show up. Sometimes this is exactly what a client needs to decrease or complete therapy, other times we work together to dive deeper and find the roots of that anxiety and create healthier neural pathways.

Our therapists work to create a safe space where people can explore their relationship concerns and empower them to set health boundaries, let go of unhelpful patterns of relationship, understand how early childhood attachments may impact current relationships, live more in line with their own values, and reduce people pleasing, guilt, responsibility, shame, expectations, and other challenging emotions that may show up in relationship with partners, spouses, family, friends, and/or colleagues.

Our group's unique blend of holistic therapies is well-suited to helping those who have PTSD or have experienced trauma. We offer both top-down approaches to help manage the thoughts and emotions related to the trauma and how that impacts relationship to self, others, and the world at large. And we blend that with bottom-up approaches that teach tools to manage bodily reactions and emotions that show up in life as a result of having experienced trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a type of top down therapy that examines how someone thinks and how that thinking may impact their feelings, and then their actions. CBT is great for folks who spend a lot of time in their heads, experiencing negative, repetitive thoughts. It is also helpful for those who see repetitive patterns of behavior or relationships in their lives. We'll use tools from CBT to create an awareness of where these patterns are coming from and to learn how we can shift them.

Somatic or body-based therapies are a bottom-up approach to treatment. Our group specializes in somatic therapies (EMDR, yoga therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness) that help people cope with raw emotions and reactions that show up in their bodies. These tools help take the body from feeling like it's in a place of danger or fight and flight and move it into a place of safety by regulating the nervous system and creating a safe space in therapy for processing.

Holistic therapy is a blend of top-down and bottom-up therapies. Therapy with us is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, we collaborate with our clients to create a holistic treatment plan that utilizes their strengths, is person-centered and affirming, and meets each person where they are. This means we offer tools to help clients cope with their bodily experiences of anxiety or trauma AND skills to begin to think and feel differently about experiences, emotions, themselves, and others.
