About My Clients
Our second & third year interns are supervised by a seasoned clinical social worker and a licensed professional counselor art therapist. We seek to serve those who are experiencing suffering whether that may be from mental illness, traumatic experiences, life transitions, grief, spiritual questions or other issues. Our interns are trained in contemplative psychotherapy, somatic psychotherapy, art therapy, as well as transpersonal and wildnerness therapy approaches.
My Background and Approach
Our therapy sessions are ideal for those interested in contemplative and mindful healing. Somatic therapy: Focusing on the body's role in transforming behavior, integrating body awareness and movement with counseling skills. Contemplative therapy: Merging in-depth training in cultivating mindfulness and compassion with therapeutic work. Transpersonal therapy: Reconnecting the spiritual dimensions of human experience with traditional theoretical perspectives. Wilderness therapy: Integrating therapy with experiential and nature-based wisdom. Art therapy: An integrative form of therapy that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making, creative process, applied psychological theory, and human experience within a psychotherapeutic relationship. Create effective change: Our clinicians are trained in stages of change/motivational interviewing and are ready to help you make positive changes in your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Learning: We continuously learn together, from each other, our clients and our community. We strive to embrace a ‘beginner’s mind’, remaining open to other’s perspectives, while checking our own judgments and assumptions. Reliability: We are reliable to our clients, community, our agency and to one another. Joy: We seek joy and good humor, with one another and with our clients, and celebrate successes along the way. Compassion for ourselves and others: We care about human suffering, work hard to alleviate pain and promote healing, do no harm, AND we set boundaries to take care of ourselves. We embrace the dialectic of giving and taking: it is as important to replenish ourselves as it is to give to others. Respect (Diversity) : We believe that a respect for diversity of identities, social locations and opinions enhances our workplace and improves our services for the wider community.
