It is a unifying psychotherapy that responds appropriately and effectively to the person at the affective, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological levels of functioning, and addresses as well the spiritual dimension of life. The aim of an integrative psychotherapy is to facilitate wholeness such that the quality of the person's being and functioning in the intra-psychic, interpersonal and sociopolitical space is maximized with due regard for each individual's own personal limits and external constraints.

• Mindfulness-based (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterize mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them.

• Meditation & Yoga integrated Psychotherapy

There are 3 major areas of functioning in the brain: our thinking center, our emotional center, and our nervous system.  Traditional talk therapy engages us mostly in using the thinking and emotional part of our brain for healing.  A mind body approach to psychotherapy involves your body in the healing process too, so that all of the important parts of your brain can work together in healing and helping you move toward your goals. Often clients feel a deeper sense of relief and progress when skills such as mindful breathing, and simple physical practices are integrated within other counseling approaches. Yoga is an ancient practice that has become very popular in recent decades.  Modern science has found that the breathing and physical practices that have grown out of yoga can have a balancing effect on our nervous system.  Better balance in the nervous system has proven to improve medical and psychological problems related to stress.  We integrate yoga as a mindfulness practice that works well with other kinds of counseling.  Yoga has been found to be particularly helpful in addressing the physical symptoms of anxiety, addiction, and traumatic stress problems.  We specialize in integrating yoga with psychotherapy in the treatment of these challenges.
