Our Approach

We take an evidence informed, mind body approach to care, grounded in the understanding that meaningful transformation requires more than addressing isolated symptoms. Trauma and stress often live in the body as much as in the mind, so we integrate your psychological experience with your biological responses. This allows us to support healing on multiple levels rather than relying on talk therapy alone.

We are passionate about providing psychoeducation, as well as practical tools and skills, empowering you to grow more confident and independent over time rather than relying on therapy indefinitely. Because we deeply value providing safety, support, and compassion during sessions, all our clinicians are trauma-informed and prioritize creating a space that encourages authenticity and connection.

Currently, our practitioners exclusively meet with clients virtually and do not offer in person sessions. Online therapy allows you to meet from the comfort and safety of your own space while offering the flexibility that makes therapy easier to fit into your life.

What does it mean for a therapy to be evidence based?

Evidence based therapies are approaches grounded in research that have been carefully studied and shown to be effective for specific concerns. We incorporate them throughout therapy based on your goals, preferences, and comfort.

Our Evidence-Based Therapies:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By developing new ways of thinking and responding, you can create meaningful changes in how you feel and function day to day. It is a structured, practical approach supported by extensive research.

  • Mindfulness‑Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) MBSR teaches you to slow down and bring gentle, non‑judgmental awareness to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. This practice helps reduce stress, increase emotional clarity, and strengthen your ability to respond rather than react. Over time, mindfulness supports a steadier, more grounded way of relating to yourself and the world around you.

  • Polyvagal Informed Therapy (Nervous System Work) Polyvagal informed therapy focuses on how your nervous system reacts to stress, safety, and connection. When you understand what’s happening in your body—why you shut down, get overwhelmed, or feel on edge—you can learn simple tools to help your system settle and feel more regulated. This approach helps you build a stronger sense of safety and control from the inside out.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) EMDR is an evidence based therapy that helps your brain process difficult memories so they no longer feel as intense or overwhelming. Instead of talking through every detail, we use structured, research supported techniques that help you work through these memories so that you can relate to yourself and the world in a healthier, more adaptive way. This approach is now used to support a wide range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, negative self-beliefs, and other experiences that feel difficult to shift through talk therapy alone. Many people find that EMDR helps them feel more balanced, confident, satisfied, and grounded in their daily lives.

Our View on Medication:

While medication can be an important part of care for some people, we begin by exploring holistic pathways. If medication becomes part of your treatment plan, we integrate it thoughtfully and collaboratively with your broader therapeutic work and can provide referrals as needed.
