Our Core Beliefs.

Strengthen Resilience.
People have an innate capacity for resilience that can be strengthened through somatic therapy and other techniques.
Stay Connected.
A positive, attuned, and communicative relationship with your therapist is essential to moving past hurt, loss, and trauma in the body.
Remain Integrative.
Integrative psychology reflects a holistic approach to health that combines different treatment approaches to meet your unique needs.

A Compassionate Approach.

Our onboarding process reflects our overall philosophy to provide warm, compassionate care. We are sensitive to life’s challenges and its various stages of challenge or trauma. We listen carefully to understand what you are going through and what you want from your work with us. By connecting and learning about who you are as a person, adapting our knowledge and tools in trauma studies, we can then individualize a program that feels meaningful and productive to you.
