EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma, distressing memories, and limiting beliefs by engaging the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate experiences. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports emotional healing and helps reduce the intensity of painful memories, allowing you to move forward with greater clarity, calm, and resilience.
Attachment repair and parts integration (Internal Family Systems, or IFS) offer a powerful pathway to healing from trauma and restoring overall wellbeing. By addressing disruptions in early attachment, individuals can repair relational wounds that often manifest as anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or difficulty trusting others. Parts integration therapy works alongside this by helping individuals recognize, understand, and harmonize the conflicting or disowned aspects of themselves.
Fostering mindfulness, self-regulation, resilience, and meaning is a key part of healing from trauma. By focusing on each individual’s unique strengths and values, we help clients navigate the lingering effects of past wounds, develop emotional awareness, and cultivate practical coping strategies and regulating impulses. This process supports the restoration of personal boundaries, strengthens resilience, and fosters a deeper sense of self.
Integrative approaches to anxiety, panic, and related disorders combine evidence-based therapies, lifestyle strategies, and holistic practices to support the mind, body, and emotional wellbeing. These approaches address not only psychological patterns but also inflammation, gut health, and nervous system dysregulation. Treatment may blend cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic therapies with attention to sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management.
We recognize that emotional wellbeing is influenced by the complex interplay of brain, body, and environment. Beyond symptom management, this approach addresses root causes such as inflammation, hormonal and gut imbalances, trauma, and lifestyle factors. By combining evidence-based therapies, mindfulness, nutrition, movement, and social connection, integrative care helps restore balance, resilience, and meaning.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is closely linked to mental health through the gut-brain axis—a two-way communication system connecting digestion, mood, and stress response. Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress can intensify IBS symptoms, while gut inflammation and microbiome imbalance can, in turn, impact emotional regulation. Focus on restoring harmony between mind and body, stress reduction, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and lifestyle modifications.
Dual diagnosis care—addressing both mental health conditions and addictions—is essential because the two are deeply intertwined. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges can increase vulnerability to substance or process addictions, while addiction itself can worsen or trigger psychiatric symptoms. This bidirectional relationship often creates a cycle that traditional, one-dimensional treatments fail to break.
Process addictions (technology, social media, gaming, pornography, gambling, shopping, and work) are on the rise in today’s overstimulating, hyperconnected world. These trigger the brain’s reward circuitry through repeated dopamine hits, creating powerful habits that hijack the body and mind. Chronic stress, trauma, isolation, and unmet needs fuel these compulsions. Uncover root causes, regulate the nervous system, repair attachment patterns, and build healthy paths to connection and pleasure.
Substance use disorders often develop gradually and are frequently normalized in today’s culture—whether through the casual acceptance of alcohol, the growing use of cannabis, or the misuse of prescription medications. What begins as a coping strategy for stress, pain, or disconnection can quietly evolve into dependence, affecting mental, physical, and relational health. A whole-person approach helps by addressing the deeper drivers—such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, and lifestyle.
Men’s mental health remains one of the most overlooked and stigmatized areas in healthcare. Cultural expectations around strength, stoicism, and self-reliance discourage men from seeking help—leading to underdiagnosis, untreated depression and anxiety, and higher rates of substance use and suicide. Men cope through workaholism, isolation, or risk-taking behaviors rather than open communication. Addressing men’s mental health is critical not only for individual but also for families and community
We focus on meaning reconstruction, emotional regulation, and nurturing the body to support overall health. Unresolved grief can contribute to isolation, cognitive and mental health challenges, and even addictive behaviors, making it essential to address loss comprehensively. We help clients process emotions, restore connection, and rebuild a sense of purpose and resilience. Grief can take many shapes beyond losing a loved one - the end of a relationship, retirement, and other life transitions.
Attention and executive functioning difficulties—such as trouble with focus, organization, planning, and impulse control—are influenced by a combination of neurological, emotional, and lifestyle factors. We integrate strategies like cognitive training, mindfulness, stress regulation, sleep optimization, nutrition, and therapy. By supporting the brain, body, and emotional well-being together, individuals can improve focus, decision-making, and self-regulation.
We start by understanding and healing patterns that shape intimacy, connection, and desire. Through the lens of attachment repair, we explore how early experiences, stress, and social conditioning influence relationship dynamics and sexual wellbeing. This integrative process supports emotional safety, communication, and self-awareness—helping individuals and couples reconnect with themselves and each other in authentic, fulfilling, and healthy ways.
FNDs—including conditions such as Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Fibromyalgia—illustrate the complex interplay between the brain, nervous system, and mental health. Stress, trauma, anxiety, and other factors impact neurological functioning, while physical symptoms often exacerbate emotional distress, creating a challenging cycle. We address both mind and body, combining psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, stress regulation, and somatic practices.
