A Safe Space to Reconnect

Here, the mind-body connection is respected and understood this connection cannot be separated. The focus is to understand each person in the context of their environments and impact of life experiences on the mind and body. By creating a safe environment, each person can have the stage necessary to discover their authentic selves, heal and create.

We utilize several established counseling practices to help you overcome whatever challenges you may be facing. By looking at all the aspects of your life, we can help you approach your mental health with an open mind and open heart.

MISSION

We strive to provide patients with the tools to realize their inner strength in difficult circumstances while reconfiguring neural pathways and restoring balance to the nervous system.

Through compassionate and trauma-informed services, we provide the environment to access the areas of brain functioning that individuals, couples and families need to reconnect and reflect by shifting from unhelpful patterns to healthier and more united behaviors.

VISION

Through compassionate, trauma-informed counseling services, to provide the environment necessary for individuals, couples, and families to heal from and move past unhelpful patterns to a healthier and more authentic life.

VALUES

Authenticity

We believe that many of the feelings of emptiness and confusion lie in disconnection from our authentic selves. It is through becoming our authentic selves that we can live truly free.

Compassion

Modeling and teaching compassion for self and others allows the development of safe connection and reflection without judgment or condemnation.

Connection

We live in a relational context. Most of the long-lasting, problematic responses we adopt are in the face of being disconnected from ourselves and others, usually in response to stress, painful experiences, trauma, and judgment. Our minds are connected to our bodies, and will create automatic reactions that reflect our life experiences. If we can connect to ourselves and others, everyone is considered, and everyone works toward a better world.

Cultural Humility and Inclusion

Every person comes from a background that we can learn from and appreciate. Even people within the same culture do not have the same life experiences, and to truly understand a person, we must exercise humility. To contribute to a safer society, we must include and learn from all.

Social Responsibility

We recognize that each of us, and those we work with, make up and contribute to a larger society. Therefore, we must leave an impact with our words and actions, which show those we interact with that there can be a better way of connection.

Trust

Trust is a necessary element for growth. If our team and clients do not feel safe enough to show vulnerability, we will lose valuable opportunities for reflection, learning, and growth. We must learn a common understanding of trust that allows for mistakes and learning.

We can live by these values when we achieve safety, regulation, learn to listen, and meet needs.

Work toward safety: being and feeling safe

Regulation: learn to have power over the self

Listen to and understand the body's language: mind-body connection

Restructure judgment: remove unhelpful judgment and listen to "what belongs" and "what doesn't belong"

Authentic self/living: help clients recognize their intentional selves and live life reflecting who they truly are
