Mental Health
Living with chronic, or acute, mental and emotional health struggles is NOT easy, and this is especially so if we don't have the tools to manage our "ups and downs" in effective, or meaningful ways. We understand mental health from the inside out, which is why we always promise to take trauma-informed approaches when holding space for you. Let's navigate the storm together, and de-stigmatize mental illness while we're at it!
Your mental health matters
We help you manage your mental and emotional health by offering education, safe space, and tools, so that you can begin to feel more confident and autonomous in "riding the waves" that come with the territory of the mental and emotional dimensions of your health.
We work with mental health through de-stigmatized approaches, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), that are designed to foster curiosity, compassion, and understanding towards the "Parts" of ourselves that are struggling (i.e., our "anxious parts", "depressed parts", "perfectionistic parts"). This can be very different from other therapy approaches, where they inadvertently pathologize our struggles as flaws or shortcomings, while offering "coping strategies" to further suppress or dissociate from the core of what is perpetuating the struggle upstream (which is really quite important to uproot, so that it can be integrated!).
In addition to offering therapy in a safe and sacred space, we offer psychoeducation to better understand your brain, body, trauma, and nervous system, as well as support with optimizing your nutrition to ensure you are meeting your brain and bodies needs for optimal mental health and executive function. Let's chat!
Optimizing your mental health comes with perks:
Finding new, healthy ways to navigate and cope with potential triggers
Develop a deeper connection with yourself by cultivating a more meaningful sense of Self (self-esteem)
Begin to understand and extend compassion to all parts of yourself, and let go of any shame surrounding it
Reframe or reprocess old narratives or beliefs that are still holding you back, so you can keep growing and healing
Begin trusting yourself more and relying on your intuition to navigate hard situations in new ways
Increase your self-awareness so you can understand your emotions and experiences differently, without having them control you first
What is Mental Health?
Mental health includes your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It touches all aspects of your life like your relationships, work, personal life, and habits. Your mental health impacts how you think, feel, and act.
