    Using a Structural Family Therapy approach, we will explore boundaries, generational hierarchy, agency, your competence and strength and grow all that is already well in you :)

  • Interpersonal Presence: Mindfulness and Psychotherapy

    Dr. Sharon Beckman-Brindley

    This is a beautiful approach focusing on the somatic. With grounding and breathing excises we will explore how you can feel safe in your body, where patterns manifest in you body, and how to honor the intuitive and the poetic in your healing journey

  • Couples Therapy

  • The desire bundle/Sex Therapy

    Esther Perel

    We will explore the erotic, everything that makes you feel alive in your body, examine how societal and religious myths may have limited your ability to feel fully alive in your body and in touch with what you might need to feel fully alive

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    UVA Department of Family Medicine

    With CBT we will explore how your thinking affects your feelings and how those affect your behaviors. We will then explore with much self-compassion how to transform those self-loathing and catastrophic thoughts into more realistic thoughts. That will greatly affect your feelings and behaviors and create new neuropathways in your brain
