How does mindfulness-based therapy (MBCT) work and how can it help?

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral techniques. It helps you focus on the present moment, recognize and challenge negative thought patterns, and manage stress more effectively. MBCT is especially useful in preventing relapse in depression by fostering a new, more balanced relationship with your thoughts and emotions.

How do you work with clients with depression?

For clients with depression, I start with a comprehensive assessment to understand their needs and create a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include medication, talk therapy, and holistic approaches like mindfulness. I use evidence-based therapies, offer lifestyle and holistic support, and provide ongoing collaboration to adjust the treatment as needed. My goal is to help you find balance and improve your quality of life.

How do you work with clients with addiction?

When working with clients with addiction, I start with a thorough assessment to understand their unique needs. I then create a customized treatment plan that may include medication, counseling, holistic approaches, and lifestyle coaching. I use evidence-based therapies and provide ongoing support to help clients build motivation, develop healthier habits, and work towards recovery.

How can you provide care remotely?

I offer remote care through secure video sessions, phone consultations, and online tools for managing your treatment. I also handle electronic prescriptions, so you can get the support and medication you need without coming into the office.

How does coaching work and how can it help?

Coaching helps you achieve personal or professional goals by setting clear objectives, developing a strategic plan, building essential skills, and providing accountability. It fosters personal growth by offering support and guidance throughout the process.
