How does mindfulness-based therapy (MBCT) work and how can it help?
Mindfulness-based therapy helps you build a different relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and body. Rather than trying to push difficult feelings away or “fix” them immediately, MBCT invites you to slow down, notice what is happening in the present moment, and meet your inner experience with more curiosity and compassion. In our work, mindfulness may include paying attention to bodily sensations, emotional patterns, recurring thoughts, dreams, relational triggers, and the deeper meanings beneath symptoms. This can be especially helpful when you feel caught in cycles of anxiety, depression, overthinking, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm. MBCT can help you recognize patterns before they take over, become more grounded in your body, and respond to life with more awareness rather than reacting automatically. Over time, mindfulness can create more space between what you feel and how you respond, allowing for greater emotional regulation, self-understanding, and inner steadiness.
My work is depth-oriented, relational, and mind-body centered. That means we don’t just focus on managing symptoms — we listen for what your struggles are trying to say. I draw from Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and dreamwork. Together, we pay attention to patterns, emotions, relationships, and the symbolic language of the psyche. Therapy becomes a place where insight, emotional experience, and embodied awareness come together. I see therapy as a collaborative process. The relationship itself matters, and change often happens through genuine understanding and meeting — sometimes for the first time. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in private practice. I'm currently in training with JPA in New York for archetypal psychoanalytic psychotherapy and have trained in EMDR, IFS, RLT, CBT, Hakomi, and more. I offer individual and group psychotherapy, and working with adults across a wide range of life concerns.

Treatment recommendations are based on clinical assessment, including each client’s needs, goals, stability, readiness, and safety. EMDR may require preparation and stabilization and may not be appropriate for every client or at every stage of treatment. Because EMDR providers vary in training and experience, clients are encouraged to ask about a provider’s specific qualifications. Areas of Support — Anxiety: Worry, anxious thoughts, overwhelm, and difficulty managing stress. — ADHD: Attention, organization, follow-through, impulsivity, restlessness, and everyday functioning. — Behavioral Concerns: Patterns that interfere with functioning at home, school, work, or in daily life. — Grief and Loss: Bridget’s CGT credential reflects additional specialized education in grief and loss. She supports individuals navigating bereavement, anticipated loss, significant life changes, relationship and family losses, and the loss of a pet or companion animal. — Adjustment and Life Transitions: Navigating changes involving relationships, family, school, work, living circumstances, and other significant life events. — Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance: Understanding and managing emotions, navigating difficult experiences, and developing more intentional responses.

Her role is to listen carefully, help clients explore patterns and connections, and offer clinical perspective and therapeutic tools while supporting them in making meaning of their own experiences. When a client’s needs extend beyond her training or experience, a requested treatment approach is not clinically appropriate, or another level of care may be indicated, Bridget communicates this openly and supports appropriate referrals or transitions in care. 970-400-7319 [email protected] Psychiatric Services of the Rockies: Therapy 2121 Midpoint Dr., Ste 201, Fort Collins, CO 80525

How does mindfulness-based therapy (MBCT) work and how can it help?
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an integrative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness meditation with cognitive therapy techniques. MBCT is designed to help people break free from patterns of negative thinking, emotional reactivity, and stress, and to foster a greater sense of awareness, acceptance, and emotional regulation. MBCT is especially effective for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, or recurring negative thought patterns. The focus is on cultivating mindfulness, or the ability to be present in the moment, without judgment, while also developing tools to manage difficult emotions and thoughts. Here’s how MBCT works and how it can help: 1. Cultivating Mindfulness Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to your present experience—thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and environment—without judgment. In MBCT, mindfulness techniques, such as focused breathing, body scans, and meditation, are used to help you cultivate awareness in the here-and-now. These practices can help you distance yourself from the automatic negative thinking patterns that often lead to emotional distress. By learning to observe your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, you begin to see them as temporary experiences rather than facts. This helps reduce the power of negative thinking that can contribute to anxiety or depression. 2. Identifying and Challenging Negative Thought Patterns In MBCT, we explore how habitual patterns of thinking—like rumination or catastrophizing—contribute to emotional distress. For example, when someone with depression experiences negative thoughts, they may get stuck in a loop, continually thinking that "nothing will ever get better." MBCT helps you recognize these automatic thought patterns and offers tools to challenge them. By combining mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques, MBCT teaches you how to: Notice when you're getting stuck in negative thought patterns Create space between you and your thoughts Reframe these thoughts in a more realistic, compassionate way The goal is to break the cycle of negative thinking and develop healthier ways of interpreting your experiences. 3. Increasing Emotional Awareness and Regulation Many of us are unaware of our emotional responses until they’ve already taken hold, leading to reactive behaviors like lashing out or withdrawing. MBCT helps increase emotional awareness, which allows you to pause and observe your emotional reactions before you act on them. This space provides an opportunity to make more thoughtful, intentional choices rather than being swept away by strong emotions. The practice of mindfulness allows you to stay present with difficult emotions, such as sadness, anger, or fear, without judgment. Over time, you’ll build resilience and learn that you don’t have to be overwhelmed by emotions—they can be observed, processed, and released. 4. Reducing Stress and Improving Coping Skills Chronic stress is often tied to persistent worry, anxiety, and negative thinking. MBCT helps you develop better coping skills by teaching you how to approach stress in a mindful, balanced way. Instead of avoiding stressors or reacting impulsively, you’ll learn to face them with a calm, present mindset. Mindfulness also reduces the body’s physical stress response, helping you manage symptoms like tension, fatigue, or poor sleep. This allows you to approach life’s challenges with greater clarity and calm. 5. Preventing Relapse in Depression and Anxiety One of the most powerful benefits of MBCT is its ability to prevent relapse in people who have experienced recurrent episodes of depression or anxiety. MBCT teaches you how to notice early warning signs—such as negative thinking patterns or shifts in mood—before they escalate into a full-blown episode. By becoming more aware of your mental and emotional state, you can intervene earlier, using mindfulness and cognitive strategies to stop the cycle before it becomes overwhelming. This prevention approach is especially effective for individuals who have experienced multiple episodes of depression or anxiety. 6. Fostering Acceptance and Self-Compassion Mindfulness teaches acceptance—not resignation or passivity, but the ability to acknowledge your current experience without judgment or resistance. Often, we are our harshest critics, and this self-criticism can worsen feelings of inadequacy or frustration. Through MBCT, you’ll cultivate self-compassion, which allows you to treat yourself with kindness and understanding when things go wrong. Instead of reacting with frustration or self-blame, you’ll learn to be gentle with yourself and accept your human imperfections. 7. Improving Overall Well-Being MBCT has been shown to improve mental well-being by increasing present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. With time and practice, you’ll experience greater peace, clarity, and balance in your daily life. This shift can lead to improved relationships, enhanced creativity, and an increased sense of meaning and fulfillment. How MBCT Can Help: Reduce Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety: By breaking the cycle of negative thinking, MBCT can alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety and reduce the likelihood of relapse. Improve Emotional Regulation: Mindfulness practices help you stay present with emotions without becoming overwhelmed, leading to greater emotional resilience and regulation. Increase Self-Awareness: MBCT increases your ability to recognize and understand your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations, promoting greater insight and self-compassion. Enhance Stress Management: By reducing the physiological stress response and cultivating mindfulness, you can manage stress more effectively and prevent it from negatively impacting your life. Develop Healthier Thought Patterns: MBCT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, leading to healthier, more balanced thinking and improved self-esteem. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy is a powerful tool for anyone looking to break free from the grip of negative thoughts, emotional reactivity, and stress. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or simply seeking to improve your mental health and well-being, MBCT offers practical tools to create lasting change in your life.
