Mindfulness psychotherapy raises your consciousness and empowers you to take charge of anxiety, addiction and the adventures and challenge that come with aging.

The practice uses these therapy tools-

 

Existential / Gestalt – Empowers you to take immediate personal responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions.

Jungian Depth Psychology - Explores and opens the healing powers of the unconscious mind using the technique of active imagination.

Language of Archetypes – Awakens your internal subpersonalities like the Hero, the Child, the Seeker and the Healer while controlling the Saboteur, the Victim and the Addict.

Dream Amplification – The unconscious gives messages in the form of dreams, and these symbolic messages can be deciphered to gain insight about how to handle challenging life situations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – The popular logic therapy technique that corrects distorted beliefs about yourself, other people and life in general, so you think more rationally, less impulsively.

Paradoxical Intention - A behavioral mechanism that enables you to think and do those things you usually fear.

Life Narrative – A motivating 6-step process that reveals unfulfilled yearnings, unconscious burdens, unlocks buried talents and writes a script for turning daydreams into real opportunities in your second half of life.

Vipassana Practice - This classic mindfulness meditation lowers anxiety and the emotional reactivity that fuels addictive behavior and resistance to the aging process.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – Self-administered acupressure or “tapping” to clear nerve energy and remove anxiety symptoms.

Rate for a psychotherapy hour (50 mins.) will be determined by phone prior to your first session.
