Whole person therapy

Attending to the resource and regulatory needs of the nervous system develops a foundation for stability to make therapeutic progress possible and sustainable. Treatment begins with a focus on stabilization to establish a safe environment for growth. Sometimes natural growth and healing are truncated, disorganized, or deterred due to a traumatic event or overwhelming experience. Non-verbal therapy modalities tend to the whole imprint left by such events and provide reparative opportunities. The process is collaborative, led with warmth and curiosity, and centered around individual goals and values.

Words are not enough. Verbal and non-verbal interventions (exploring voluntary and involuntary movements, practicing mindful awareness of sensory experience, and expressive therapies that involve drawing, paint, mix media, and clay) maximize neuroplasticity potential through engaging emotional, cognitive, and regulatory/ survival functions of the brain together. Starting with foundational systems and to build toward meaning making mirrors the developmental process, respects biological needs, and attunes to neuro-sequential growth that begins prenatally.
