Waitlist for new clients
We currently have a waiting list for new clients. Psychotherapy Associates is a small, boutique practice located between downtown and Old Town. Drawing upon an East-West approach, we are trained in current, evidenced-based practices of western psychology while also drawing from the time-honored, contemplative practices of eastern philosophy. As we work, we consider the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and that point of view guides our treatment decisions. Ultimately, we aim to be in tune with what works best for each individual client, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to life's problems.

As a therapist, I utilize a holistic approach including evidence-based talk therapies. While I believe talk therapy is important, I strongly encourage my clients to practice exploration of connecting with self by practicing being intentional, noticing how we fuel our bodies, what healthy and unhealthy coping skills we are using, and how we can release natural endorphins. It is through this connection clients are guided on how to navigate their relationships with others, but most importantly, the relationship with themself.

As a seasoned clinician, I practice full-hearted, relational therapy and counseling with clear focus and humor! Only if the relationship fits, and you are ready for in depth work: a) heal past trauma(s); b) look for deeper meaning/direction in your life through Jungian exploration of the unconscious (dream work, archetypes, shadow/body work, active imagination, etc.), which is often experiential; c) address anxiety about these times in a women's group. I also bring in sociological issues of oppression, racism, patriarchy, etc., as relevant, and have strong background in Buddhist meditation and Celtic spiritual pagan practice.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
