Sometimes there are not words to describe how we feel. Art, historically has offered us all an alternative method of expression. When applied in therapy, art can be that bridge, a planted seed, a farewell, or a lasting reminder of an experience or relationship we needed/wanted to honor or transform. These intuitive tools allow us to go deeper into our (un)conscious stories, and gets us to those insights that our egos, traumas, and words have been defending, guarding, hiding, or blocking from ourselves and others. Using Art Therapy, you'll be able to experience different perspectives and empower yourself to tell new stories.

Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

Usually we seek psychotherapy because we have come to realize that the emotional pain we suffer is a recurrent problem which we are unable to resolve on our own. The enduring consequences of deprivation, trauma, and conflict limit who we are in our relationships and our work. My training and experience enables me to help you, initially by alleviating your immediate distress, and over time by relating to your deeper concerns.

We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Transpersonal Therapists

How does transpersonal therapy work?

Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?

Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?

Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?

There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
