Here at Presence of Mind Therapy we practice acceptance and compassion as we cultivate meaningful connections.

Finding the right therapist is important. Within the context of a safe space you will develop rapport at a pace that feels comfortable. Once the therapeutic relationship has been established we will begin to explore the many layers that are uniquely you. You will be informed and guided as we reframe issues to better align with the life that you desire. Pairing evidenced-based treatment strategies with techniques informed by yoga, deep breathing, and meditation, you will gain clarity around the past, grow mindfulness and gratitude for the present, and feel empowered to design your new future.

We function in the context of the larger systems we are a part of, and therefore must reject the notion that we are individually flawed.
