“Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.”
-Rumi

Integrating Modalities of Healing

Just as each of us has a different modality for learning, we respond to modalities of healing differently. Some clients prefer to grow in conversation while others prefer a more expressive means by which they can externalize their internal struggles. In trying to make these explanations as simple as possible, they lose a bit of of the essence from which they were created. Please don’t hesitate to ask for more detailed information about those that interest you.

EMDR

Per the EMDRIA, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To date, EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all ages and experiences be relieved by many types of psychological stress.

Somatic Exploration and Engagement

Most recent evidence in psychology recognizes that every human experience co-exists in the mind, body and heart (emotions). Somatic exploration and engagement is the effort to reach your memories and emotions through the body. For example, how could you move to begin a dialogue with that pain in your heart? Have you considered that your grief is causing swelling in your neck or knees? 

Neuro-Linguistic Programming

NLP increases self-awareness including emotions, thoughts, and behaviors then employs many interesting techniques to change these by changing the subconscious programming that initiates them.

Inner Child and Parts of Self

The Self, according to psychologist Carl Jung, is the, “unification of the consciousness and unconsciousness in a person, integrating various aspects of one’s personality.” These aspects are often referred to as PARTS OF SELF. The part of you that feels abandoned — how old does that part of you feel? And what part of you soothes that part when you do? How do you play in order to connect to curiosity, creativity and the many other parts of self that are integrated in healthy childhood dynamics?

Narrative Transformation

This is the opportunity for you to unearth your personal story, discover your strengths, resources, passions, and road blocks to growth or change through sharing your experiences. What is your story? And more importantly, how do you want to change it?

Cinematic Exploration Of Patterns and Experiences

 Film has the ability to bridge all cultures, religions, and differences so that we may understand our beings in relationship to the collective conscious that knows how to heal.

Self Exploration Through Art, Music, and Other Authentic Means

The creative spirit has much to say when we give it the freedom and means to express, without critique. For example, when was the last time you meditated by drawing with your less dominant hand? And did that hand have anything it wanted to say?

Self Exploration By Way Of Nature and Adventure

With these modalities, you seek to reset your buttons with expanded self-efficacy and wholeness in relationship with nature by way of a simple walk along the river, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, skiing, etc. The means by which nature can contribute to your healing are endless — especially in places like Colorado, Florida, Washington, and the Virgin Islands, where ‘wild’ is abundant.
