What is Mindfulness-Based Therapy?
Mindfulness-based therapy combines ancient mindfulness practices with modern therapeutic approaches to help you develop nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment experience. This evidence-based treatment integrates mindfulness techniques with cognitive therapy methods, creating powerful mindfulness-based interventions that address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.
Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on changing thoughts, mindfulness therapy helps you develop a different relationship with your thoughts and emotions. Through mindfulness training and consistent mindfulness practices, you learn to observe your experiences without being overwhelmed by them.
Our team specializes in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and other mindfulness-based approaches that have demonstrated efficacy through extensive clinical psychology research and randomized controlled trials.

Our Mindfulness-Based Therapy Approaches
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy combines cognitive therapy techniques with mindfulness meditation practices to prevent depressive relapse and address recurrent depression. This approach is particularly effective for clients with recurrent major depressive disorder or those caught in cycles of negative thoughts.
Our mbct therapist helps you recognize early warning signs of depression and develop skills that go beyond traditional cognitive behavior therapy. Rather than focusing on cognitive restructuring, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy mbct focuses on changing your relationship with thoughts rather than changing the thoughts themselves.
Research shows that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can reduce the risk of depressive relapse by approximately 43% compared to traditional treatments alone, making it a powerful tool for long-term mental health.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Our mindfulness-based stress reduction program adapts Jon Kabat-Zinn's foundational approach to fit individual needs. Through systematic mindfulness training, clients develop present moment awareness and emotion regulation skills that create lasting resilience.
Unlike group intervention formats, we provide personalized mindfulness-based stress reduction that integrates seamlessly with your busy schedule. This individualized mindfulness-based program focuses on practical mindfulness techniques you can use anywhere, anytime.
Integration with Other Therapeutic Modalities
What sets our practice apart is how we integrate mindfulness-based interventions with other evidence-based approaches:
EMDR and Mindfulness: Mindfulness training provides grounding and safety during trauma processing, while EMDR helps heal memories that surface during mindfulness practice.
IFS Therapy and Mindful Awareness: We combine Internal Family Systems work with mindfulness therapy to help you develop metacognitive awareness of different parts of yourself.
Somatic Therapy and Body Awareness: Our mindfulness practices include attention to physical sensations, helping you reconnect with your body's wisdom.
Art Therapy and Mindful Creating: We integrate mindfulness techniques with creative expression, allowing healing insights to emerge naturally.

Systematic review studies show that mindfulness practices create measurable changes in brain structures associated with:
Stress regulation: Decreased activity in areas associated with fight-or-flight responses
Emotional processing: Enhanced connectivity between prefrontal cortex and limbic regions
Self-awareness: Increased gray matter in areas linked to metacognitive awareness
