Mindfulness Practices We Believe In
Our wellness team integrates mindfulness into treatment plans tailored to each client’s comfort level, needs, and neurotype.
Mindful Breathing
Simple breathwork exercises that reduce anxiety and activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Body Scan & Somatic Awareness
Builds awareness of tension, calm, or discomfort — especially helpful in trauma recovery.
Sensory Grounding
Using sight, touch, sound, or movement to anchor your attention.
Ideal for ADHD, autism, and anxiety.
Thought Observation
Learning to watch thoughts as passing mental events rather than facts. Helpful for rumination and OCD-type thinking.
Mindful Movement
Gentle stretching, walking, or yoga-inspired practices to release emotion and regulate the nervous system.
Loving-Kindness & Self-Compassion
Supports healing from shame, self-criticism, or perfectionism.
Mindful Daily Routines
Turning simple habits — brushing teeth, making coffee, commuting — into grounding rituals.
Mindfulness + Therapy: A Powerful Combination
Mindfulness becomes even more effective when combined with therapy.
Our therapists integrate mindfulness-informed approaches within:
- CBT
- DBT
- ACT
- EMDR (trauma processing)
- Trauma-focused therapy
- Grief and loss counseling
- ISTDP-informed emotional work
Mindfulness supports healing. Therapy helps you make meaning of it.
Mindfulness + Psychiatry: Restoring Balance
Mindfulness improves nervous system regulation, but sometimes symptoms are intense or biologically rooted. Psychiatry can support:
- Severe anxiety
- Insomnia or racing thoughts
- Mood swings
- ADHD overstimulation
- Trauma-related hyperarousal
- Depression that affects motivation
Medication and mindfulness often work best together:
- Mindfulness calms the body
- Medication stabilizes the brain
- Therapy integrates the emotional experience
