Therapy can facilitate personal healing, growth, better relationships, overall wellness, good emotional and mental health and a higher quality of life, if you commit to doing the work.
It is a short-term investment with a return that lasts a lifetime.
An investment that has the potential of being passed on for generations as you learn to break unhealthy cycles, some that may have been passed on by your ancestors.
Only you can decide if you and your relationships are worthy of this investment.
Earlier intervention may yield faster and more effective results. The longer we wait to seek professional help, the bigger the problem and the more unnecessary discomfort and suffering we experience, resulting in a higher cost.
CLIENT PORTAL: As a courtesy to clients Mindful Quest Relationship Counseling subscribes to a HIPAA compliant electronic health records system where clients can conveniently and safely complete and submit necessary forms, coordinate appointments, send sensitive information and pay electronically.
SPECIALIZED CLINICAL TREATMENT: You get to work with a clinician who has expert level clinical training in working with trauma and relationships.
HIGH QUALITY & MINDFUL CLINICAL CARE: Therapist is actively involved in clinical consultation and supervision with other top notch professionals in the field, attends multiple advanced and specialized training events throughout the year and is regularly reading new books/research and listening to podcasts relevant to clients' needs. Additionally, therapist is invested in her own personal work through on-going personal counseling which allows her to stay in touch with the client’s therapeutic experience in an attempt to better connect with those she serves.
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is recognized worldwide and is a scientifically proven treatment that helps alleviate the effects from traumatic life events. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), based on the science of attachment, is also recognized worldwide as the most cutting edge, tested and proven approach to treat couples. Both of these can be combined and effectively used with individuals and couples.
HOLISTIC APPROACH: Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, said “The whole is more than the sum of its parts,” which is part of the philosophy at Mindful Quest Relationship Counseling. Your attachment and trauma history, your cultural, ethnic, community and systemic background, your personal beliefs and values and your spirituality all matter and are taken into account.
OFFICE ENVIRONMENT: Though in-person appointments are not available at this time, once they are you will be able to enjoy an office space that is mindfully created to facilitate self-care while you wait and during session (i.e. complimentary drinks, snacks, baskets with supplies for self-care, etc.).
