Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in East Liverpool, OH

Mindfulness with sincere work towards change will allow us to grow and develop into the human beings we are created to be. None of us are perfect...we are human beings affected by the winds of the world and the people that we come into contact with, if only for a moment. As well as those decisions we make...the bad ones and the good ones. As a therapist I will do the best I can to encourage you the Client to be mindful of the process of change. And it is a process!

Life can seem overwhelming and intense, at times it may feel like the chaos and confusion are too much to bear on your own. Conflicts within ourselves, our spouses, family, friends and children arise, uncertainty of when it will end begins to consume us and starts to feel normal. Sometimes life has felt like this since childhood, carrying a weight that is too heavy, creating patterns and a lifestyle that just aren’t working. Children can experience intense and uncertain feelings, not knowing how to regulate their emotions, or seek out validation can lead to confusion that transpires into adulthood.

Every experience both firsthand and indirectly leaves a mark on our mind and bodies further shaping the view we hold of ourselves, others, and the world. Manifestations of mental, emotional, and physiological symptoms from these experiences can leave us feeling disconnected, adrift, or uncertain. I utilize the treatment approaches of Somatic, Mindfulness - Based (MBCT), and Trauma Focused while incorporating various forms of wellness such as yoga which can assist in peeling back the layers of the body and mind to re-align with the true self.
