Mental discomfort arises from anxiety within. Using the latest neurocounseling and somatic psychology techniques, you and I identify past and present stressors, so you can metabolize unbalanced emotions. Through behavioral modification and learning about how to regulate thought, you gain inner composure. You will relate more successfully and physical health usually improves! Methods are relational and focus on non-pharmaceutical interventions, because while drugs may mitigate symptoms, they rarely cure and can make things worse. It’s about learning to look at life a new way, about integrating a new way of being in the world through regulating bodymind. Are you ready to grow into a new you?
