The Healing Phoenix

The phoenix is a mythical bird that has appeared in many traditions and cultures. It has been known for the power to be reborn and regenerate from the ashes making it a symbol of renewal. Our nervous system, from brain to body, can do something similar by a process known as neuroplasticity. Our brain cells can each have anywhere from 10-10,000 brain cell connections. Not only can new brain cells be created but we can develop, regulate, and integrate those connections in more helpful ways through evidence-based treatments. Like a phoenix, you can learn to heal, regenerate, and help others do the same. If you are seeking mental health care and support, you are not broken. Your brain is doing exactly what it was programmed to do to survive (biologically, socially, emotionally, etc.). Past traumatic experiences or wounds can keep us in survival patterns and coping strategies, but evidence-based tools can help us heal and thrive. I integrate evidence supported approaches to therapy listed below. I have an experiential and interactive approach. For example, if you have trauma, we might work on helping you feel safe in your body in the here-and-now. If you have a critical voice, we might work on helping you develop a more compassionate one. If you have relationship concerns, we might work to improve your relationship building skills in individual or group therapy. Feel free to reach each out for a free consultation.
