Mindfulness Based Therapy

ACT, MSC, + RO-DBT

The power of being present to what is.

Our minds are our most powerful and brilliant tool - capable of insight, creativity, and communication. Yet, they also create suffering in our lives. We can get “stuck” in negative or other unhelpful patterns of thought, often leading to depression, anxiety, and overall dissatisfaction with life.

Thankfully, there is a way to harness the brilliance of our minds to shift mental patterns that no longer work for us.

Evidence from neuroscience research affirms what many cultures around the world have known for hundreds of years - that when we slow down and become more aware of our experience in the here-and-now, we end up living more fulfilling and connected lives.

Evidence-based therapies to harness present moment awareness

  • ACT (Acceptance + Commitment Therapy)

  • MSC (Mindful Self-Compassion)

  • RO-DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy)

While all mindfulness-based therapies are helpful for anxiety, stress, and perfectionism, ACT, MSC and RO-DBT are particularly useful for working with these issues. Through cultivating present moment awareness, compassion for self and others, and flexibility in thinking patterns, you can change the way you react to difficult situations in life, rather than avoiding or trying to control that which can’t be controlled. The more we can accept life as it is, while still acting from our values, the less stress we experience.

“The curious paradox is when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
