Contemplative, mindfulness psychotherapy is a gentle, life-affirming way to work with painful life experiences; and a means of cultivating clarity, compassion, and skillful action in your life.

Eckhart Tolle

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy pairs Buddhist mindfulness practice with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques (CBT).

Learning MBCT can bring freedom from disturbing thoughts, change moods and negative emotions, and reduce stress. A famous Buddhist saying is "Pain is unavoidable, suffering is optional." 

Mindfulness  Counseling for Couples & Family  

Mindfulness psychotherapy offers couples and families a way to view their relationships from a perspective of starting a new chapter rather than trying to correct all the 'wrongs' of the past. Learning to communicate mindfully can help build the bridge to authentic relationship. Practicing Maitri, unconditional kindness toward self and others, unites family members and restores love.

Note: Contemplative, mindfulness  psychotherapy is a secular approach to psychotherapy. It is not necessary to meditate or follow Buddhist teachings to benefit from it. The practice and philosophy of mindfulness works well with most spiritual and religious traditions.
