OUR APPROACH
We are here to help you realize that you are not broken.
That feeling shitty every day is not normal. That the alarm systems called depression and anxiety are not always chemical imbalances in your brain like you’ve been lead to believe, but your bodies way of letting you know that something isn’t right.
Boutique Therapy
We believe in a humanist approach. One that strives to depathologize the human condition. We believe you are a whole person, and you are made up of every experience and relationship you’ve encountered. You re not a diagnostic label.
We believe in keeping our practice and case loads intentionally small so that we can practice and model self care. As a result, you get the best, most individualized care.
Our Approach
Evolutionary mismatch. This is the term used in the medical literature to encompass the root cause of most modern ills. We are living a lifestyle – diet, stress level, movement and sunlight deficiency, toxic exposures, pharmaceuticals – that is incompatible with what our genome has evolved, over millions of years, to expect. Psychsomatica is here to help you reconfigure and find the right balance for you.
Therapy with us is not singular.
We believe in connection, community and individual + collective care
We work best with clients who are ready and willing to commit to making serious changes in their lives in order to get to where they want to be.
