We use traditional forms of therapy, group therapy, clinical assessments, and alternative treatment methods like aroma and music therapy, meditation, and virtual reality (VR) therapy.
Here at our center, the goal is to provide holistic mental-health therapy services. We practice empirically-based methods for our patients with a focus on affect, behavioral, and cognitive processes. As a team, we design your treatment plan with the patient's goals in mind. Our optimal goal is for patients to establish the areas they wish to change, experience the therapeutic process in diversified ways, and be afforded the support needed to accomplish their goals in therapy. In general, we look for evidence of change through obtaining both informal and formal feedback.

The goals here are to develop programs, classes, and mental-health counseling services that are accessible for all, through the use of technology and alternative therapies, such as meditation, bibliotherapy, aroma therapy (aroma freedom technique), music therapy, massage therapy, and virtual reality (VR).
Dr. Wines fundamentally believes people have the capacity to resolve their own problems with awareness and a willingness to change. Her assistance may unlock these abilities, while monitoring and evaluating the process. In relationships, the answers to questions are found by looking at trends and outcomes, along with self-acceptance and a commitment to authentic living. Having a well-balanced life means nurturing oneself and recognizing our existence is made more meaningful when we serve others! Ultimately, true evaluation of the past and present experiences can affect our interpretation of such, which affects how we feel and behave!

In our first session, we will get to know one another. We will discuss your background and how you reached your decision of taking the step towards being a better version of yourself. We will work together to set up goals that you would like to accomplish within the first three months. Next, the client can discuss any additional areas that they would like to focus on for their treatment. I love working with clients that want to put in the work outside of therapy. Therapy is not easy, but as long as the common denominator is consistency then the mindset will be able to focus on the positivity.

In addiction recovery, your biggest adversary is your own mind. Maybe you've asked yourself "why do I have such a strong intent for positive changes, but just as things start to improve I seem to change my mind?" It's the same experience for most of us in recovery; completely normal. Recovery support programs give you the tools you need to transform your life, but what's often missing are the skills needed to use those tools, and a healed nervous system that will allow it. A set of daily practices for both mind and body will change everything for you. Ask about HeartMath and the Safe and Sound Protocol for polyvagal toning!

I use a blend of music therapy, gestalt therapy (self-awareness), and narrative therapy (the stories we tell ourselves) to help clients process what is troubling you, create brave spaces, and build a life you're excited to live.
It probably hasn’t been an easy journey, but I'm glad you're here. Some days you feel a fog in your mind, a heaviness holding you back, or an inability to “fit in”. From starting school, changing jobs, coming out, or losing a loved one, somewhere along the way, your story got out of hand; you feel like you lost yourself. I will support you in rewriting your story and defining who you are.

Music Therapy

How does music therapy work?

A music therapist will begin by assessing the client’s specific needs and getting a sense of their musical ability and interests. Musical training is not required, and clients of all ages can benefit from this type of therapy. The therapist will then make a plan for how to achieve the client’s therapeutic goal(s) using a range of receptive (e.g., listening to a song) and active (e.g., drumming in a group) music therapy techniques.

What are some common music therapy techniques?

Music therapy usually involves listening to music (either live or recorded). Music therapy clients may also make music on popular instruments, such as the piano, guitar, and hand drum, or sing. Sometimes music therapy can include guided imagery. A music therapist may ask clients to improvise on the spot or even compose their own songs. Dancing or moving to music can be an effective intervention to help clients feel more fully grounded in their bodies and remain in the present moment.

How does music therapy help with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Music therapy can be a valuable creative outlet for clients with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have trouble putting their painful feelings into words. Listening to music can be relaxing while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. In addition to its mood-boosting effects, music therapy can help clients build resilience and overcome PTSD symptoms that may interfere with their daily lives.

How long does music therapy take?

Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes. They can be scheduled in advance (for example, once a week) or can be done on an as-needed basis. Some clients will only require a handful of music therapy sessions to achieve their goals, while others may need months or longer, depending on their specific concern.
