Personal growth and transformation is a sacred journey. It’s choosing to go beyond our current level of “knowing” to rework and make space for an expanded awareness. An awareness that enables peace, joy, and a deeper anchoring in the beauty of who we really are. 

The human experience is filled with difficult, unexpected, and unexplainable experiences that can sometimes leave an imprint that hangs out in our “blind spot” or subconscious as we go forward in life.

I specialize in working with hard-working, goal-oriented, perfectionists who are experiencing the tolls of chronic stress. Many of my clients have roles caring for others, for example: healthcare workers, teachers, parents, and business owners. Fatigue, irritability, insomnia, brain fog, imposter anxiety, and burnout are common struggles I see in my practice. Because, for many caregiver/healer types, taking time to nurture ourselves can be incredibly challenging. At Nurtured Psychology we work together to regain a sense of balance and to reconnect with ease and joy in your roles.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
