Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt or unworthiness? Do these emotions seep into your daily life, relationships and overall sense of satisfaction? Perhaps you often feel overwhelmed and consumed by the pressures of living up to other people’s standards, continuous comparison to others, and/or fear being judged, rejected, or causing upset. Overthinking is far too familiar, leaving you feeling stuck in a cycle with no clear way out. You might catch yourself downplaying your struggles with thoughts like “It’s not a big deal…I should be handling this better…” Despite your best efforts, you’re left feeling unsteady.

I am a psychotherapist who works with adults. My focus is meeting clients where they are and allowing them to set their own goals, but I can only take our time in therapy and creating lasting change as seriously as my clients are willing to. We work together to set timely and achievable benchmarks and regularly review the treatment plan to track progress towards termination as a way to make sure we spend out time together efficiently. Overall, I will always prioritize my clients as long as they are willing to show up on time and do the work.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
