I get it, because I've been there. I was diagnosed with an eating disorder, major depression, and generalized anxiety right out of high school. I had no idea what was happening and quickly fell into some of the darkest spaces of my life. I floundered around wondering "what's the point?" and relied heavily on unhealthy coping mechanisms to make it worth waking up each day. Today, I use my experiences to help others.

The primary psychotherapies I use are Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Attempts to “control” and “get rid” of our thoughts and feelings can leave us feeling powerless and stuck struggling with our problems in life. Instead of continuing that endless battle against anxiety, sadness, and all the other hurdles life throws at us, let’s help you identify how your mind can trap you, keeping you stuck against your problems. The most common struggles I help clients learn to change their relationships with are anxiety and intrusive thoughts, career stressors, and eating concerns.

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.
