Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Hardwick, VT
I use mindfulness, body based practices, and expressive arts, as allies in the supportive process of self-exploration and healing.
Each life is sacred and all life deserves freedom, happiness, abundance, and connection. Yet through the patterning of wounding, we so often harm ourselves or others through our relation to these unmet needs. Past narratives live on into our present lives through the manifestations of anxiety, depression, addiction, poor or abusive relationships, and...the list goes on. But all wounds can heal if given the proper attention and time.

As a somatic, mindfulness, and nature-based mental health counselor, I work with individual adults in identifying and affirming gifts and strengths; finding and maintaining calm, connection, and contentment; and creating new patterns that encourage health, growth, and resilience through life’s changes. A session with me might include movement exploration (informed by dance/movement therapy and yoga), awareness-building exercises ( mindfulness and meditation), and therapeutic conversation. Sessions can be in my sunny office, online, or outdoors among the trees - an opportunity to gain insight and inspiration from the natural world.

Everyone has the capacity to grow and to heal. It's easy to get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, limit our perspective and perpetuate suffering. I'd like to help you explore what you need to gain resilience, to discover joy. I'm a good active listener with a big heart. My art background and compassion practice inform all I do. In therapy, we'll look at the larger picture together: notice the patterns and the narratives you've created about them, the self-judgments, the emotions that can (but don't need to) run the show, the places you feel stuck. My practice is client-centered. I honor you and your self-expertise.

Setting life enhancing goals will guide us as we engage in behavioral modification, cognitive re-framing using mindfulness, stress reduction, body awareness, journals, dreams and many other therapeutic strategies.
I believe losing touch with our life purpose can lead to depression, anxiety, mood imbalances, and disconnection to Self. By utilizing talk therapy, goals and embracing the here and now, we have opportunities to reach for and reconnect with healing spirit, opening a portal in which one resolves the obstacles holding us back; This journey facilitates access to a path of self discovery of the deeper meaning and gifts we hold in life. Like an onion, peeling away limiting layers of self-beliefs and the attending reactivity to those beliefs, one can foster deeper awareness of life experience, and a renewal of our sense of purpose.

Living with addictions, such as substance, alcohol, gambling. gaming and other process addictions, and cooccurring disorders can be very disruptive. Addiction can lead to poor choices resulting in relationship difficulties, legal issues and health concerns. Most people simply want the chaos to stop and to find stability in their lives. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance and work with each individual to develop an unique approach to develop the stability that has been illusive. I have a person centered approach and will employ a combination of methods that best match your needs.

Healing goes beyond symptom relief—it’s about exploring who you truly are. We often build an “ego” to meet others’ expectations, but this can keep us from our deeper selves. Together, we’ll peel back these layers, not to remove the ego but to understand it. Vulnerability here is powerful; it helps soften old wounds and release limiting beliefs. Using mindfulness and self-compassion, you’ll start connecting to your true values and gain resilience. Therapy offers a safe space to reconnect with your inner wisdom, embrace your genuine self, and discover a more fulfilling way of being.

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.
