The Way Of Connection

A wholehearted therapy practice

Providing compassionate therapy services to promote growth, self-awareness, and meaningful healing

You Are Not Alone

Do you see yourself in any of these statements? Many people struggle with the symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Our growth often begins by naming what we're experiencing.

Anxiety

"I cannot relax. My mind is always going. Most of the time I feel a sense of dread, like something bad is definitely going to happen. My chest is tight, I wake up with my heart racing."

Depression

"I'm just exhausted. I have no motivation, and even when I try nothing feels satisfying. I'm pretty sure no one wants to be around me, and I don't have the energy to pretend I'm ok. It's like I have 50 lb weights dragging my body down."

Grief

"Some days I feel angry, other days I feel so sad. And then sometimes I just feel blank, empty. I'll have a good day here and there, and then another wave comes and it knocks me down. It's hard not to feel alone in this as the rest of the world continues on with life."

Trauma

"I just don't feel safe. Sometimes it feels like I have to be on high alert all the time, and other times I feel totally shut down, almost like I'm not even there. I can't get the nightmares and memories to stop. They seem to come out of nowhere sometimes. I'm exhausted and I don't know what's wrong with me."

Benefits

Therapy can have a wide range of benefits, specific to each person and deeply influenced by the relationship between you and your therapist. When you have found the right fit, the opportunity for change in your relationship with yourself and your life becomes possible.

Coping Skills

Together with your therapist, you can work to create skills and practices to help manage your emotions and maintain balance in your day to day life.

Self-awareness

Change starts with awareness. We cannot work on what we do not see. Therapy offers a supportive space to find a deeper understanding of who you are and what factors have contributed to your lifelong patterns.

Mind-Body Connection

Many of us have become detached from our bodies, or are struggling with an imbalance between our mind and body. Overthinking can be a result of this imbalance. Your therapist can offer both space and practical resources to help restore the balance, creating more clarity and embodiment in your day to day life.

Self-compassion

Many of us are so hard on ourselves. That inner voice that criticizes and shames us often has good intentions, but can result in behaviors that hold us back from what we truly desire. Your relationship with your therapist can be a great place to start cultivating self-compassion, to learn that you are worthy of care, not just from others, but from yourself.

Boundaries

Boundaries can help us maintain healthy, caring relationships with others and with ourselves. Therapy can help us identify our boundaries, empower us to set those boundaries, and keeps us accountable in doing the difficult work of maintaining them.

We'd love to hear from you!
