What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

CBT is an evidence-backed, goal-oriented form of talk therapy that encourages clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. Replacing negative internal dialog with healthier thoughts has been extensively proven to help combat anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health disorders.

What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?

DBT works alongside CBT to help individuals process their emotions in a healthy and fulfilling way. Marci employs DBT strategies to promote self regulation, mindfulness, and communication---all of which are important skills when it comes to navigating conflict or unpleasant events.

What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?

IFS is an evidence-backed form of psychotherapy that breaks down the individual into more managable "parts." Understanding the goals and motivations of each part of yourself plays a vital role in creating a effective healing plan that works for you.

What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)?

Mental health isn't always psychological. Sometimes it manifests in the body as muscle tension, an elevated heart rate, or difficulty breathing. SE is a body-oriented approach to therapy that is designed to resolve trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation for individuals struggling with anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, or other trauma.

What is meditation?

Meditation is a practice of training the mind to focus and quiet the thoughts. It involves sitting in a comfortable position and directing your attention to a specific object or sensation, such as the breath, a mantra, or a visual image. Through consistent practice, meditation can help you develop greater awareness of your thoughts and emotions, and learn to observe them without judgment or attachment. There are many different types of meditation. Marci combines Zen Buddhist techniques with Vipassana techniques and self-compassion.

Why should I meditate?

Meditation is a powerful tool for achieving mental and physical wellbeing. Regular meditation practice has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration, and promote a sense of calm and inner peace. By learning to quiet the mind and focus on the present moment, you can develop greater self-awareness and a deeper connection to yourself and others. Meditation can also help you cultivate compassion, gratitude, and other positive emotions that enhance your overall quality of life.

What is integrative yoga?

Integrative yoga combines traditional yoga practices with modern therapeutic techniques. It focuses on healing the entirety of the person by treating physical, emotional, and mental stress.
