We understand the unique emotional, psychological, and relational dynamics involved in each stage of this journey, and we offer tailored support to help individuals and families thrive.

Art Therapy for Adults
Art therapy has been used in the field to treat many mental health conditions in adults. No matter how old we get, we never lose the ability to be creative. But sometimes, we may lose touch with that side of ourselves.
Art therapy is a dynamic and diverse approach that can help adults heal in many ways- from finding relief from overwhelming emotions to building skills to become more mindful.
Despite the existing connotation around art therapy, it is not just for children! Our trained art therapist has experience treating grief, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, stress, trauma, and much more in adults.
Art therapy is a holistic and body–centered approach. By tuning into yourself via art therapy, you can fine tune your ability to become more aware and thus more empowered to make change in your life. The ultimate goal is to help you navigate through many of the curve balls that life throws your way.
SOMATIC THERAPY
At Embody + Mind Collective, we offer many different services to guide people through their therapeutic journey. Being body-inclusive, clinicians at Embody + Mind Collective offer somatic psychotherapy. We receive continual training on the most up-to-date research regarding the connection between the mind and body.
Body Psychotherapy has been around for much longer than we likely realize. However, about 30 years ago it was still being considered somewhat “radical” and as such, we at Embody + Mind Psychotherapy understand that these two words (body & psychotherapy) might seem strange when partnered together. And yet, it is through this incredible relationship, between mind and body, that true and lasting healing can happen.
We cannot feel our feelings without sensing something happening in our bodies. We don’t simply think “Oh, I’m excited” and POOF excitement. There is something we are sensing or feeling within our bodies that we then call an emotion. Sure, thoughts are often a big part of our emotional experiences, however to only focus on those during psychotherapy misses the whole picture. And, maybe even more importantly, we are missing a huge potential resource when we are not including our body into our awareness.
What does it mean to “include the body” in psychotherapy? Rather simply put, it means that your clinician at Embody + Mind Collective will take some time to focus on what your body is doing, communicating, and sensing, while you are talking. It might not necessarily even look much differently than other forms of talk therapy; however, the inquiry and curiosity is slightly shifted at moments. Questions like “what are you sensing as you say___?” and “What do you notice in your body as you recall that?” are common within some somatic psychotherapies.
Just like other parts of our worlds, our bodies work to communicate and give us information about our particular experience at any given moment. We just have to learn to slow down and listen. When we can begin to uncouple, or disconnect, the fear from our body we are capable of developing a new relationship with ourselves.
Keeping the above in mind, somatic psychotherapy is a therapy of inquiry, curiosity, and compassion. Practicing somatic psychotherapy requires awareness of and inquisition into the body. It normalizes our own experiences through a non-judgmental standpoint. Somatic psychotherapy invites us to tune into our internal worlds by tracking the gentle (or sometimes not so gentle!) shifts that happen in our physiology. By tracking our senses and learning their relationship with other experiences, what supports them, what challenges them, and what turns them on or off, we can change our relationship with our bodies.
The ultimate goal of Somatic Psychotherapy is to help your nervous system get back into the sense of regulation that it longs for. Since our bodies are longing for both survival and connection, Somatic Psychotherapy helps our dysregulated nervous systems come back into the present moment so that connection becomes possible again. It is from this place that healing and meaningful relationships are possible.
COUPLES THERAPY
At Embody + Mind Collective, we offer couples therapy as a vital resource for navigating the complexities of relationships, especially during significant life transitions like parenthood. Whether facing conflicts related to communication breakdowns, parenting roles, or unresolved issues from the past, our therapists provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space for couples to explore their emotions and work towards resolution. Through collaborative sessions and individualized interventions, we empower couples to deepen their connection, rebuild trust, and cultivate healthier patterns of relating, ultimately fostering greater resilience and harmony in their partnership.
