Spirituality and/or religion can provide comfort, social and emotional support, moral guidelines, and purpose in life, especially during difficult phases of life. Spiritual counseling is a holistic approach to healing that includes a person’s spiritual beliefs and practices. It is a way to practice attuning ourselves to messages from our minds, bodies, and spirit, and the meaning that we make out of experiences. Spiritual well-being is a central need for many people and the potential for wholeness comes from the interconnection to our higher self. This holistic and embodied form of therapy takes into account all aspects of a human being. No religion, all religions, and atheists are welcome. Spirituality does not need to include a belief in God or an afterlife. There are numerous philosophical ways that we can look at the ups and downs of life in order to create a more meaningful and profound life.

To be able to truly live and understand life fully, it’s impossible not to learn and understand more about death. Life and death are intertwined, they can’t be separated and the one can’t exist without the other. Death is a part of natural life; however, society is notorious for being uncomfortable with death and dying as a topic on the whole. Many caregivers experience a level of burden during end-of-life care, some people do not have someone to speak with about their approaching death, others are faced with a potentially terminal diagnosis. This experience is multi-faceted and usually includes the grief of impending loss. We believe it imperative for people to have access to the care and support they require when entering a transitional phase of life. A death with dignity may be achieved when death is congruent with the values of the person, their culture, their spiritual beliefs, and their community. We aim to recognize and identify these values and cater to them in order to foster death as a unique living experience to be treasured as any other experience so that peace, joy, and wholeness can be achieved.

Trauma means many different things, and there is no one way that people will respond to life experiences. The way trauma impacts a person depends on how what has happened is interpreted, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. Trauma-informed therapy is not a specific intervention, but rather taking an individual’s history, triggers, and specific needs into context. Therapy is approached collaboratively with a complete picture of the client’s life in mind, including the impact of trauma. Learning how our past wounds currently impact our mental, emotional, and physical wellness is emphasized and embodied somatic approaches are utilized to support calming the nervous system and releasing stuck emotions. There is a focus on understanding the connection between stress or trauma and our present responses.

The transition into parenthood is a time of intense transformation as you learn to prepare your body and mind for pregnancy, parenthood, taking care of your new child, and potential recovery. We focus on providing emotional support and implementing self-care practices for a smoother transition into the birth process or parenthood. Support can include rites of passage ceremonies, exploring and releasing fears, mindfulness and visualization practices, affirmations and mantras, mental preparation for anticipated pain, navigating depressive and/or anxiety symptoms, and processing emotions that may get triggered through this process. We provide emotional and mental health support for people experiencing post-partum depression and explore what is at the core of symptoms, rather than simply addressing symptom management. We work with mothers at any point in their journey, whether their child is months old or almost grown.

Anxiety and stress can have a significant impact on the mind, body, and day-to-day behaviors. Symptoms can include racing and worried thoughts, feeling we can’t turn off the noise in our heads, fears, paranoia, muscle tension, restlessness, gut issues, immune issues, nail biting, hair pulling, scratching, picking, cutting, and uncontrollable crying. People who experience anxiety and stress are typically aware of how, and even why, anxiety manifests in themselves but not how to respond to it. Our aim is to help bring the nervous system back into balance from a bottom-up approach so that symptoms don’t manifest, and if they do, the response to them is effective and harmless.

We specialize in working with anorexia nervosa and binge-eating disorder. Individuals who have had prior treatment related to disordered eating and who are physically stable are typically a better fit, although please inquire about your unique situation and goals. Many individuals who experience eating disorders have gone through various types of treatments and have been successful at managing harmful behaviors but continue to feel uncomfortable in their bodies and struggle with intense self-judgment and chronic stress. Our approach utilizes mind-body somatic techniques that support people in finding safe ways to connect to their bodies and creating a more accepting relationship with their whole selves. Disordered behaviors and how they have been of service are acknowledged, rather than fought or avoided, so that they can be more deeply explored and core issues that underlie behaviors can be fully addressed.

Psychedelic preparation and education includes, but is not limited to, what to expect from specific psychedelics, potential risks and benefits, current research outcomes and protocols, mindset and environmental setting and why these are crucial to explore, and safety topics in underground or foreign guided psychedelic experiences. We do not promote the use of illegal substances, but we teach a harm-reduction and educational approach around the use of psychedelics. Currently, cannabis and ketamine are the only legal substances for assisted therapy services. MDMA and psilocybin are legally available via clinical trials facilitated by MAPS.

Integration restructures the mind, body, and spirit after an experience of a non-ordinary state of consciousness, especially one involving psychedelics. It involves therapeutic and somatic processing of the experience and support incorporating insights into a lived daily experience. Integration centers on compassion, empathy, education, and safety to create a transformative experience of the psyche and spirit and create an easier transition into day-to-day life with new perspectives and ways of being in the world.

CAPT is rooted in trauma-informed, transpersonal, somatic, mindfulness-based therapies, and current best practice psychedelic therapy methods with cannabis as the psychedelic medicine. Cannabis activates both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system simultaneously, allowing emotional pain or resistance stored in the cells and connective tissues of the body to be more tolerably experienced, thus creating the conditions for potential resolution, discharge and healing. Furthermore, unlike some other psychedelics, cannabis typcially allows the participant to maintain more agency throughout the process, choosing how deep to go, at what pace, or when to titrate out of the experience. A consultation session and a minimum of three preparation sessions are required to schedule a cannabis-assisted session.
