Holistic Trauma Therapy & Intensives

Trauma is any experience that leaves an emotional, physical or spiritual impact. Most of us have experienced trauma and it’s impact at some point in our lives. Our therapists are trained to specifically work with trauma to help you get the healing you need and deserve.

Chronic Pain & Illness

Living with chronic pain & illness can be debilitating and mentally draining. Unresolved trauma is stored in the body and can often be expressed through chronic pain & illness.

Relational Therapy

Relationships are hard. It can be difficult to navigate relationships with ourselves, family members, friends, co-workers and partners. Our therapists help explore these dynamics and gain skills that can improve the way we experience relationships.

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy & Integration

Psychedelics have been used in holistic medicine and for spiritual practices by various cultures for thousands of years. We offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy and help clients prepare and integrate personal experiences.
