The overarching approach underlying psychological services is grounded in the principle of fostering integration within self, relationships, and community.
We see integration as the fundamental mechanism of health and wellbeing. Thus, interventions are primarily geared toward facilitating integration, at the individual, relational, and community levels.
We view a healthy mind as emerging from integrated relationships and integrated nervous systems, cultivated within a community life that provides supports and resources for individuals and families to thrive.
Our interventions and services are designed in keeping with recent advances in brain science, neurodevelopmental research, epigenetics, and the growing science of wellbeing. The accumulation of research on the developing brain highlights the importance of neuroplasticity, experience (“use it or lose it”), and relationships in creating healthier neural pathways.
Optimizing these factors translate into resilience and enhanced quality of life. The science of epigenetics emphasizes the dynamic transactional partnership between nature and nurture, which encourages us to improve environmental conditions to mitigate mental health, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental problems. The science behind wellbeing has also been showing compelling evidence on the positive outcomes of practices from ancient wisdom traditions in cultivating overall physical and mental wellbeing.
Our professional training and expertise are geared toward providing services related to
depression, mood disorders, and anxiety, other problems involving emotional and behavioral dysregulation,
cognitive and executive functioning impairments, social/interpersonal functioning difficulties,
co-occurring diagnoses, trauma-based symptoms, chronic stress symptoms,
family and attachment-related issues.
