Some of our Specialties
Play Therapy for Children and Adolescents
Play therapy offers children a unique and effective way to process their emotions, especially when they struggle to express themselves verbally. Through guided play, children can safely explore difficult feelings such as anxiety, grief, or anger, and communicate them in a way that feels natural to them. This process encourages healthy emotional expression, helping your child to better understand and articulate their thoughts and feelings.
In addition to emotional expression, play therapy equips children with valuable coping skills, allowing them to manage stress, anxiety, and behavioral challenges more effectively. As they engage in play, they develop problem-solving abilities, improve their social interactions, and build confidence. Over time, these skills lead to better emotional regulation and healthier behaviors both at home and in social settings. With the guidance of a trained therapist, play therapy empowers your child to heal, grow, and thrive emotionally.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
“I was in counseling for 11 years straight and needed it even longer. I tried everything and nothing worked for any length of time. Then I was hospitalized, I was tired of seeing different therapists and trying yet another medication. I had given up hope that anything would work. I [saw] myself as broken and unfixable. Then I found DBT! DBT literally saved my life.”
How Loneliness Affects Your Brain
Lonely people quickly move to the edges of social networks — here’s why. Loneliness makes the areas of the brain that are vigilant for threat more active, a new study finds. This can make people who are socially isolated more abrasive and defensive — it’s a form of self-preservation. This may be why lonely people can get marginalised. Professor John Cacioppo, an expert on loneliness, speaking about an earlier study on the marginalisation of the lonely, said: “We detected an extraordinary pattern of contagion that leads people to be moved

Post-COVID Back to School Tips

The Secret To Emotional Control Most People Don’t Know
Better emotional control is linked to lower levels of depression and anxiety. The key to healthy emotional control is to be flexible, new research finds. People with lower levels of depression and anxiety tend to vary their emotional control strategy successfully depending on whether the situation can be explained. Dr Peter Koval, one of the study’s authors, said: “Our results caution against a ‘one strategy fits all’ approach, which may be tempting to recommend based on many previous findings regarding reappraisal as a strategy for regulating emotion. Simply using any
What Your Sleep Position Says About Your Personality
Two surveys hint at links between sleep position, personality and the strength of your relationship. People who are more creative tend to sleep on their left-hand-side, a survey finds. The survey also found that people who are more extraverted tend to sleep closer to their partners. In fact, being in closer contact with your partner during sleep was related to having a better relationship. 12% of couples spend the night less than 1 inch apart. Among these couples, 86% were happy with their relationship. On the other hand, 2% slept
The ‘Extreme’ Sport That Can Help Treat Depression
A walk around the park will work, but this could be more fun! A form of rock climbing called ‘bouldering’ is an effective treatment for depression symptoms, new research finds. Bouldering involves climbing walls or rocks to a moderate height with no ropes or harnesses. The study was inspired by German hospitals, some of which have started using climbing as a treatment for depression. People in the study — most of whom were new to rock climbing — were split into two groups. Those in the rock climbing group did
Family-Based Counseling
Family-Based Therapy (FBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on addressing and resolving psychological and emotional issues within the context of the family unit. It is widely used to treat various mental health and behavioral problems, and its effectiveness has made it a popular choice for families seeking help and support.
Child & Adolescent Therapy
At Mindfully Healing, we believe that every child and adolescent deserves a safe space to express themselves, explore their feelings, and develop the tools they need to thrive. Our dedicated team of licensed therapists is committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy tailored to the unique needs of each young individual. We understand that children and teens face a variety of challenges, from academic stress to emotional struggles. Our therapeutic approach is designed to foster a supportive environment where young clients can feel understood and empowered. Through a blend of play therapy, talk therapy, and family involvement, we aim to help children and adolescents navigate their experiences and emotions.
Counseling for New Mothers
For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.” For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening. Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Online Counseling
Mindfully Healing clinicians are now offering video telehealth therapy services to both new and established clients.
