Clinical Areas
Grief & Bereavement Counseling
Bereavement and grief aren’t light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
Online Counseling
Mindfully Healing clinicians are now offering video telehealth therapy services to both new and established clients.
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? You might be feeling depressed or deep despair.
Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

Our Therapy Specialties
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Although some traumatic experiences such as rape, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes. The process is very straightforward, using relaxing eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which the negative images are stored in the brain. The treatment is grounded in well-established psychotherapy techniques, and the end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured short-term method (8 to 20 times), originally developed for couples therapy, based on attachment science, developed in the 1980s. The EFT intervention integrates an experiential method focused on being human to reconstruct emotional experience and a systematic structural method to reconstruct interaction. There have been a large number of studies on the efficacy of EFT. This study shows that over time, the effect of treatment is great and the results are stable. EFT has been used successfully by many different types of couples in private clinics, college training centers, and hospital clinics. The preliminary study is for couples suffering from depression, trauma-induced anxiety, medical illness, and difficulty forgiving. EFT is used for different cultural groups and educational levels in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa, and Asia. It is used for both traditional and non-traditional couples, including same-sex couples.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a psychotherapeutic model that views the human psyche as a complex system composed of distinct inner parts, each with its unique emotions, intentions, and roles. At the core of IFS is the concept of the "Self," representing an individual's calm, compassionate, and integrated center. IFS therapists guide clients in identifying and understanding their inner parts, addressing emotional conflicts, and fostering cooperation among these parts. By doing so, individuals can heal emotional wounds, enhance self-awareness, reduce symptoms of distress, and ultimately achieve self-leadership, promoting personal growth, emotional balance, and well-being.
Post Induction Therapy (PIT)
Post Induction Therapy (PIT) is an approach to trauma treatment and recovery that was developed by Pia Mellody, a renowned clinical consultant, lecturer, and author. It is designed to address the impact of childhood trauma, dysfunctional family systems, and the ongoing effects of such experiences.
PIT incorporates a range of therapeutic techniques and interventions, drawing from various therapeutic modalities such as psychoeducation, experiential therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. It aims to help individuals heal from the wounds of early emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect and abandonment.
The therapy process in PIT involves identifying and resolving trauma-related issues, developing healthy coping skills, and promoting personal growth and resilience. It provides a structured framework for individuals to work through their traumatic experiences, understand the underlying dynamics of their past, and heal from the resulting emotional and psychological wounds.
Through PIT, individuals learn to regulate their emotions, address maladaptive coping mechanisms, and rebuild their self-esteem and self-worth. It focuses on helping individuals develop healthier boundaries, improve communication and relational skills, and create a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
PIT is typically facilitated by therapists or clinicians who have received specialized training in the approach. The therapy sessions are tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each individual, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.
By addressing the root causes of trauma and dysfunctional patterns, Post Induction Therapy aims to empower individuals to overcome the impact of their early experiences, heal from the wounds of the past, and build a healthier and more fulfilling future.
