Some of our Specialties
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.”
Clinical Hypnosis (Hypnotherapy)
Clinical Hypnosis is sometimes referred to as Hypnotic Relaxation Therapy (or HRT) because it involves the use of relaxation, mental imagery, and suggestion for a therapeutic purpose.
HRT involves learning how to use your mind and thoughts in order to manage emotional distress (e.g., anxiety, stress), unpleasant physical symptoms (e.g., pain, nausea), or to help you change certain habits or behaviors (e.g., overeating, impulsivity).
The Type of People Most Likely To Be Manipulative, Self-Admiring Psychopaths
The type of people most likely to be psychopaths, narcissists and manipulators. People who have a tendency to stay up late are more likely to exhibit anti-social personality traits, like narcissism and psychopathy. Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy — menacingly called ‘the Dark Triad’ — were all linked with the preference for late bedtimes in research published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences (Jonason et al., 2013). Dr. Peter K. Jonason, explained: “Those who scored highly on the Dark Triad traits are, like many other predators such as lions and
How Emotions Enter Our Dreams and Impact Our Health
Society seems to condition us to always appear calm and in full control of how we feel, no matter the circumstances. Suppressing emotions may seem like a great way to prove that you’re strong and not a weak crybaby but hiding how you really feel can have serious health consequences such as mental fatigue, […]
The Facial Features That Reveal Your Social Class
“Over time, your face comes to permanently reflect and reveal your experiences.” Just by looking at your face, people can reliably tell whether you are rich or poor, a new study finds. And on that basis, they also make other judgements: for example, that rich people are more likely to be hired for a job. PhD candidate Thora Bjornsdottir, who led the study, said: “It indicates that something as subtle as the signals in your face about your social class can actually then perpetuate it. Those first impressions can become
How Most People Are Killing Their Productivity
It can feel really good but it is reducing productivity by up to 40%. Multitasking can reduce productivity by up to 40%, research finds. And now brain scans show why. Changing from one activity to another interferes with brain activity. This makes the end result much worse than if we focus on one thing at a time. Dr Iiro Jääskeläinen, a neuroscientist and one of the study’s authors, said: “We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure different brain areas of our research subjects while they watched short segments of
Here’s What Suicidal Thoughts Do To The Brain
First study to find these changes in the brains of depressed people experiencing suicidal thoughts. People experiencing suicidal thoughts have a certain type of inflammation in their brain, new research finds. Microglial cells activate as part of the body’s inflammatory response. The researchers found that these immune cells were more active in depressed people who were also having suicidal thoughts. The study suggests that neuroinflammation could play an important role in suicidal thoughts and behaviour. It may also offer another route to treat this type of depression: through the use

Online Counseling
Mindfully Healing clinicians are now offering video telehealth therapy services to both new and established clients.
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.
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
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.
