Some of our Specialties
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.
CBT is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.
If you or someone you know would benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, please reach out today. We would be happy to speak with you about how a Mindfully Healing therapist may be able to help.
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.
The First Impression Men And Women Find Most Attractive
Some will be updating their dating profile pics after reading this! Women find swaggering or brooding men more attractive than happy guys, research finds. Less smiling makes a man look more masculine, it turns out. The results were the exact opposite for women. Professor Jessica Tracy, the study’s first author, said: “While showing a happy face is considered essential to friendly social interactions, including those involving sexual attraction — few studies have actually examined whether a smile is, in fact, attractive. This study finds that men and women respond very
The Breakthrough Drugs That Lift Depression In Hours
Paradigm shift in the treatment of serious depression and bipolar disorder. Ketamine and related drugs can treat major depressive disorder and bipolar depression inside 24-hours, the latest studies are finding. It rapidly reduces suicidal thoughts. Some doctors have begun to use the drugs ‘off-label’ to help people with treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine is a type of anaesthetic that studies have shown produces a rapid antidepressant effect, a new review of the research finds. Two hours after being injected the drug begins to work and its effects reach their peak after 24
The Brain Training Found To Treat Severe Depression
Small study sees improvements in those with ‘untreatable’ depression with no side-effects. Learning to control your own brain waves could be an effective treatment for severe depression, new research finds. The small pilot study found that a technique called neurofeedback helped severely depressed people whose depression had proved very hard to treat. Neurofeedback involves patients concentrating on a readout of their own brain waves. Over time, people can learn to control and change them. Professor Eun-Jin Cheon, the study’s first author, said: “Neurofeedback has been trialed with psychological conditions in
A Weird Psychological Cure For Back Pain And Tiredness
Back pain treatment could also help treat depression, fatigue and common digestive disorders. Taking a placebo — a fake pill — reduces back pain 30% even when people know it is fake. Professor Ted Kaptchuk, one of the study’s authors, explained: “These findings turn our understanding of the placebo effect on its head. This new research demonstrates that the placebo effect is not necessarily elicited by patients’ conscious expectation that they are getting an active medicine, as long thought. Taking a pill in the context of a patient-clinician relationship —

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.
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.
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.
