The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts
Help us create something special
The Center for Connection, Healing and Change was created as a soulful, creative and collaborative space for like-minded professionals to thrive in their work.
We believe in the power of secure connection and align with models that focus on attachment, family systems, trauma, emotion regulation, somatic psychotherapy. We interweave evidence-based models and neuroscience with the timeless wisdom of the body to offer truly holistic care to our clients.
Our treatment philosophy offers a powerful and non-pathologizing way to understand, organize, and heal our human struggles at their core. We are wired for connection and keeping this need front and center in the therapeutic relationship lends itself to experiences of safety, organization, validation, and transformation.
We practice what we preach by investing in our connections with each other and being committed to ongoing ‘person of the therapist’ work. In order to connect with the struggles of our clients we must also be in connection with our own human vulnerabilities, wounds, strengths, and survival strategies. We must be willing to connect, heal, and grow ourselves so that we can appreciate the daunting journey of growth and healing our clients are willing to undertake.
