Some of our current therapeutic modalities include Yoga Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Mindful Self Compassion, Breathwork, Philosophical Consultation, Transpersonal Psychology, Spiritual Coaching, Meditation, and Chaplaincy. Some of the modalities we are eager to include are Contemplative Psychotherapy, Indigenous Healing, Martial Arts Therapy, Contemplative Arts, Dreamwork, and many more.
