The Deeper Work
Extending beyond the triad of body-mind-spirit, our holistic approach explores emotional, relational, behavioral, existential, and spiritual dimensions of the lived experience.
Depending on your needs and what emerges in therapy, The Deeper Work may include:
Understanding patterns
Exploring recurring emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns and where they may have originated
Exploring your life story
Looking at the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and turning points that have shaped the understanding of yourself
Meaning-making
Exploring what difficult experiences mean to you and how they may be influencing the person you are becoming
Existential exploration
Making space for questions about identity, freedom, responsibility, mortality, purpose, choice, belonging, and life's contemplations
Symbolic and reflective work
When appropriate, exploring dreams, imagery, metaphors, personal symbols, or other experiences as pathways into parts of yourself that may be difficult to access through conversation alone
Spiritual exploration
If spirituality is important to you, therapy can provide a grounded space to explore spiritual beliefs, curiosities, experiences, values, or periods of spiritual uncertainty
Integration
Bringing insight back into everyday life- your relationships, choices, boundaries, work, habits, and sense of direction
A Note on Spirituality
Exploration, practice, and integration of spirituality is intimately personal; sacred some say. You may come to therapy with already deeply held beliefs that could provide a strong foundation for treatment; you may be curious about spiritual exploration; you may be somewhere in-between. We meet you right where you are to support you through these potentially transformative discoveries.
