Individual Therapy
Are you stuck in an unhelpful pattern, have a difficulty in a relationship, or are experiencing (or have experienced) trauma?
Anyone who hasn’t seen the progress they wanted using other forms of therapy, including traditional talk therapy, might benefit from a new approach that provides a different framework through which we can understand our experience.
Modern Mind & Heart practices online only, and no longer offers regular in person sessions.
Due to licensing regulations, clients located in the United States must be physically located in the state of Illinois or Florida at the time of service.
“Trauma is not a flaw or a weakness. It is a highly effective tool of safety and survival. Trauma is also not an event. Trauma is the body’s protective response to an event—or a series of events—that it perceives as potentially dangerous.”
- Resmaa Menakem
Using the Polyvagal Theory to Support Individual Therapy
The polyvagal theory is a different angle, science informed, that helps clients make sense of their experience and get out of age-old, well-worn narratives. Make peace with your nervous system responses by changing your relationship with your nervous system and adaptive survival responses.
Values at Modern Mind & Heart:
-
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Modern Mind & Heart is committed to practice that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, and seeks to decolonize the therapy practice. Anti-racism is a foundational value at Modern Mind & Heart. Understanding cultural influences, racialized trauma, and ancestry are priority in the therapy space.
-
Transparency
Transparency is a core value at Modern Mind & Heart. Clients can expect transparency in your clinician’s work, including limitations of experience and knowledge, as well as about the therapeutic process. This is important in building trust, and is an essential element of our anti-racist commitment.
-
Embodiment
Practitioners at Modern Mind & Heart are committed to living the model, and embodying the principles being taught and celebrated. This means that clinicians’ own healing work never ends, and your therapist is committed to living the model being offered to you.
How Our Therapy Process Works
Once you learn and befriend your nervous system, you gain a sense of empowerment.
You will be able to access curiosity and compassion for yourself, which is crucial to healing and meaningful change. Not only do most people develop a sense of curiosity and compassion for themselves, they develop the ability to create safe connections and have abundant empathy for others, and reduce reactivity and distress.
With nervous system guided counseling, you will have the tools to work toward decreased anxiety, depression, and unhelpful adaptive patterns and behaviors.
Please reach out for a free, :20 consultation to see if we’ll be a good fit.
