Rooted in Buddhist psychology and Western psychotherapy, mindfulness-based core process focuses on the belief that we all have an inherent capacity for well-being, clarity, and self-understanding. This therapy integrates mindfulness—awareness of present-moment experience—with the exploration of unconscious patterns, emotions, and beliefs that may be shaping our lives.
Rather than focusing solely on fixing problems or symptoms, Core Process Psychotherapy invites you to become more present with yourself, fostering deeper self-awareness and insight. The therapeutic relationship creates a safe and accepting space where you can explore both past wounds and current challenges, allowing healing to emerge organically. By developing a greater sense of connection with yourself and your experiences, you can uncover new ways of relating to life, fostering greater resilience, self-acceptance, and freedom.
Sessions are a blend of gentle inquiry, embodied awareness, and mindful presence, encouraging you to stay curious about what arises in the moment. This approach is particularly helpful for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a general sense of disconnection. Ultimately, Core Process Psychotherapy supports deep personal growth, helping you reconnect with your innate sense of self, peace, and wholeness.
