What is different about Mindful Self Therapy?
At MindfulSelf we work with individuals and couples from many different backgrounds, including those within the creative industry. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trying to break a never ending cycle with your partner or feeling blocked in certain areas of your life, this is the time and place for change. As a mind-body oriented practice, we believe in the deep connection between our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. We combine talk therapy with somatic techniques to help you feel, reprocess, and experience emotions in the moment.

Brainspotting/EMDR
Brainspotting (BSP) and EMDR are brain-body-based therapies that use eye movement and biolateral sounds to heal emotional pain, trauma and blocks.
Can therapy help with blocks, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome?
Yes! Therapy can help you understand the emotional roots beneath feeling stuck and reconnect to your voice with less fear. Many people struggle with perfectionism, rejection sensitivity, identity pressure, and burnout. Therapy helps you untangle self-worth from output, quiet the inner critic, and rebuild safety around being seen.
Creativity and self-expression tend to come more naturally when your nervous system isn’t in constant threat mode.
Because sometimes the problem isn’t you, it’s the pressure, the pace, or the pain you’ve been carrying for too long.
How does therapy work here, step by step?
People are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are our clients. We work with a broad range of individuals, including many who identify as creative in both traditional and unconventional ways.
1) Consultation / first session: clarify goals, concerns, and what support would help
2) Assessment: understand symptoms, history, relationships, and nervous system patterns
3) Treatment plan: choose approaches that fit (relational, somatic, mindfulness, trauma work, etc.)
4) Ongoing sessions: build skills + insight (regulation, boundaries, self-esteem, communication)
5) Integration: apply changes in real life—work, relationships, creativity, identity
6) Maintenance or closing: taper, sustain progress, and create a long-term support plan

Therapy is a wonderful place to start or continue your healing process. The first 3-4 sessions are usually focused on getting to know you, your history, your presenting concerns and collaborate on a treatment plan. From there, we move at your own pace and start to unpack whatever you bring into session.
