Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that support emotional regulation and self-compassion.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what is most helpful.
