Your mind is racing, your heart is beating fast, your breathing quickly, your shoulders are tense, and the thoughts keep going to what if. It feels like too much. We are living in an ever-changing and expanding world that is filled with uncertainty, which can create intense feelings of anxiety. Therapy can help you learn both cognitive and body-based tools to help anxiety feel manageable, and to separate yourself from your anxiety so that it does not feel overwhelming.

“Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the making of action in spite of fear, the moving out against the resistance engendered by fear into the unknown and into the future.”

~ M. Scott Peck

You feel like a weight is holding you down, your body feels sluggish and it feels hard to do much of anything, you feel like your mind is wrapped in a deep fog, you feel lost, and maybe like you have been wandering for a long time. Depression and sadness can show up for people in many different ways. Through therapy we will learn more about how depression looks for you and we will support you as you find your path through the dark and reach your full potential.

"To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings."

~Wendell Berry

We fight, flee, freeze, or fawn in the face of danger. We grow around that part that was harmed learning how to cope and just get through each day. We are strong and resilient and our bodies remember even when our minds do not. At Beyond Psychotherapy we offer creative, somatic and trauma focused therapy approaches to address past trauma and cultivate healing. The therapy process can give space to be witnessed, validated, and find healing from the harm that you have experienced when you are ready, you are never rushed or pushed into a direction you do not want to go.

gives you

so much pain

and here you are

making gold out of it"

Your body and mind feel exhausted, how can you continue on? Everything feels hard and you may be wondering what is the point anymore. Somedays just the basic tasks may feel like too much. Through therapy we can support you in restructuring priorities, tuning into what matters, and create space for deep rest and inspiration so that you can find the energy for life and the things you enjoy again.

"Beginning is difficult, and our procrastination is a fine ever-present measure of our reluctance in taking that first close-in, courageous step to reclaiming our happiness."

~David Whyte

Does your mind feel like a race car? Thoughts flying from one thing to the next, unable to keep track of tasks, and your mind is distracted by every little thing? Maybe you can focus for hours if it is something that you are deeply interested in and passionate about? Do you find others hard to read and feel others can't read you? For neurodiverse individuals, which can include ADHD and Autism, it is about finding the way that works best for you. It is about finding ways to make the neurotypical world work for your neurodiverse brain and cultivating the supports for your specific needs. We will support you in cultivating your unique strengths to continue to grow and thrive.

"The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need. They’ll make their own boxes."

~ Dr. Temple Grandin

Who are you? How do you present yourself to the world? How do you want to be seen? Who do you want to be when you grow up? Being our authentic vulnerable selves is scary and at times not safe. Therapy can offer a safe place to fully be ourselves and tap into what it means to be our beautifully human selves. Therapy can give a safe space to explore who we are and what we want to do in the world.

"I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me"

~ This is Me, song by Keala Settle
