Befriend Your Mind
Compassionate support when life feels unsteady
We offer guidance for seasons of life that feel heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming to help you work with your mind instead of against it and intentionally shape a life that reflects your deepest values.
Focus areas
What you might be navigating...
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to start therapy. We support individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed or disconnected.
Anxiety and worry
Self-criticism
Perfectionism and burnout

Our Philosophy
Change rarely comes from pushing harder.
It grows from learning how to relate to your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with more steadiness and self-compassion.
We blend evidence-based approaches (ACT, MCT, CFT, mindfulness) with a calm, structured presence.
You'll learn practical tools you can use in daily life, not just during sessions. Our work is grounded in your lived experience and paced to feel doable, not overwhelming.

— Riley & Susan, Couples Therapy Clients
“The intensive gave me tools I use in daily life, not just ideas I try and forget.”

Individual therapy
Individual Therapy Sessions
Steady, one-on-one support to help you reduce rumination, navigate overwhelm, and build skills you can use immediately so you feel more grounded and show up more fully in your life.
This can be helpful if you are:
Caught in anxiety, worry, or constant overthinking
Moving through burnout or stress that's hard to switch off
Stuck in self-criticism that keeps you feeling “never enough”
Couples Work
Couples Therapy Sessions
A steady space to soften recurring patterns, improve communication, and rebuild connection—whether you're strengthening a long-term partnership or preparing for deeper commitment.
This can be helpful when:
Conflicts keep looping without real resolution
You feel distant, misunderstood, or less like a team
Communication feels tense or quickly escalates
Focused intensives
Couples Retreats
An immersive, focused space for partners who want to create meaningful change in a short period of time. Retreats combine deep therapeutic work with practical skills, giving you the time and structure to reconnect, reset, and rebuild.
An intensive is a good fit if:
You want pace for reflection, reconnection, and shared meaning
You feel stuck in patterns that are hard to shift in weekly sessions
You want to strengthen your relationship in a dedicated, uninterrupted space
