Our Team & Philosophy

The common thread through everything our practice does is our founder’s saying, "The story always wins". The story you believe about yourself and what you deserve is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, and rewrite it. Our approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, and discard the things that cause you pain or are no longer productive. We believe, when people are asked the right questions and given the space to be heard, they can find their own answers.

We have an agreement with everyone we see: Our sessions are confidential, we will be honest with each other, and although we are free to say anything we want to each other, we won't disrespect each other. We think those things have to be in place so that our relationship provides a foundation to do hard work. 

What makes us different?

S.T.O.R.Y.™ based narrative therapy- “The Story Always Wins”

Repeating self- defeating patterns? Feelings of shame & disconnection? Struggling with perfectionism? Fear of failure? We use elements of the work of thought leaders like Jeffery Young (schemas) and Brene' Brown (shame/ vulnerability/ worthiness). This can be helpful in building and changing perspectives, identifying patterns and stories we carry around, and working towards being more authentic.

We specialize in handling you, and each other, with care.

You don’t need to have a history of trauma to receive therapy here, but our trauma informed care approaches ensure you won’t be mishandled. We have been thorough about having each practitioner trained in multiple modalities (types of therapy) for helping people process painful experiences, in ways that are empathic, validating and culturally competent.

We also are intentional about how we handle our practitioners at Hiatus Wellness. We are small and know each other well. Your clinician here makes their own schedule, can work a hybrid online/ in person schedule, can take days off whenever they want, and isn’t expected to answer their phone on their days off. We believe that the person that provides you with care, should be well too. The benefits will trickle down to you.
