Therapy
-
We work with an integrative, mind-body approach that honors both the mind and the body. In addition to traditional talk therapy, we use evidence-based practices like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic therapy to access deeper levels of change. Our therapists guide you to build awareness of patterns, regulate emotions, align with your values, strengthen relationships, and empower meaningful transformation.
-
There’s no “one-size-fits-all.”
Short-term (6-20 sessions): Often enough for focused work (e.g., managing anxiety, navigating a life transition, clarifying goals).
Medium-term (several months to one year): Common for relationship patterns, ongoing stress, or deeper exploration.
Long-term (a year or more): Best for complex trauma, ingrained habits, or sustained personal growth.

Therapy is designed to help with emotional distress, mental health conditions, and healing from past experiences. It involves diagnosing and treating patterns, trauma, anxiety, or depression. Coaching focuses on goal-setting, performance, and future-oriented growth—not on treating mental illness. Since our therapists are licensed in California, we only provide psychotherapy to California residents. Coaching is an option for out-of-state clients—but note: EMDR cannot be offered through coaching, though somatic work and parts-work can be.

Sometimes your mind knows the story is in the past, but your body still holds the imprint.
EMDR and somatic therapy work with that deeper layer — the felt sense that talk alone can’t always reach.
We’ll help you decide whether these approaches match what you’re hoping to heal.

It’s common to feel this way in the early weeks. Let your therapist know how things are going—together you can adjust the approach or clarify your goals. If after 2-3 sessions you still feel misaligned, you’re welcome to speak directly with our founder, Jori Adler, to explore a better fit.

Weekly sessions offer the strongest foundation for lasting change. They help you build momentum, process emotions in real time, and deepen insight from one session to the next.
That said, we know many people are juggling full lives, and bi-weekly sessions are becoming more common. While weekly sessions are ideal - especially in the beginning - we’re here to support a rhythm that works for you and your goals.
