The Hakomi Method is at the forefront in the field of mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy. Hakomi is based in the principles of mindfulness, non-violence, organicity, and change.  The root of the work is seated in present moment experience. These experiences illuminate unconscious core material and neural patterns that inform the way we see ourselves and the world. Through a loving, gentle, and safe container, The Hakomi Method assists clients to enter a place of self-study, somatic and emotional exploration, discovery, and profound transformation.

Psychobiological Approaches to Couples Therapy (PACT) Developed by Dr. Stan Tatkin, author of Wired for Love, PACT is a fusion of attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, and arousal regulation. PACT teaches couples to be successful and skillful partners to one another through the principles of secure functioning. Secure functioning means that two adult individuals come together as full-functioning, autonomous agents, sharing power and authority to create an interdependent relationship, fully conditional, based on shared purpose, shared vision, and shared principles. Part of that process includes getting clear about why each individual is choosing the relationship, not based on some fantasy, but rather on the actual service it provides. Once individuals are clear on the why, PACT couple’s therapy focuses on the how. The couple physically turns toward one another and learns to track and know how to care for their partner in present-time with repetition and commitment.

Attachment Theory rests on the understanding that as humans, we have a biological need to bond with each other. Experiences with early relationships and caregivers create a blueprint that informs the sense of safety and security you bring to adult relationships. This blueprint can be updated and revised through exploration of the therapeutic relationship, between client and therapist.
