Our counseling uses what research shows about how the brain responds to stress, trauma and substance use, and how it can heal. We combine evidence-based therapy, neuroeducation, mindfulness and healthy lifestyle habits to support your recovery.

Our brain-informed services include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of thinking. With repetition, those new habits get stronger.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET): MET helps you explore your own reasons for change and build the motivation to act on them.

Mindfulness and stress reduction: Research suggests mindfulness practice can lower stress and support emotional regulation. We teach simple skills you can use every day.

Nutrition and brain-health education: We share general information about how sleep, exercise and diet affect mood and recovery. For a personal diet plan, we refer you to a registered dietitian.

Neuroeducation: We explain, in plain language, how addiction and trauma affect the brain, so you can understand your reactions and your recovery.

Our brain-informed services are counseling and education. We do not diagnose or treat neurological or medical conditions, or perform brain scans or neurofeedback. We coordinate with your physician when medical care is needed.
