Our

Mission

Alchemai Counseling + Integrative Wellness Collective is a diversity inclusive practice that provides person-centered holistic psychotherapy using Eastern + Western evidence-based healing modalities rooted in alternative practices, behavioral health, + neuroscience that support the mind, body, + soul in its natural ability to heal. Our orientation is rooted in Esoteric + Buddhist psychology as these perspectives help us develop a higher level perspective + deeper understanding of the mysteries of life, ourselves, + our experiences so we can choose a conscious path forward. Our mission is to empower you to create a healthy, authentic, + aligned life.

Our

Values

Connection

body + mind

We believe the mind, body, + soul are interconnected + the therapeutic process is most effective when all three are engaged. We incorporate self-inquiry, mindful awareness, meditation, + cognitive behavior techniques along with integrative nutrition counseling to support brain + gut health in conjunction with more traditional forms of talk therapy. Our work together will help you develop a healthier connection to yourself as this is one of the most important relationships we’ll ever have in our lifetime. The quality of relationship we have with ourselves sets the foundation for every other relationship we have.

Compassion

compassion

Our main therapeutic goal is to help our clients view themselves through the lens of compassion + understanding rather than judgment. We don’t view our clients as damaged or in need of fixing. Rather, we view them as human beings who are still learning + deserving of empathy, compassion, respect, + support. Suffering tends to comes from unresolved pain + the self-judgment + behavior patterns that follow. We believe our challenges are opportunities for profound personal growth + expansion, + our healing work is about loving ourselves into conscious evolution.

Collaboration

community

The therapeutic experience is different for everyone. Each client we work with has unique life experiences that will be explored to understand how those shaped perspectives, beliefs, + behavior patterns. By increasing self-awareness + understanding of ourselves + our experiences, we’re better equipped to intentionally create the life we envision. My role is to guide you inward to discover your truth + make decisions from a place of self-honor, authenticity, + respect for the quality of life you deserve + desire to create.

Working with a therapist serves to ground + support you while you heal, grow, + move through uncertainty + the challenges that come with making authentic choices. It’s normal to experience contractions when we’re in what I call the death/rebirth life cycle. In order to build the new we must let go of the past + be willing to take steps outside our comfort zone.

Approach

Our

Heal your

mind, body, + soul

Healing requires radical self-honesty, personal accountability + responsibility, + a willingness to shift our perspectives + grow outside our comfort zone. Therapy is about identifying our patterns + the choices we’re making that are creating our reality. Growth is about progress, no perfection. It’s important to understand healing is not a linear process + inner changes are necessary for outer changes to be reflected in our physical reality.

Conscious healing begins the moment we accept the nature of our humanness. Growth is about self-discovery + understanding, radical self-acceptance + decisiveness, choosing with intent, + developing a sense of self-value from a place of self-respect, self-empowerment, + authenticity.

FAQs

  • We offer 50 min. virtual sessions from the comfort of your own space. I recommend taking a few moments before our session to get centered + consider what you’d like to get out of your session. Having a point of focus helps make your sessions more productive.

    We recommend weekly sessions in the beginning to gain momentum toward your goals. Throughout the course of therapy we’ll decide together to make adjustments to the frequency of your visits as needed.

  • Therapy is a healing process that requires time + effort outside of your sessions. Therapists are not here to “fix” you. You’re a human who has been shaped by your experiences + you’re in a process of healing, learning, + growing. Leave self-judgment behind. Rather, our role + responsibility is to provide a safe + confidential space to explore your thoughts + feelings, provide information, objective feedback, + support, + to facilitate a conversation so you can gain clarity + discover your own answers. We provide recommendations, suggestions, + potential solutions based on your goals. There’s a solution to every problem, it’s just a matter of what you’re willing to do.

    Therapy helps you understand yourself better + teaches you how to respond to negative experiences in healthier + more productive ways so you can create the changes you decide.

    To get the most out of your time + investment it’s important you remain open-minded, understand the responsibility you play in your own healing, + lean into the discomfort of self-reflection + self-adjustment. You’re worth your investment!

  • I do not support the profitization + micromanaging of mental health care + therefore do not accept private health insurance. Self-pay services allows you to be the authority over your own care while benefiting from the direct knowledge, wisdom, + expertise of the clinician you’re working with. This approach also ensures your private mental health history + information remains protected + free from potential discriminatory practices. As an out-of-network provider I can provide receipts for possible reimbursement through your insurance. Currently, Venmo is the only form of payment I accept.

    Accelerated Resolution Trauma Therapy | $150

    Relationship Therapy | $150
