Science-based therapy delivered with heart
We specialize in holistic healing and transformational personal growth. Our dedicated therapists provide affirming relationships and science-based therapy.
Balancing Science & Compassion
A genuine connection with your therapist is just as important as the treatment approach. At Head & Heart, we know both elements must be in balance. We cultivate therapeutic relationships grounded in authenticity, curiosity, and acceptance. We take our work seriously and implement proven, effective methods.
Find the Support You Need
We implement cutting-edge techniques to help you heal.
Our approach is:
-
We show up with heart. While we take our work seriously, we aren’t stoic, Freudian types. Effective therapy depends on a genuine connection with your therapist: the therapeutic relationship itself creates opportunities for deep healing. We value our shared humanity. We practice transparency and self-compassion, and invite you to do the same.
-
We are enthusiastic “therapy nerds” who provide effective, research-supported services. As lifelong learners, we continuously refine our skills and adopt the latest techniques. Recognizing that traditional research often overlooks diverse populations, we apply the important clinical foundations of evidence-based approaches while creatively adapting them to your individual needs.
-
We specialize in integrative healing that considers your whole self. In a culture that exalts the intellectual, we’ve often learned to shame our physical experience of emotions and deny our body’s wisdom. Through embodiment practices, we foster curiosity and deep listening to both your mind AND body. These approaches strengthen your internal compass, liberating you from patterns of suffering and guiding you towards empowerment, joy, and pleasure.
Currently, we're excited about Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Both offer deep healing through connecting with and releasing the emotional pain we hold in our bodies.
-
We are not here to “fix” you. Guiding you toward knowing and loving yourself more deeply, we thoughtfully consider your culture, identities, and societal influences. Whether you’re carrying the burdens of family conflict, fatphobia, gendered oppression, capitalism fatigue, racial trauma, or existential anxiety, your distress is vital feedback about your environment. Many of our greatest struggles are adaptations we’ve learned along the way. When we get curious about how you’ve survived, you can release what no longer serves you or was never yours to carry.
