Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills, supporting clients who struggle with rumination, emotional reactivity, or difficulties sleeping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Barbara will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques from these approaches to fit the pace and focus that works best for them. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to tailor treatment to the individual.
