    Leaning into Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy: MBCT

    Join us this summer for an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program designed to help you break the cycle of anxiety, depression, and overthinking. MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy techniques, teaching you to observe your thoughts without judgment and respond to stress with clarity and calm. Unlike traditional talk therapy, MBCT focuses on awareness rather than fixing, helping you build a healthier relationship with your inner experience. This program is ideal for individuals experiencing recurring depression, anxiety, or chronic stress—no meditation experience is required. Each weekly session includes guided meditations, home practices, and practical tools to use in daily life, all facilitated by a licensed therapist trained in MBCT. Rediscover a sense of peace and resilience—reserve your spot today.
