Multi-Dimensional Approach
Because the human experience is so diverse, dynamic, and complex, we believe a multi-dimensional approach to healing is needed. Our unique framework is guided by the eight dimensions of wellness.
What are the eight dimensions of wellness?
The eight dimensions of wellness encompass wellbeing in the following arenas: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, occupational, and financial. Because each of these domains have a significant impact on human development, it is essential to holistically assess health across these eight dimensions. We believe that pursuing a harmonious balance across these eight dimensions will not only positively impact mental health, but overall wellness and quality of life as well.
What we believe in
Connection
We believe in the power of community and forging deep connections at every level. From collaborating with local community partners to interacting with you personally in-session, connection is our core foundational value. Of course, a huge part of connecting is being accessible, which is why we…
- Provide in-person services at three different locations.
- Offer telehealth services for all residents in Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, Utah, and Ohio
- Accept Medicaid, Medicare, and all major commercial insurances
- Establish partnerships with essential community resources
Engagement
We are not here to tell you what to do or to micromanage your therapeutic journey. Our goal is simply to engage – to educate, inform, and support you in discovering what healing looks like and means for you. By taking a collaborative approach to mental health, we will work together with you to create and implement a customized treatment plan that is specific to your unique needs and interests.
Empowerment
We are honored to be allies of the diverse people groups we serve, and we are passionate about helping you find the acceptance and healing you need to thrive. Whether through session work or expressive movement therapy, our therapists are fully committed to providing you with a safe space to heal, grow, and transform.
