A Modern Approach to Therapy:

Integrative, Relational, and Transformative Care

At MI Wellbeing, our therapy services are rooted in a philosophy that honors the complexity and uniqueness of every individual. We believe that meaningful change happens when care is attuned, integrative, and deeply collaborative. Drawing from a blend of relational psychoanalysis, somatic therapy, polyvagal-informed care, and neurodiversity-affirming practices, our approach goes beyond symptom management to address the underlying patterns and root causes that shape emotional, relational, and mental well-being.

Our therapists offer a space where stories are heard, nervous systems are supported, and growth is nurtured—always with a deep respect for the mind-body connection and the inherent wisdom each person carries. Whether navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or neurodiverse experiences, our work is guided by curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to creating lasting change.

At MI Wellbeing, therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s a collaborative journey tailored to your unique story. Wherever you are on your path, we are here to walk alongside you.

Areas of Specialites

  • At MI Wellbeing, we embrace the concept of neurodiversity, recognizing and celebrating the unique ways individuals experience and interact with the world. Whether you or your child has ADHD, AuDHD, autism, learning differences, or giftedness, we offer tailored therapeutic approaches that focus on leveraging strengths and addressing challenges. Through a combination of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and specialized neuro-affirmative strategies, we support my clients in reaching their full potential.

  • Parenting a neurodiverse child is an emotional journey filled with unique challenges and profound rewards. Our neuro-affirmative parent training is designed to equip parents with practical tools and strategies to support their child’s development in a positive and affirming manner. We provide comprehensive guidance on effective communication, enhancing executive functioning skills, and adopting collaborative parenting approaches that strengthen family bonds. By fostering a nurturing environment that values and understands your child, we create a space for them to thrive with confidence and connection.

  • Executive function skills—including planning, organizing, time management, self-control, emotional regulation, and sustained attention—are essential for navigating everyday tasks effectively. These skills are often impacted in neurodiverse children and adults, affecting their ability to succeed in academic, professional, and personal settings.

    At MI Wellbeing, we offer targeted executive function training to help individuals with ADHD, AuDHD, autism, and other neurodiverse conditions develop these crucial abilities. Through structured exercises, practical strategies, and personalized coaching, we empower clients to improve their organizational skills, task management, and emotional regulation. This training not only enhances independence and confidence but also significantly supports academic and vocational success.

  • Family therapy is designed to address the complexities of family dynamics and improve communication and relationships within the family unit. At MI Wellbeing, we work collaboratively with families to navigate conflicts, understand habitual relational patterns, and build stronger, more supportive connections.

    Our approach incorporates psychodynamic family therapy, which delves into the underlying emotional and psychological processes that influence family interactions. By exploring unconscious patterns, past experiences, and internal conflicts, we help families better understand how these factors impact current relationships and behaviors. This deep exploration supports families in recognizing and transforming maladaptive patterns, fostering healthier, more adaptive dynamics.

  • Healthy relationships are built on communication, trust, and mutual respect. In our couples therapy sessions, we help partners address challenges, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional bond. Using evidence-based approaches, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, we guide couples in navigating conflicts, life transitions, and intimacy concerns. Whether you’re working through specific challenges or simply seeking to enhance your relationship, our couples therapy provides the tools and support needed for deeper connection and lasting growth.

  • At MI Wellbeing, we utilize a holistic approach to emotional regulation and healing through Polyvagal Therapy, Somatic Work (Somatic Experiencing), and the Safe and Sound Protocol. These therapies focus on working directly with the body’s autonomic nervous system to promote safety, balance, and connection.

    Polyvagal Therapy supports the nervous system in shifting out of survival states into states of calm and connection. Somatic work helps clients release stored tension and trauma in the body, fostering emotional and physical relief. The Safe and Sound Protocol uses specially filtered music to regulate the nervous system and enhance emotional resilience.

    These methods work together to create a comprehensive path to well-being, offering clients a deep sense of safety, connection, and present-moment awareness.

  • At MI Wellbeing, we use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients build psychological flexibility and live in alignment with their core values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult emotions and thoughts rather than struggling against them while committing to actions that lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. By integrating mindfulness practices and behavior-focused strategies, ACT empowers clients to navigate challenges with clarity and purpose.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach designed to help clients regulate emotions, improve relationships, and build resilience. At MI Wellbeing, we guide clients through core DBT skills, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is especially effective for those navigating intense emotions, impulsivity, or relational challenges, providing practical tools for managing life’s difficulties.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy focuses on building secure, lasting emotional bonds between individuals, couples, and families. At MI Wellbeing, EFT is used to help clients identify and address underlying emotional needs, break negative interaction patterns, and create deeper connections. By exploring and restructuring emotional responses, EFT supports clients in building trust, intimacy, and resilience in their relationships.

  • Psychodynamic therapy explores the deeper emotional and unconscious patterns that influence behavior, thoughts, and relationships. At MI Wellbeing, we use this approach to help clients understand how past experiences and unresolved conflicts shape their current lives. Through reflective exploration and a strong therapeutic relationship, clients gain insight into recurring patterns, develop self-awareness, and work toward meaningful change.

  • Family Systems Therapy and Internal Family Systems both emphasize the interconnectedness of individuals within their relational and internal systems. At MI Wellbeing, these approaches address how family dynamics, internal roles, and emotional patterns impact individual and group well-being. Family Systems Therapy explores family dynamics, communication patterns, and relational roles, while Internal Family Systems focuses on the inner world of thoughts, emotions, and parts of the self. Both approaches provide tools for navigating relational conflict, fostering harmony, and building emotional resilience.

  • At MI Wellbeing, we recognize that relationships lie at the heart of emotional well-being, identity, and resilience. Attachment-based and relational therapy focus on how early relationships and attachment styles shape our emotional responses, self-perception, and capacity for connection. Through a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, we explore how these patterns show up in present-day interactions and emotional experiences. By addressing relational wounds, building trust, and fostering emotional safety, clients can develop greater self-awareness, healthier communication skills, and deeper, more fulfilling connections with themselves and others. This approach offers a path toward healing past hurts, breaking unhelpful patterns, and creating meaningful, authentic relationships.

  • Couples therapy at MI Wellbeing is designed to help partners navigate conflict, improve communication, and deepen emotional intimacy. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, to address challenges such as trust issues, recurring arguments, and emotional distance. Through open dialogue and guided exercises, couples develop tools to build healthier, more connected partnerships.

At-Home Music Therapy

The Safe and Sound Protocol

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based listening intervention designed to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional resilience. Using specially filtered music, SSP works by gently stimulating the vagus nerve, supporting a sense of safety, connection, and calm in both the body and mind.

The Safe and Sound Protocol can benefit individuals of all ages who experience anxiety, sensory sensitivities, emotional dysregulation, or challenges with focus and connection. It’s especially effective for those who are neurodivergent, including individuals with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences, as it helps create a foundation of safety and calm within the nervous system. Whether you’re navigating trauma, heightened stress responses, or simply seeking greater emotional balance, SSP offers a gentle and non-invasive pathway to improved well-being and resilience.
