Our calm, private therapy space in Mequon
Mindfulness-based therapy helps you build awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations — so they have less power over your mood, choices, and daily life. Rather than trying to “fix” or eliminate difficult experiences, we focus on changing how you relate to them with more clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion.
You may be noticing:
A busy or anxious mind that feels hard to quiet
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions or stress reactions
Getting caught in cycles of worry, rumination, or self-judgment
Feeling disconnected from your body, your emotions, or yourself
Reacting on autopilot instead of responding intentionally
Knowing something needs to change, but feeling unsure how to slow down or begin
Mindfulness-based therapy helps you gently turn toward what’s happening — learning how to stay present with your experience, create space around difficult thoughts, and respond with greater awareness rather than habit.
Feeling stuck in your thoughts?
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines mindfulness practices with elements of cognitive therapy to help you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns — without getting pulled into them.
Rather than trying to change or eliminate difficult thoughts, MBCT focuses on learning how to notice them with curiosity and compassion, creating space to respond more intentionally.
You don’t need to have prior experience with mindfulness or meditation. Sessions move at a supportive, steady pace and are adapted to what feels most helpful for you.
In MBCT therapy, we may:
Practice gentle mindfulness or grounding exercises
Learn to notice thoughts as mental events rather than facts
Build awareness of emotional and physical cues
Develop skills to step out of rumination or autopilot
Cultivate self-compassion and steadiness during stress
Apply mindfulness tools to everyday challenges
Therapy is collaborative, flexible, and focused on helping you feel more present, grounded, and resilient in your daily life.
What MBCT Therapy Looks Like
MBCT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, rumination, and feeling stuck in unhelpful thought patterns.
