Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help with anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses, and adjustments are made together based on what helps most.
