The Center Method Philosophy
The Center Method is a client-centered collaboration which addresses relationship problems, stress/burnout, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. Developing awareness of the interconnection between the mind, body, and emotions is essential in the healing process. We use traditional and alternative modalities (including psychotherapy, EMDR, acupuncture, massage, yoga, breathwork, meditation, and nutrition) to build a wellness regimen which best suits individual needs in order to help process and release tension, anger, frustration and other emotions that remain in your body from past negative experiences. Our goal is to help release the stress and pain that may be preventing you from living a fully integrated, well-balanced life.
