Mindfulness-Based Treatment

Mindfulness practice teaches us how to focus attention on the present moment without judgment or reactivity. Through experiences like MBSR, Mindfulness-oriented individual therapy, we gain insight and broad perspective, becoming better able to manage life’s challenges with patience, skill, and quiet confidence.

Client Testimonials

This is definitely a class I highly recommend for everyone. It was more challenging than I anticipated, but I found myself looking forward to every meeting.

Client Testimonials

Mindfulness more than anything gives you a super power. It’s a power that keeps yourself from reacting to strong inner impulses and emotions.

—Michael Ryan
Client Testimonials

Joining the MBSR course was incredibly intimidating and rewarding. I found a community of people who were experiencing similar life events and also searching for ways to reconnect with the world around us. The retreat especially was an enlightening experience to how fast I tend to move in the world; and was a great reset to remind myself to stay present and enjoy the smaller, more quiet moments. Would highly recommend working with Drew and trying this new experience!

—Hannah Moody, Psychotherapist
Client Testimonials

Drew provided a gentle, kind, and non-judgemental approach to teaching MBSR. I looked forward to his class each week! Additionally, I am beyond grateful that he continues to open up space for alumni of the MBSR course to continue their practices together. Drew’s guidance has been invaluable to me and I’d recommend his MBSR course to anyone interested in mindfulness/meditation.

—Jill Johnson, LIMHP, LADC
Client Testimonials

I had a terrific experience in Drew’s MBSR program. It really helped me learn and strengthen my practice in ways I wasn’t able to do on my own. It set a better foundation for continuing. Drew is a remarkable teacher, facilitator, and presence and participating was well worth the time, effort and investment.

Thoughts

Mindfulness: The Mental Push-up

When I was in graduate school, we were taught that the human brain reaches its maximum developmental potential around age 25. Can you imagine how discouraging a thing that was to hear for a bunch of 25 year old graduate students?!

Mindfulness: A Seven Second Tape Delay

Have you ever felt like you didn’t have time to respond wisely to what was going on, or worse, that you reacted without thinking only to find that your reaction made things worse, not better? Regular mindfulness meditation can give you the chance to pause, see the moment for what it is, and choose a wise response.

Mindfulness and Shifting Into Neutral

I’ve often heard people say, “I can’t meditate because I can’t stop thinking,” or something very similar to that. Fortunately, we don’t have to stop thinking or even slow down our thoughts to experience the peace that mindfulness practice can bring. Curious? Read on.
