Values Statements
Briefly describe how your clinical work or business practice (e.g., policies, practices, or educational offerings) aligns with PRATI's Purpose statement: "Reconnecting to the Sacred: Self, Community, Nature, and Spirit".

Ascent Counselings provides psychospiritual therapy to promote growth, healing, and recovery. My mission is to help connect the self with the sacred, community, and purpose. I provide a holistic, supportive, integrative soul and spirit based approach to mental health that is founded in Somatic Therapy, a body-centered therapy that focuses on present-moment awareness, exploring bodily tension, gestures, and sensations through dialogue, breathing, and movement. Somatic healing is holistic, going beyond traditional talk therapy, to connect heart, mind, body, spirit, and soul. I look to the body as a wise resource, ally, and guide. Our bodies hold a lot of wisdom that we are disconnected from or can talk ourselves out of in our cognitive mind.
