Introducing Cultivate Therapy Group
I’m excited to announce a re-naming and rebranding of my SF bay area based therapy practice - Cultivate Therapy Group. Cultivate reflects the intentions of coming to therapy, to invest the time, energy and resources to create a new reality, often something beautiful and surprising. To cultivate something means to wait expectantly for a transformation. It often requires getting our hands dirty. It sometimes means we need to change up the environment so growth can occur. To cultivate is to commit to the process with hope for a creative and new outcome. Therapy is a space of intentionally cultivating something, an outcome, some healing, a better relationship, a sense of peace, and hopefully along the way, some joy.
For the last 6 months I have been reflecting about what the personality, strengths, and sources of hope are for me as a therapist and for clients I am honored to journey alongside. In the process I clarified that I have some driving values as a therapist:
Joy: a commitment to intentionally practicing joy in our personal lives, finding joy in our work, and helping clients reclaim joy in their lives
Growth: Any kind of change requires an intention, work, and time. Growth is a posture of learning, humility, reflection, and flexibility.
Presence: Healing often happens through relationships where both parties are able to be present with one another. Presence demonstrates respect, dignity, care, intention.
Integrated: We are intricately connected, in intrapersonal and interpersonal and societal ways. Since many factors contribute to suffering, including emotional, physiological, relational, socio-economic, community, spiritual, and systemic injustices; we seek to promote healing for our clients and our community that speaks to those same holistic needs.
As a result of months of reflection and processing of those values, I am so excited to see the next stage of my private practice under Cultivate Therapy Group.
In the future I hope to add on other clinicians who may join in the same spirit and values of Cultivate Therapy Group so we can expand the offering of support, healing, and connection to those in the bay area and throughout California who need therapy services.
