Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional

We all must choose of how to navigate pain and suffering. Viktor Frankl, Holocaust survivor and author of the best-selling novel, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” captured this best by stating, “Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.”

This practice was developed to help individuals, couples, and families become more equipped to alleviate suffering through building the capacity to connect with ourselves, others, and the world with intention, compassion, and resolve. Our treatments are backed by science showing that addressing the intersections of psychological, social, and behavioral health are essential for overcoming a variety of conditions ranging from depression and relationship stress to physical pain. The heart of our approach centers on building a culture of support, nonjudgmental curiosity, and connection.

Ultimately, the combination of science and humaneness offers the best chance to map the pathway for promoting whole person health in the face of distress or unwavering circumstances.
