Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy is here to help us approach healing as a process of returning to wholeness through the integration of modern and ancient modalities. Our primary focus is on mental health and wellness, in the personal, communal, and systemic contexts. Our work aims to help you foster tools that can assist in an intentional lifestyle, intentional relationships, as well as tending to your relationship with your intuition and sovereignty. Sarah, your therapist and coach, incorporates modalities that she has acquired throughout her experience and training within clinical and spiritual studies.
Clients at The Grounded Elevation are considered “fellow travelers” along their journeys of healing with Sarah, who views herself as a mere partner in the healing and path to self-discovery.
“Fellow travelers” are supported through a trauma-informed lens, in healing from:
Complex/unresolved emotions
HSP tendencies
Intrusive thoughts
Low mood and motivation
Absence of purpose and/or directionality
Unhealthy attachment patterns
Difficulty with communication
Intergenerational trauma
PTSD
Relational Stress
Anxiety & Panic
Disorganized thinking
Self inquiry (sexual, gender, cultural, religious identities)
Chronic pain & medical health conditions
Polarized thinking
Borderline personality organization
Surviving sexual, emotional, physical abuse
Our core mission is to provide a safe and inclusive space for humans of diverse cultural, gender, and sexual identities, to heal with courage, depth, and vulnerability. Our core values revolve around leveraging personal integrity towards the healing of the collective, through examining ways through which each of us could contribute to the wellbeing of the communities we exist as a part of.
Psychedelic Integration
We stand by the allyship between humans and nature, and the vast potential of healing that exists within that relationship.
Sarah is an advocate for harm reduction and safe use of psychedelics, in promotion of ways through which we could approach psychedelic healing with great intentionality. A big part of harm reduction lies in demystifying the conversations about psychedelics, which encourages meaningful healing with these studied medicines.
With a trauma-informed approach, 1x1 as well as group integration sessions are offered, whether in preparation or for the processing of psychedelic experiences. During integration sessions, your guide relies on an approach that incorporates therapeutic skills, neuroscience, depth psychology approach, and studies of indigenous philosophies on holistic healing.
