Individual Therapy

Most of the people who come to us have been carrying something for a while. Sometimes it has been there for years. Sometimes it shifted recently and they don’t quite know why. Whatever brought you here, we’d like to help you understand it.

People come to us for many reasons:

  • Anxiety, depression, or a quiet sense that something is wrong they cannot name
  • Patterns in their relationships that keep repeating
  • The aftermath of a partner’s betrayal or infidelity
  • Childhood wounds that are still shaping adult life
  • Grief, loss, or a major life transition
  • A general feeling of being stuck, even when life looks fine on the outside

Our work goes deeper than surface coping skills. We work with what’s underneath the patterns, not only with the patterns themselves. Many of our clients have been to therapy before and felt heard, but unchanged. Our approach is different in pace and in depth. We work slowly. We work honestly. 

If you’re not sure whether what you’re carrying is “enough” to bring to therapy, you’re not alone in wondering that. If you’re asking the question, the answer is usually yes.

A free 20-minute consultation gives us a chance to talk briefly about what’s bringing you here and whether one of our therapists is the right fit. No pressure. No commitment.

Couples Therapy

Couples come to us for many different reasons. Sometimes one or both of you isn’t sure what’s wrong, just that something needs to change. Sometimes there has been a rupture: a betrayal, a loss of trust, a moment that split everything into a before and an after. Sometimes communication has broken down so slowly that small conversations now feel impossible. Sometimes you are navigating a big life shift together, like a new baby, a job change, a loss, a move.

Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.

Our approach is rooted in careful listening and depth-oriented work. We don’t believe in quick fixes. We believe in real, lasting change, and we do that work slowly, honestly, and with care for both partners in the room.

Our practice has particular depth in working with couples after betrayal and broken trust. If that’s part of what brought you here, you’ll find this is work we know well. But couples therapy here is not only about betrayal. It is about helping two people find their way back to each other, or sometimes find clarity about whether to part well. Whatever you bring to the room is welcome. What you don’t have words for yet is also welcome.

Common questions

Does coming to therapy mean we’ve decided to stay together? Not at all. Many couples come precisely because they don’t know yet. The work itself is often part of how clarity becomes possible.

Will the therapist take sides? A skilled couples therapist holds both of you with care, even when one partner has caused harm. Holding someone accountable for what they did is not the same as taking sides.

Is our problem “big enough” for couples therapy? If you’re asking, it’s usually big enough. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from this work.

Who we work with at The Mindful Loft

We specialize in relational trauma: the wounds that come from being hurt by someone you trusted. We work with adults and couples navigating:

  • The aftermath of partner betrayal and infidelity
  • Childhood trauma and the long shadow it casts on adult life
  • Complex PTSD (cPTSD) and attachment wounds
  • Anxiety, depression, and grief that have roots in relational injury
  • Patterns of people-pleasing, hyper-independence, perfectionism, or self-criticism connected to early relationships
  • The long process of rebuilding trust, identity, and intimacy after relational harm


If you are not sure whether your situation fits our scope, please reach out for a free consultation. If you are outside our scope, we will tell you honestly and help you find the right kind of support.
