Holistic Therapy & Psychedelic Integration
Holistic therapy is here to help us approach healing as a process of returning to wholeness through the integration of modern and ancient philosophies. At The Grounded Elevation, the primary focus is on mental health and wellness, in addition to fostering mindfulness tools that can help clients in cultivating a conscious lifestyle. 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 a mere companion and space-holder for that therapeutic process to unravel.
“Fellow travelers” are supported through a trauma-informed lens, in healing from:
Complex/unresolved emotions
Intrusive thoughts
Low mood and motivation
Absence of purpose and/or directionality
Unhealthy attachment patterns
Difficulty with communication
Intergenerational trauma
Traumatic memories and trauma responses
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
The core mission of The Grounded Elevation, is to provide a safe and inclusive space for humans of diverse cultural, gender, and sexual identities, to heal with authenticity and vulnerability. The second branch of our mission is to leverage personal responsibility towards the healing of the collective, through examining ways through which every client could contribute to the evolution of their communities in one way or the other.
Psychedelic Integration:
We stand by the ally ship 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. Sarah holds 1x1 as well as group integration sessions in preparation and processing of medicine-assisted healing experiences. Some folks desire to integrate personal journeys that they engaged in on their own, and that is also a practice that is encouraged to be integrated with a mental health professional for additional support. During integration sessions, Sarah relies on a treatment model that incorporates therapeutic skills, basic knowledge on neuroscience, depth psychology approach, and studies of indigenous philosophies on holistic healing.
