What is Contemplative Psychotherapy?

Contemplative psychotherapy combines an active exploratory conversation with time-tested practical skills and wisdom aimed at harnessing our innate capacity for deep embodied healing and genuine happiness. Weekly private sessions are enhanced by suggested meditation and yoga practices as well as learning and practice in the Buddhist holistic psychology and practice. The principles of Buddhist psychology align with other contemplative traditions, so one does not need to be Buddhist to benefit from the mind science of meditation, ethics and wisdom. To learn more about Contemplative Psychotherapy, please read this short article or purchase our compilation Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy featuring essays by us along with other world renown experts in the emerging field. To assess whether the contemplative approach is appropriate for you, please contact us to set up a preliminary consultation.
