Our Approach to Psychotherapy

At Mahaya Health Services, we understand that your mental health is correlated with the sum of your experiences. Your experiences are simply what has happened to you; they are not what’s “wrong” with you. We commit to maintaining a non-judgmental, curious, and compassionate environment to help you understand why you feel the way you feel. When exploring your most vulnerable feelings and experiences, our aim is to help you deepen your capacity for self-care and self-compassion. We recognize that healing happens in the context of relationships. In therapy, our clients build a relationship with themselves, but also with their therapist. For this reason, our process is deeply collaborative and grounded in mutual respect, empathy, and non-judgmental listening. We also strive to hold a safe space for our clients that allow them to embrace every facet of their identity and facilitates reflection, insight, and greater awareness of themselves and others.
