Mind and Body Integration

Qualifications    Ms. Love works with adolescents, adults, families, and couples.  She specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders.  She has a masters degree in counseling psychology, is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California), Licensed Professional Counselor (Oregon) and is a Certified Somatic Experiencing (S.E.) Practitioner.  She has been fortunate to have studied with the founder of S.E., Dr. Peter Levine, an international speaker and author.

Approach    As a mind and body psychotherapist, Ms. Love combines Cognitive-Behavioral “talk” therapy with Somatic Experiencing “body-orientated” therapy.  Ms. Love incorporates S.E. into her approach because she finds that some of her clients’ symptoms can not be fully addressed with “talk” therapy alone.  With her comprehensive mind-body approach, her clients report a renewed sense of self and increased hope about the future and the possibilities that lie ahead.
