I am very excited to be offering an in-person Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) class. This is the classic, evidence-based 8-week program. I am an Arizona licensed psychotherapist qualified to teach mindfulness classes through one of the major mindfulness training centers in the country, the University of California at San Diego Center for Mindfulness. The class will run on Tuesdays, June 17th– August 5th, 6 pm-8 pm. Cost is $395. Insurance not accepted. Payment via Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, cash or check. Space is limited to 12 people. A 25% discount for any therapists who wisht to enroll.
This class is appropriate for:
***Individuals who do not currently qualify as clinically depressed but have suffered from multiple depressive episodes
***Individuals who are currently undergoing therapy for depression and wish to learn skills that have proven to be useful in preventing relapses
***Individuals who have not achieved satisfactory results with other treatments
There is a required pre-class interview by Zoom.
MBCT was developed by psychologists Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. It builds on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, which emphasizes mindfulness meditation to manage stress. The core idea behind MBCT is to teach individuals a new way of relating to their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. The approach helps break the cycle of automatic, negative thought patternsthat often contribute to depression and anxiety.
