Tethered Healing Mission

Returning to healing that is holistic, collaborative, and deeply personal.

At Tethered Healing, we believe that healing means holding, not fixing. Just as a plant does not need to be told to grow, we believe every being has an innate capacity and drive to grow. We believe that therapy can be the good soil you’ve been looking for to uncover your own innate growth and healing processes. We view each human as an intricate field of interconnected systems and support our clients in opening to the ever-unfolding complexity that they are. We take the perspective that nothing starts with us. Our gifts & burdens are also legacies, which also connect us to past and future generations as well as culture. At Tethered Healing, all of your parts are welcome. We know how hard it can be to carry shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, and grief around. We know how hard it can be to feel stuck in deep-seated patterns. We know how hard it is to see a way to live fully with PTSD and cPTSD. Our team takes a deeply personal approach to treatment and focuses on providing attuned, relational care. We provide a tether for you to explore the far depths of yourself, whether through psychotherapy, somatic therapy, or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. We have extensive experience working with all forms and severities of trauma and PTSD, cPTSD, and moral injury.

Our model of integrative healthcare values all forms of medicine from allopathic to naturopathic. We believe that mind, body, spirit, nature/environment, & community are interconnected and our holistic approach addresses all levels of being. We welcome people of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, religions, sizes, and abilities. We work with clients to address both root causes and symptoms. We use a treatment team model to patient care, meaning we collaborate within our clinic and with outside providers to ensure our clients are fully supported.

At Tethered Healing, we focus on offering therapy that can be the beginning or the continuation of a lifelong path of self-inquiry and growth. Jung would say that we are here to individuate; that is, to become awake to who we are, shadows and all, find our more authentic selves, and become self-responsible. Self-responsible means that we become aware of the patterns we seem to keep playing out, understand their roots, how they were adaptive, and what they may be still doing for us that keeps us in the cycle. We believe in the power of shadow work (exploring that which we have denied, repressed, disowned) for adding valuable heat to the alchemical vessel of transformation. From this perspective, everything that arises, no matter if it’s sudden loss, getting triggered yet again by rejection, or a return to shame, is viewed as an invitation to heal deeper. We believe every experience in life is an opportunity to develop an even deeper relationship with self, other, world, spirit, and reality.

We believe that viewing growth and healing as a lifelong path leads to an inherently more meaningful life. We also find that it supports reclaiming one’s place in the interconnected web of nature. Many people nowadays seem to have everything they need and yet are struggling with meaninglessness, purposelessness, and nihilism. We are here to help you unlock yourself, your own path of meaning, and the truth of your InterBeing, as the great Thich Nhat Hanh says.
