About Us

about us

Everyone is different

Because of this, our therapy is different for everyone. It is a dynamic, relational process. A creative and expressive process. It’s art. It’s not about a therapist telling you what to do and solving all your problems for you. It is about us coalescing, co-creating, and being responsive to a time and space that can help you grow in the process of change. Our Work Together is multicultural, strength-based, multi-modal, and focused on nervous systems regulation, co-regulation in relationships, and introspection within oneself as an organism and the body, individual and collective, as a phenomenon of power and resilience.

A Creative Approach

Creative and performing arts are integral to everything our founder, Brian Kimmel does. He cares about the process of helping people find themselves and their place in this world. This is a holistic path of practice that you get to create for yourself based on unique, and cooperative explorations through the present moment, bare and spacious awareness of what needs attention and support. Bringing attention to what is calling you to be still, move, sound, or be silent with and for.

Change is everywhere and everything

Sometimes the best medicine is to stop and notice what is going on within and around us in a supportive and restorative way. This is what a large part of our work together is. This process is facilitated through identifying current resources and strengths, body-mind interventions like connecting with your breathing and defining what breath is for you, awareness of sensation, grounding, focused movement, narrative and talk therapies, community building, and frameworks and cultural perspectives you bring to the table. 

Enjoy your journey

For some the path of recovery might be a lifelong journey. For others, it is a temporary state. In either case, if you have found your way to this work, you already have the skills within you to get through. Together we can cultivate those skills using traditional and non-traditional therapeutic methods that include creativity through the arts and body-mind practice.

Our work together is a container in which to explore who we are inclusive of our differences, aware of the intent and impact of socially constructed identities. This includes our own and another’s race, gender, sexual orientation, sex assignment, ability/disability, class, caste, socio-economic status, religion, size, marital status, relationship designations, age, and all other forms of cultural, systemic, and institutional identity markers.  

That [coming back to body - mind check - in] was just what I needed.
