“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
Working in peoples homes for 10 years offered me the ability to get creative in our space. Shoes off, eating snacks, sitting on floors, lying in the grass or taking a walk was a frequent experience within my therapy sessions. Opening this practice, I was determined to do my best to re-create the experience of home for our clients. At Centered Therapy it is paramount to us that clients feel safe, secure and comfortable when working with us.
Should we meet in-person you can find our office nestled on the third floor of the historic Montgomery Building located in the eclectic Lower East Side. We encourage people to bring whatever they need to relax, but if you forgot we always have water and tea to offer you, as well as granola bars, cozy blankets to curl up in, stones to hold, plushies to squeeze and essential oils to smell. All intended to provide a sensory integrated experience as we engage in some hard work together.
Some of us offer eco-therapy as well, so if weather permits ask to go for a walk and talk. Sometimes bodies need movement and knowing to ask for what you need is paramount in the healing process.
Let’s remember that therapy can be fun too!
