"After years of trying different therapies, I finally found relief through Authentic Connections. Their combination of therapy and craniosacral therapy has helped me manage my depression and trauma more effectively than ever before." — K.T.

"Therapy alone was great but adding the holistic approach made a huge difference for me. I’m healing faster and feeling more balanced in my day-to-day life." — S.P.

Testimonial:

"I was constantly feeling flooded with emotions and trapped in overthinking. Starting therapy with Marilee and working with Kirsten in one-on-one meditation sessions really helped me find calm and clarity. It made such a difference in how I handle stress now!" — R.A.

Therapies Tailored to You

At Authentic Connections, combining traditional and nontraditional therapy is our vibe! Our services go beyond the traditional approach to therapy, combining talk therapy with somatic techniques to create a personalized healing plan that fits your needs. Not only that, but we like to keep things fun and lighthearted so don’t be surprised if your provider incorporates fun movement, nature walks, or a therapy dog into your sessions.

Services:

Psychotherapy: Virtual or in-person talk therapy to address ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. We have a couples therapist who works with anyone feeling like their relationship may be “broken” to find ways back to connection.

Craniosacral Therapy: Gentle, hands-on techniques to relieve tension and promote healing and nervous system regulation (great for healing trauma too!)

Reiki: Energy healing to restore balance, reduce stress, and gain a sense of grounding. For our spiritually inclined clients, add an intuitive approach to your reiki sessions.

Yoga & Meditation: Grounding practices to connect mind and body. This is one of our top recommendations for our clients experiencing anxiety-related symptoms.

Workshops: Engaging group sessions for adults and teens designed to explore tools and techniques for managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression while fostering community support.

Canine-Assisted Therapy: Experience the joy of healing with our therapy dog, Marlee, here to provide comfort, support, and a whole lot of wagging tails!
