A Supportive Environment for Psychological Growth
hearthstone (definition): a) the floor or area in front of a fireplace, b) home, c) gathering place, or d) a vital or creative center
A hearthstone symbolizes a warm, safe place to gather and share life with loved ones. While the work of therapy can be challenging, it can also be a place to come home to your truest self. Trauma impacts our ability to feel safe in the world and in relationships, and often occurs within relationships. Simultaneously, relationships and connection are the biggest source of meaning in our lives. As many have said, “We break in relationships and we heal in relationships.” At Hearthstone, we use the warmth and safety of the therapeutic relationship to help you build other safe relationships, create space for growth, and navigate life’s complexities. Regardless of what evidence based techniques we utilize, we believe that you are the expert on your own life, and we emphasize the importance of connection, community, and belonging in psychological well-being.
