Our Services
__________
Together with a psychotherapist, you will explore your relationship with memory across cognitive, emotional, bodily, imaginative, and practical dimensions. Such exploration may itself have a cognitive-emotional sharpening effect, while also helping you discover which forms of learning are most meaningful to you.
For one person, this might mean discovering what meditation—and a more meditative way of living—actually means in their everyday life.
For another, it might mean training attention through specific, personally meaningful memory-acquisition tasks.
For someone else, it might mean developing an individual action plan: a small adventure to embark upon, something concrete enough to attempt, experience, complete, and learn from.
The point is not to make everybody remember in the same way. It is to discover how you remember, what your memory responds to, what interferes with it, what can compensate for what has changed, and what kinds of experience allow it to participate more fully in your life.
Our work brings together psychotherapy, individualized learning, memory exploration, and participatory research. Rather than treating the person receiving care simply as the object of investigation, we invite participants to become collaborators in understanding what helps them learn, remember, forget, adapt, and live well.
We are currently the only mental health care provider in the world that focuses on cognitive memory concerns in the context of the whole person and uses participatory action research methodology as the primary research tool.
