Whole-Person Healing

For those that feel broken or fragmented by life’s circumstances, whether you have been impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, a recent adverse event or the on-going pain from lifelong trauma, we value YOU as an individual and not a list of symptoms. 

Our integrated wellness philosophy understands that wellness means so much more than just NOT being sick or without pain or problems. Wellness is about an active approach to optimal living and well-being, regardless of what’s happened or occurring with you now. 

With a holistic, trauma-informed approach, we’ll help you find meaning in the pain and start putting the pieces back together. From there, we’ll guide you towards becoming the best version of yourself so you can live the life you were meant to live!

The Holistic-Integrated Therapy Process.

The Way to Wellness


A circular botanical info-graphic of the 8 dimensions of wellness; emotional, spiritual, physical, environmental, financial, occupational, social, and intellectual.

Heartcore’s trauma-informed treatment is based on a multidimensional approach to care that includes mental, emotional, physical, social, environmental, and spiritual aspects of self.

This becomes a collaborative partnership that helps you understand the sources of unpleasant thoughts and feelings, physical discomfort, or unhealthy behavior patterns that are negatively impacting your life.

As healing facilitator, coach and counselor, the Heartcore team guides you to develop:

  • deeper self awareness and insight

  • capacity to hold space for intense emotional experiences 

  • strength to face challenges with courage and resilience

  • empowerment to access resources for growth and change

  • connection to your values and worth 

  • hope for living according to your best self and truth 

The best therapy is about

connection, compassion, & comfort.
