Our Multidimensional Approach to Healing
At Taproot Therapy Collective, we believe in treating the whole person—not just symptoms. Our approach addresses all dimensions of healing, with specific attention to Auburn's unique community:
Mind
Working with thoughts, beliefs, and cognitive patterns that influence your experience and emotional responses. This dimension is particularly important for individuals in highly technical and scientific fields like those prevalent in Auburn.
Body
Addressing how trauma and stress are stored in the body through somatic approaches that promote physical release and regulation. Essential for veterinary students and professionals who experience physical demands alongside emotional challenges.
Soul
Honoring the deeper dimensions of meaning, purpose, and spiritual connection that contribute to wholeness and healing. This approach recognizes Auburn's diverse spiritual landscape and the existential questions that often arise in healing professions.
Emotions
Creating safety to experience, process, and integrate difficult emotions that may have been suppressed or overwhelming. Particularly important for those in caregiving roles who often prioritize others' needs above their own.
Relationships
Exploring patterns of connection and attachment that shape how you relate to yourself and others. This helps navigate the complex social dynamics within Auburn's tight-knit academic and community environments.
Environment
Considering the contexts and systems that impact your wellbeing, from academic structures to professional hierarchies, including the unique dynamics between university and town that characterize Auburn's community.
