Therapeutic Services and Approach

Individual

I am a relational therapist. This means that I believe that we are all wired for connection and it is through safe relationships that emotional healing can occur. By cultivating authentic connection, in a safe and confidential space we are able to explore the unattended or bottled-up parts of you that may be laced with shame, confusion and self-judgment.

My method of therapy is one of guided self-discovery and understanding through experimental and mindfulness-based approaches. This method allows for the unique possibility of mind-body integration that leads to lasting healing and continual growth. My work is heavily influenced by interpersonal neurobiology, somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory.

LGBTQ+

The LGBTQ+ community face unique challenges, pain and injury and I offer a space where these harms are deeply understood and held. Despite the once growing appearance of cultural acceptance of diverse sexual, romantic and gender identifications, systemic discrimination and oppression persist and LGBTQ+ individuals continue to be at a much higher risk of than their cis-hetero peers.

Whether you are seeking more freedom and support associated with your sexual, romantic, or gender identity or for concerns related to your mental health and wellbeing, I offer a therapeutic environment that is not dictated by heteronomativity. I support the most authentic version of all aspects of you and help all parts of you feel seen, supported and cared for.

Couples

You are not alone if you are finding relationships difficult. Being in partnership is not an easy path. We all get stuck in destructive cycles with our loves that we just can’t quite understand or shift. I am here to help identify, shift and replace these unhealthy cycles so that all partners have new ways of being and communicating, therefore new ways to being seen, heard and understood. I am here for you if you are just beginning a relationship and have a desire to begin on a strong foundation, if you are years into a relationship and getting tired of the same disconnection happening over and over again, or if there is healing and repair needed after a major attachment injury has occurred in your relationship.

Group Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy

Research increasingly suggests that mindful movement such as yoga is not only physically beneficial but it also helps to rebuild healthy neuropathways in our brain that have been affected by trauma.

I intermittently offer somatic group therapy where we can begin exploring how belief systems and traumas are held in the body, below the level of conscious awareness, through movement and a felt sense of the body.

If you are interested in joining the waitlist for a future Somatic group please email me at hello@cheavenjade.com.

Coming Fall 2025:

EMBODIED CONSENT: an eight week experiential and somatic processing group to increase awareness and the ability to give a full embodied “yes” and to build the courage to say “No.”
