The Process Model is a mindfulness-based, present-moment-oriented, experiential, “meta” model of psychotherapy. A few of the topics covered are:

• Being and Doing: illuminating client processes in the here-and-now, while maintaining a connection to Self and the client
• Three realms of therapy: external, interpersonal, internal
• Working with process: identifying, selecting, enacting, tracking, deepening, resolving
• Working with client’s resistance: recognizing, navigating, and bringing awareness to client’s resistance
• Working with therapist’s resistance: recognizing counter-transference through mindfulness; identifying, transcending, and therapeutically using these issues in working with others.
• Invite the client to their edge and to integrate their work: follow a process to completion and hold space for integration with the clients higher self
