Over the last twenty years, mindfulness based therapies have been empirically validated as the "gold standard" for the treatment of many mood, anxiety, and personality disorders.

The Awakened Mind Institute has grown and expanded, in large part because of our ability to effectively help people learn to work with their own suffering. Once we know how to work with our thoughts and emotions, we can then then transform that suffering into a deeper sense of wisdom, happiness, and satisfaction with life.

All our therapists share a love for the transformative process of therapy, and all are in love with being psychotherapists. In the past, all of AMI's therapists have also been "on the couch" as patients themselves, in their own therapeutic processes. They feel that this experience has given them tremendous insight into how therapy can be more effectively delivered to their own clients.
