What is Buddhist Psychotherapy?

Buddhist psychotherapy combines ancient Buddhist practices with evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques to address mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges. At its core, this approach emphasizes mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion to help you gain insight into your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, Buddhist-based therapy encourages deeper self-understanding and acceptance, helping you:

  • Cultivate present-moment awareness
  • Develop compassion for yourself and others
  • Reduce suffering caused by attachment or negative thought patterns
  • Find balance and inner peace

In our sessions, we incorporate tools like mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, and introspective practices alongside traditional psychotherapy methods to help you reconnect with your inner self and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
