Our 3-stage model of care
We created MindSeed to be a place that brought together the most effective currently used trauma-informed therapies. Leading that approach is our 3 stage model of care.
Stability
Giving a seed the proper conditions to grow.
This is the stage where we find fertile ground and develop the stability to grow roots. Things that happen in a person’s past can take away their ability to feel safe and connected to themselves and with others. In this stage we work together to help them feel safe and empowered. This is the foundation that is necessary to grow well.
Transformation
Cultivating an inner garden.
In this stage we explore how old wounds and patterns get people stuck. We help them learn about triggers and develop strategies to respond skillfully. We gain new perspectives. This starts to create lasting change. It’s the stage where people process the past or ways they’re stuck, and make room for new learning, growth, and possibilities.
Thriving
Flourishing and abundance.
This is the stage of reconnection and integration – to themselves and to a greater community. Working with people to create lasting meaning and purpose. Not that we will ever achieve perfection — rather the ongoing practice of creating a full life.
Message from our Founder:
My heart’s vision was to develop a place of excellence - in delivery and training. A place where more people received exceptional mental health care by skilled clinicians. Ones who integrated the most effective therapies. Combining the wisdom of insights with the power of new skills. This led to the birth of MindSeed.

FAQs

You may be pleased to learn that research confirms online therapy is equally as effective as in-person therapy for treating a variety of mental health concerns.
It has also been found that clients rate their satisfaction of therapy and relationship with their therapist to be just as high as in traditional in-person therapy. Online therapy also offers, for many, the added benefit of greater accessibility and convenience of not having to travel to and from appointments.
