What mindfulness is

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing awareness to the present moment without judgment. In therapy, it means noticing what is happening within you without immediately judging it or needing to change it.

How Lindsey weaves it into sessions

Lindsey weaves mindfulness into sessions. That might include grounding, observing thoughts and emotions, or bringing attention back to the present in a way that feels comfortable for you.

In therapy, mindfulness can help you slow down racing thoughts, feel more grounded in your body, respond instead of react, and create space between you and overwhelming emotions.

Lindsey integrates mindfulness with CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, and neuroscience-informed care, and uses it in her work on anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and emotional regulation.

What the research says

A 2018 analysis supported by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health covered 142 groups of participants with diagnosed psychiatric disorders such as anxiety or depression, and more than 12,000 participants.1 For treating anxiety and depression, mindfulness-based approaches were better than no treatment and worked as well as established evidence-based therapies such as CBT and antidepressant medications. The results for short-term effectiveness were mixed across the different mindfulness-based approaches.1

A 2014 review of meditation programs found moderate evidence of improved anxiety, depression, and pain, and low evidence of improved stress and distress.2 It found no evidence that meditation programs were better than any active treatment.2 A 2017 review reports that mindfulness-based interventions reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and perform comparably with CBT.3

Risks

Mindfulness has few risks, though some people have negative experiences. In an analysis of studies of more than 6,000 people, about 8 percent reported negative effects, most commonly anxiety or depression.1 That is similar to the share reported for psychological therapies.1

Formal programs

Formal programs such as mindfulness-based stress reduction teach mindful meditation along with discussion sessions and other strategies.1 Lindsey weaves mindfulness into individual therapy. Ask Lindsey what fits your needs.
