Private Practice, Nanda Currant M.F.C.C
La Selva Beach, California

Growing oneself is a life long endeavor but with focused work in a trusting environment using simple tools can increase potential, and develop our capacity for immediate and lasting change. Working together and developing a deeper sense of our authentic self allows individuals to change in life-sustaining ways.

Approach: the emphasis of my work is focused on the individual and their creative and personal exploration of spirit and psyche through dream work, various media, somatic awareness, and psychotherapy. Healing and growth, both emotional and spiritual, underlie therapy. Therapeutic work involves a re-connection to one's own inspiration and authentic self, and understanding the obstacles that can block us from being fully involved in our lives with meaning and purpose.

Therapeutic Work: life transitions, transpersonal therapy, humanistic and interpersonal work, mindfulness practice, communication skills, self-care, women's issues, children and young adults, life skills, educational and creative goals, creative recovery, trauma, addiction, serious illness, art therapy, the alchemy of the heart and human spirit, eco-psychology, narrative and journal work.
