Anxiety therapy provides a supportive space to help you manage constant worry, overthinking, and fear that may be affecting your daily life. Using proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and grounding techniques, we work together to reduce anxiety symptoms, build emotional resilience, and help you feel more in control.

Depression Therapy
Depression therapy offers support for those feeling overwhelmed by sadness, emptiness, or lack of motivation. In a safe, compassionate space, we work together to understand what’s behind the depression and develop tools to manage symptoms. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, therapy helps you reconnect with hope, rebuild self-worth, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Stress Management
Mindfulness Practices
Therapy for stress management helps you identify the sources of stress in your life and develop healthier ways to cope. Through practical tools like relaxation techniques, boundary setting, and cognitive strategies, you’ll learn to reduce overwhelm, regain balance, and feel more in control. Therapy also provides a supportive space to process emotions and build long-term resilience.

Mindfulness Practices
Mindfulness practices help you stay present, calm, and connected to your body and emotions. When used in therapy, mindfulness supports healing by reducing anxiety, improving focus, and increasing emotional awareness. It teaches you how to respond to stress with clarity instead of reacting from habit, helping you feel more grounded and in control during life’s challenges.

Whether the trauma was recent or occurred long ago, therapy helps you process what happened, reduce symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, or numbness, and rebuild a sense of safety and self-worth. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and trauma-informed care, we work at your pace to move from survival toward healing and empowerment.
Welcome to Returning 2 Wellness
Philosophy
At Returning 2 Wellness, we believe that true wellness is a holistic journey that embraces the mind, body, and spirit. Mental health is not just the absence of illness — it is the presence of resilience, balance, and meaningful connection to oneself and others.
Our approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and empowerment. We view each individual as whole and capable, honoring their unique story, strengths, and cultural background. Healing unfolds best in a safe, non-judgmental space where clients are active partners in their growth.
We integrate evidence-based practices with mindfulness and trauma-informed care, recognizing the deep impact of life experiences on mental health. Our goal is to nurture not only symptom relief but also lasting transformation, self-awareness, and wellness that extends beyond therapy.
In this journey toward healing, we are dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, integrity, and hope — supporting your path to renewed well-being and flourishing
