About MIC Counseling: MINDFUL - INCLUSIVE - COLLABORATIVE
MINDFUL
Mindfulness therapy, also known as "mindful therapy," is a type of counseling focused on present-day thinking, intent, and behavior. During mindful therapy, counselors teach and guide clients to carefully self monitor, observe, and consider their thoughts and bodily sensations to become their own expert of themselves.
Marcy uses a variety of trauma-informed, evidence-based techniques including cognitive and dialetical behavioral therapy. In addition, utilization of somatized self care techniques helps clients overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors. "I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body".
INCLUSIVE
Honoring diversity and inclusivity, as a therapist, can look as follows: Always understanding and learning to incorporate an emphasis on cultures, gender, ethnicities, religions, and demographics. Eliminating judgments, stereotypes, and bias through education and professional development.
In the field of mental health, inclusivity can also mean offering accessible and equitable care to every client, regardless of their background. Not only this, it means making services, like counseling, accessible to those who have historically been unable to access them.
COLLABORATIVE
COLLABORATIVE
Collaborative therapy refers to a form of therapy in which both the counselor and the client work together to make decisions about how best to proceed with treatment. It is based on several key principles of practice, including collaboration, accountability, integrity, and respect.
Collaborative therapists focus on empowering individuals to overcome their problems by setting goals collaboratively and identifying resources to achieve those goals.

"Mental health therapy has evolved considerably, and gone are the days of attaching stigma to a person's incompetence and blame." Marcy believes that most conditions are either related to misinformation obtained through the effects of maladaptive generational coping excaserbated by events beyond the person's control. In addition, as life flies by the demands of present-day-living, making it necessary to learn quick methods to attend to our mental health.
