Background

Welcome
Bonnie Cardell is a leader and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist that works from a Jungian-based Humanistic-Existential model. She loves working in the helping profession and is motivated by Neuroscience. She is trained in both Bio and Neurofeedback, and has provided Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG), EEG Brain Training, Neuro Stimulation (LENS, tACS, tDCS, and pEMF), and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Training, among other interventions in private practice for ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD symptom reduction.

Other modalities and styles of psychotherapy used include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Creative Expression, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Psychodynamic Reflection, Behavior Plans, Mindfulness-based interventions, Relaxation Techniques, Solutions Focused Therapy, Hypnosis, and longer-term Existential-Humanistic talk therapy based on Logo-Therapy (meaning-based therapy established by Victor Frankl).

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ~ Victor E. Frankl
