THERAPY

PURPOSE

Arete is designed to help reduce suffering as individuals learn how to be with their discomforts, accept the range of human experience and commit to act in ways that are consistent with their values and that facilitate health and wellness. Treatment is designed to reduce symptoms associated with mental health diagnoses. Individuals gain a better understanding of their challenges, build awareness around their patterns and develop insight into how their challenges have impacted their experience.
