Mental health is not something to take for granted, and everyone can benefit from therapy. We love connecting with local counselors in the Hoboken area and exploring the many services they provide. Mindful Power is one of Hoboken’s most beloved therapy practices — and provides coaching and therapy to clients of all ages, addressing various mental health concerns and disorders. Located at 51 Newark Street, Suite 404A and 450 7th Street, Suite LL3A in Hoboken + a third location in Mountainside, the practice recently expanded its Child Therapy sector featuring a new office location with a private waiting area and larger therapy spaces, and also has a host of virtual options. Keep reading to learn more about this local team of therapists + its new office in Mountainside.

Here at The Hoboken Girl, we’re proud to (and not breaking any HIPAA laws) say we have worked extensively with its amazing therapists as clients, and have nothing but incredible things to say. The therapists are kind, caring, knowledgeable, and able to assist in whatever challenges life faces with both a deft ability to be professional yet compassionate, and always with empowerment in mind— and they do virtual appointments and accept many insurances! 10/10 would recommend.

All About Mindful Power

Mindful Power is a group psychotherapy and coaching practice born in Hoboken that empowers its clients to tap into their strengths and weaknesses so they can better understand themselves.

Mindful Power’s counselors can assist patients with developing clarity, reshaping negative perspectives and situations, and expressing their personal concerns and desires. For the past 13 years, the group has provided services to children, teens, adults, couples, and families alike.

“Our clinicians deliver evidence-based interventions and have extensive training and certifications in the most effective clinical tools,” said Mollie Busino, owner and founder of Mindful Power. “Our specializations include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), CBT for insomnia (CBT-I), exposure and ritual prevention (EXRP) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and phobias, somatics, mindfulness, and couples [therapy].”

^ Mollie Busino, founder of Mindful Power

In addition to providing evidence-based services, Mindful Power is one of the few practices that handles the process of submitting claims to their patients’ insurance companies and accepts payment directly from insurance (after deductibles are met). The group does this in an effort to minimize any additional stressors for its clients.

Sessions are held seven days a week during morning, afternoon, and evening hours. Mindful Power also provides virtual therapy for those with complex schedules or other limiting factors.

Mindful Power’s Services

Mindful Power treats clients of all ages, providing various plans and services that appeal to different aspects of life, ranging from parental leave training to female fertility mental health care.

“Our adult therapy sector supports adults through various transitions from navigating the challenges of dating, healing from trauma, career shifts, fertility challenges, pregnancy and postpartum, and grief,” Mollie told The Hoboken Girl.

Mindful Power also recently expanded its Child Therapy Sector with a new office location that features a private waiting area and large therapy spaces to help accommodate a variety of clinical tools and activities.

“We have a team of four child therapists who specialize in play therapy, CBT, OCD, anxiety, peer relations, phobias, perfectionism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and more,” Mollie said. “In addition, we offer the SPACE Program, an evidence-based structured parent coaching program for ways to effectively support children with anxiety.”

The counseling group also has a Coaching Sector that provides the following services:

• Parental leave coaching, which is an evidence-based program that supports new parents as they transition back into the working world. Treatment plans by the Mindful Power team are created to help lead expectant or new parents to a health transition before, during, and after parental leave.
• Fair play coaching, which empowers individuals and assists them with effective plans for managing the physical and mental load of running a household or rebalancing family needs. This type of coaching is helpful in decreasing conflict or creating a space for joy for couples and families that have recently moved, had a child or got a pet, or even had an external stressor like a new job.

An Authentic and Evidence-Based Approach to Therapy

Mindful Power adopts a holistic approach to healing for its clients. To cultivate customized treatment plans, clinicians evaluate their clients’ sleep, diet, past challenges, current struggles, lifestyle habits, and other information about their lives.

“Our top value is to provide authentic, genuine, and effective support to our clients,” said Mollie. “We truly care and value our clients and as a result are invested in making the positive shifts in their life that they deserve.”

The group has 13 experienced, credentialed clinicians with different backgrounds and areas of expertise. Every therapist works alongside their clients, supporting them as they accomplish their therapy-related goals and work on themselves.

Mindful Power has three North Jersey locations: 51 Newark Street, Suite 404A and 450 7th Street, Suite LL3A in Hoboken + a third location in Mountainside — as well as a multitude of virtual options. For client inquiries and to learn more, email Info@mindfulpower.net.

The post Mindful Power: One of Hoboken’s Most Beloved Therapy Practices appeared first on Minds Valley.

It is interesting that even as the Metaverse, AI, and other incredible technology solve complex problems, humanity continues to search for an answer to a millenia-old question: how to find purpose in life. It’s not for lack of trying – every bookstore is full of self-help books on success, love, and inner peace. Yet, we still struggle to attain what we seek. Modern day mystic Raquel Reyna, who developed The Creative Coaching Certification for Human Design Specialists and The Four Radical Transformations Certification program, says the solution lies within each of us.

In her new book, Are You a Mutant?, the Step-by-Step Guide to Unleash Your Human Design Genius, Understand Your Uniqueness, and Thrive During Times of Transformation, and in the book’s upcoming accompanying Live Online Masterclass series, Raquel explains that the secret to finding your life’s purpose lies in Human Design and your DNA code.

Both Raquel and her partner Davidian Lyon, who is a certified hypnotherapist, Reiki master, and Human Design Guide, are big believers in the power of the individual and are dedicated to helping more people to discover and embrace their own uniqueness. “I think there is a lot that society does well – and sometimes not so much,” Raquel says, adding, “We are generally in tune with the importance of developing our skills and abilities, but the problem is that we do this in order to fit into a world that has been designated for us. We are conditioned, I suppose, to set aside our uniqueness so that we can be what our parents or society tells us to be. My goal is to help people to learn who they really are, how to live as their unique selves, and how to make decisions based on their own personalized inner GPS system, which so many don’t even realize that they have.”

Raquel’s path to having a platform of more than 55,000 people around the world began with her decision to leave corporate America in her 40s. After getting her Master’s in Spiritual Psychology, she climbed in her career, traveling the world as a representative for her company and speaking on shows like the Tyra Banks Show and The View. Unexpectedly, however, despite her being successful on paper, she felt bored and unfulfilled.

“Don’t get me wrong – to a very real extent, it was fun,” Raquel remembers. “It’s just that I felt like there should be more to life, a whole new level to heart-centered living. I found my answers when I met Davidian, who helped me to see that I was a Projector. As I learned this new intel that merged ancient mystery school teachings with quantum physics, it gave me the courage and foundation to leave corporate and step into entrepreneurship without a safety net.”

Raquel was passionate about Human Design and realized that when she combined this knowledge with spiritual tools, the Law of Attraction, shamanic principles, spiritual psychology, and a collection of greatest hits from the self-help industry, she could offer something that seriously transformed the lives of her clients. She launched this entirely new education online and began offering individuals a whole new perspective on how to unlock their life purpose and direction. Through her programs, Raquel teaches her clients the power of Human Design, including how to read charts for their own business clients. But, it reaches far beyond this – people understand their partners, their families, and their children better. Everyone in their lives is seen for the first time when people understand the Design of the people around them. Coaches are finally able to help all their clients, not just the select few who rise to the top.

“It has been an incredible journey, one that has led to serving hundreds of women all over the world,” she says. “It has been immensely rewarding to guide them to fully awaken so that they can express their unique inner brilliance and transform their lives, relationships, and careers.”

Raquel is excited about 2023, as she will launch her Live Online Masterclass series “Are You a Mutant, Ushering In the Era of the Individual” at the end of May, and her new book hits the shelves in September.

In the online event, she will be interviewing 12 inspiring women who have created successful lives and businesses that represent their own individual uniqueness, thriving outside of the matrix of homogenous aspirations. In addition, Raquel and Davidian, continue to develop and run their online Human Design Woo Boutique™, www.Foxy5D.com.

“I can’t wait to delve into the stories of these women so that listeners can see that it really is possible to live their lives on a higher level,” says Raquel. “May it inspire them to believe in their own potential and to go after their personal and professional dreams.”

With her book, which can be pre-ordered now on Amazon, Raquel will go deep into the intel that she says “rings true like a mystical calling from your soul.” As the world continues to change post-COVID, Raquel encourages readers to upgrade their inner world with a new system of knowledge that supports their understanding of the world they live in and in the one we are moving into.

“Too many of us are living inauthentically and lack strategies for attaining personal success as we define it, satisfaction, and peace,” Raquel says. “The Law of Attraction and other ideas have their place, but they are not solutions in themselves.
