About Us
What We’re About
Involution Inc. is an integrative practice focused on mental health and wellness. Our clinicians regularly work with members of the general public, Veterans, and first responders who struggle with a variety of concerns, including: depression, anxiety, stress management, anger, trauma, PTSD, grief, pregnancy loss and infertility, insomnia, relationship difficulties, self-esteem difficulties, and other emotional and behavioral issues.
Mental health is impacted by a variety of different factors, including physical and emotional wellness as well as your environment.
With this understanding, we provide clients with comprehensive treatment using a variety of modalities, including: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), evidence-based trauma treatment, including Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Gottman therapy for couples, Numa Breathwork, sound therapy, and mindfulness-based treatment.
We believe that true foundational healing fundamentally involves recognizing and working with the mind/body connection. Our practice utilizes evidence-based treatments that enable us to work with both the mind and the manifestation of emotional experiences that get stored in the body.

Hypnotherapy
Advanced Hypnotherapy is Psychotherapy that uses the natural, relaxed state of hypnosis to access the subconscious part of your mind. Through the subconscious mind, one can create positive and lasting changes. If you want to overcome self-limiting thoughts, feelings, or behaviours, your subconscious mind is a powerful tool in creating that change.
Numa Breathwork
Numa Breathwork is a practice that utilizes the easy method of conscious breathing together with mindful explorations in movement and the therapeutic vibration of sound. This is a practice in returning to natural, unrestricted breathing. The practice starts with mimicking, as best as possible, a natural breathing experience and ends with being breathed.
Breathwork for First Responders
Breathing Training is a must for people who work in high stakes, high stress, or life or death situations. Breathwork Training is a key skillset that high performing individuals need. People whose job it is to save lives, manage crisis situations, and coordinate emergency activities need to have a head on their shoulders and be in touch with their hearts.
Mindfulness Practices
Mindfulness is different from our default mode. Developing a steady and non-reactive attention is often radically different from the way we are in the world, helping us be present in our lives and giving us some control over our reactions and repetitive thought patterns.
Breathwork for Children
Imagine what life would be like if your beliefs were counteracted before you see them as fact? Consider the possibilities of knowing the truth much earlier. The younger we are, the less armoring we carry. In the absence of resistance to the process, the breath can do its job quickly.
