Mindfulness is a practice of bringing focused attention to the present moment with openness and without judgment. In therapy, mindfulness techniques can help you develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. Many people find that incorporating mindfulness into their therapeutic work supports them in managing stress, navigating difficult emotions, and building a stronger connection between mind and body.

On First Session, you can browse therapists who incorporate mindfulness into their approach. Watch their intro videos to get a sense of their style, explore their credentials (verified during onboarding), and book your first appointment online. Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice with professional support, you can find a therapist who fits your needs.

What is mindfulness in therapy?

Mindfulness in therapy involves cultivating present-moment awareness through various techniques such as focused breathing, body scans, and guided meditation. Therapists may integrate mindfulness practices into sessions to help you observe your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. This approach is often used alongside other therapeutic methods to support self-awareness and emotional regulation.

How can mindfulness-based therapy help?

Many people find that mindfulness-based therapy supports them in managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. By learning to notice thoughts and feelings as they arise, you may develop greater clarity about your inner experience. Mindfulness can also help you respond to challenging situations more intentionally rather than reacting automatically. It's an approach that many find helpful for building resilience and overall well-being.

What happens in a mindfulness therapy session?

Sessions typically involve a combination of conversation and experiential exercises. Your therapist might guide you through breathing practices, body awareness exercises, or brief meditations. You'll also have time to discuss what you're experiencing and how mindfulness relates to your goals. Each therapist has their own style, so watching intro videos can help you understand what to expect from a particular practitioner.

How do I find a mindfulness therapist?

On First Session, you can filter for therapists who incorporate mindfulness into their practice. Browse their profiles, watch their intro videos, and read about their approach. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding. Once you find someone who feels like a good fit, you can book your first session directly online.

Is mindfulness-based therapy right for me?

Mindfulness-based therapy may be a good fit if you're interested in developing greater self-awareness, learning techniques for managing stress, or exploring the connection between your thoughts and emotions. It's often helpful for people who feel overwhelmed or want to respond to life's challenges with more intention. If you're unsure, many therapists offer consultations to discuss whether their approach aligns with what you're looking for.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Browse therapists on First Session who incorporate mindfulness into their work. Watch their intro videos to get a sense of their personality and approach. When you find someone who resonates with you, book your first session online. You can choose between online or in-person appointments based on your preference and the therapist's availability.
