SHP was founded by Dr. Nasya Breach, who is a licensed clinical and health psychologist.  In her work she uses a holistic approach in attending to the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of her clients' lives, and integrates a variety of evidence-based treatment paradigms into her approach.  Dr. Breach is particularly passionate about supporting authentic, aligned, value-based living, and is especially committed to holding safe, affirming and empowering space for members of historically marginalized and oppressed communities.  She cultivates a warm, genuine and collaborative style that centers the unique experiences, perspectives, values and goals of her clients.

SHP's ethos is grounded in the notion that we thrive most optimally when we honor and embody balance between our holistic (bio-psycho-socio-spiritual) needs for autonomy/self-determination (our sovereign nature) and our needs for interdependence/deep connection (our holographic nature).  As such, SHP emphasizes cultivating self-awareness, self-expression, self-regulation, self-compassion, self-care, self-love, embodiment, empowerment, authenticity, vitality, meaning and purpose--while also naming, exploring, honoring, interrogating and coming into harmonious relationship with the familial, social, cultural, political, geographical, ecological, historical and cosmological systems and contexts within which such growth and transformation is embedded.
