What is MCD Therapy?
Mindful Compassionate Dialogue Therapy (MCD Therapy) is an experiential therapy model that integrates key elements of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and attachment-informed practice to train therapists to use dialogue as a pathway for discovery and relational healing, particularly in couples and relationship-focused work.
MCD offers 9 foundations for wellbeing and building an integrated sense of self. In addition, it illuminates 12 relationship competencies - clear, learnable skills for cultivating love, trust, and collaboration.
As clients grow in their capacity to embody these competencies, they expand their ability to flourish in every part of life and love.
There are clients seeking this work. We look forward to growing the list of practitioners to refer them to!
