About us

Flor Verde Healing was created to support individuals seeking a more holistic and integrated approach to mental, emotional, and physical well-being. We believe that health is influenced by many interconnected factors, including our relationships, environment, life experiences, behaviors, and access to resources and support.

Our approach combines evidence-informed practices with compassionate, individualized care. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we partner with clients to explore their strengths, challenges, values, and goals while developing sustainable strategies that support overall well-being.

We are committed to providing care that is inclusive, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and grounded in respect for each person's unique identity and lived experience. Through psychotherapy, mind-body practices, education, and other integrative approaches, we strive to help clients cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

All services are provided by licensed healthcare and mental health professionals.

Sincerely,

Alysia Makhani MSN, MPH, RN, Founder of Flor Verde Healing
