What Are You PAYING For When You Private Pay for Mental Health Treatment?
Coriander Living Collective is designed as a private pay for services business accepting credit, debit, HSA, or FLEX funds. We believe as a provider this offers you the highest level of care. For you as the client, this affords you certain advantages over using health insurance or a third party payer: greater privacy, no required mental health diagnosis, and complete control over treatment.
Life is Movement
From before birth, until our last breath, we are moving. Movement might look like our heart beating, walking, or the choices we make. We are constantly moving towards or away, with or against, and in so many other ways. Our bodies and movement are one of our greatest resources as human beings. There is a reason that throughout history and across cultures people move, people dance. It is how we live. It is how we communicate. It is how we meet needs. Emotions are energy moving in our bodies. Movement is one of our birth rights. We get to grow and change. Why not practice movement with “intention and purpose?”

Can You Name Our 3 Universal Human Needs?
From our first cry after birth until our last breath before death, everything we do is based on getting our needs met. ALL our behavior is purpose driven including our symptoms!

How To MANAGE STRESS + ALL THE THINGS ON YOUR PLATE BETTER!
In our culture, we have this attitude of MORE, BIGGER, BETTER and yet mental and physical health issues are at all-time highs, loneliness, dissatisfaction, and disconnection are commonplace. We are unwell as a cultural and I’m convinced part of the issue is our busyness and this MORE, BIGGER, BETTER attitude.
When Is the Last Time You REALLY Felt Alive? Satisfied? Joy-Filled?
As human beings, we are hardwired to experience seeking. Seeking leads to learning, entertainment, and stimulation.
If you are dissatisfied with any or all aspects of your life, my advice to you, start seeking a better life. Try something different, new, weird, scary! Just do something different. We all deserve a life well lived.
