MBSR is an 8-week program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, combining mindfulness meditation and gentle yoga to address stress, pain, and illness. It helps participants cultivate awareness of the present moment, reducing the overwhelm of racing thoughts or emotional distress.
At LAMH, we tailor MBSR to meet diverse needs, whether you’re managing a busy lifestyle or seeking relief from conditions like insomnia. Through guided practices and group support, participants gain tools to enhance focus, emotional balance, and physical relaxation, making MBSR a cornerstone of our holistic offerings.
MBSR empowers individuals to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, breaking the cycle of stress reactivity. This practice can ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, offering a sense of calm and control. By fostering self-awareness, participants learn to respond to challenges – like work pressures or personal loss – with greater clarity and resilience, often seeing improvements in sleep and mood.
The program’s benefits extend beyond the sessions, integrating seamlessly with other therapies at LAMH, such as Trauma-Informed Care. Research shows MBSR reduces cortisol levels, enhances emotional regulation, and supports overall mental health, making it ideal for those seeking a proactive approach to wellness.
Our MBSR instructors are certified professionals with extensive training and years of experience in teaching mindfulness and stress reduction techniques. They are committed to creating a supportive and safe environment, ensuring every participant feels comfortable and guided throughout their journey. Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, our instructors offer personalized attention, always available to answer questions, provide insights, and adapt the program to your evolving needs.
At Los Angeles Mental Health, we recognize that each individual’s experience with stress is unique, so we customize our MBSR sessions to address your specific challenges, whether they stem from work, relationships, health concerns, or other sources.

Our tailored approach empowers you to achieve meaningful, lasting results that resonate with your personal goals and circumstances.
