Bruce Norquist, M.A.
More About Bruce Norquist
Bruce takes an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), mindfulness, self-compassion, and Family Systems Theory. He believes that while challenges shape our journey, they do not define who we are—and that healing begins when we feel safe enough to ground ourselves in the present moment and restore the connection between the body, heart, and mind.
