Welcome to Nourished Wellness Group
As a community of holistic therapists in California, we approach your well-being with the utmost care and intentionality. Together, we get to the root to understand you as a whole person and establish a custom, collaborative plan for enriching your therapeutic experience.
OUR PURPOSE
Take Care of Your Mind, Tend to Your Body
All the parts within you are connected, so we care for you that way. Unlike traditional therapy's narrow focus, our diverse team collaborates to offer a well-rounded approach. We combine top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (body sensations & feelings) methods with the intention of achieving alignment with the mind, body, and soul. Recognizing this looks different for every courageous individual, therapies may include: somatic exercises, nervous system regulation, and mind-body techniques like yoga, meditation, and breathwork.
When you’re ready, we’ll meet you here.
A NOURISHING PHILOSOPHY
Learning to Hold the Dualities Within & Around Us
Here, we take in the waves of life's contradictions and complexities.
We can feel both joyful and vulnerable. Gratitude for how far we’ve come and grief toward our past. Soft in our emotions and strong in our boundaries. Surrender and control.
It’s seeing things clearly and fully for what we are and how we feel – many things, all at once.
It’s also why we prefer the psychological and physiological to walk hand in hand. The brain and body deserve equal love, support, and attention.
In this validating space of acceptance and openness, we stretch ourselves to hold and respond to our intricate thoughts and emotions while remaining receptive to the unknown that’s to unfold ahead. Together, let’s courageously commit to welcoming and reclaiming our whole selves for a more unified existence.
Through therapy, we meet our many layers. By patiently moving closer to and embracing these imperfect parts of us, they gradually soften and unfold in our direction. In the process, a profound sense of relief washes over us, fostering a nurturing, empathetic connection within ourselves.

A Therapy Experience That Feels Like
A Breath of Fresh Air
We challenge the stigma and take extra steps beyond what’s typical or expected to deliver whole-person mental health treatments. Here are some ways we do things differently at Nourished Wellness Group:
01 mind-body connection
By taking an integrative approach to therapy, we embrace you as the whole person you are – looking after your mind and body in unison. When we address the interconnected nature of your humanness, the focus shifts from individual symptoms to delicately fine-tuning how all the parts harmonize to support your overall well-being.
02 courtesy billing
Given that we’re an out-of-network practice, we make your peace of mind a priority by handling insurance billing matters on your behalf – with the utmost care and sensitivity. This way, you can maintain your focus on your healing journey.
03 studio nourished
Navigating therapy is a patient, dedicated path. Steady support can enrich the flow of your progress. To bridge the gap between sessions, we’re pleased to offer Studio Nourished – a clients-only virtual sanctuary where you can engage in guided practices and find comfort at any moment.
GET TO KNOW FOUNDER
& LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST
Kelly Vincent, PsyD
The idea for Nourished Wellness Group was inspired by Dr. Kelly Vincent’s intention to fulfill the need for truly integrative care. Drawing from her own lived experiences, she deeply connects and empathizes with our clients as she, too, engages in the practice of relearning, restoring, regulating & releasing. Dr. Vincent believes that healing and nurturing our bodies is a gentle journey — one she’s honored to accompany many on, with the support of her understanding, compassionate team.

Mantras
01
YOU ARE SAFE & SUPPORTED
When you open the door to Nourished Wellness Group, you enter a warm, easeful haven where your well-being is our priority. It’s a non-judgmental, confidential, aesthetically pleasing space to come to when things feel challenging or unclear.
02
NOURISH YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM TO FLOURISH
As your nervous system finds peace and equilibrium, your whole body functions better. Therefore, you feel better. This is why we gently integrate nervous system-informed practices into our therapy plans, aiming to give you the nurturing tools to regulate your emotional state in times of imbalance – moving from numb to present, reactive to calm.
03
PROGRESS IS BETTER THAN PERFECTION
Healing is a gradual, non-linear, ongoing journey. It’s less about striving for “every day” perfection and more about nurturing a forgiving, inherently human path. The small, intentional steps taken today will affirm the right pace for you through life’s fluctuations, showing you all you’ve done for yourself and how far you’ve come.
04
YOU ARE DESERVING OF (INTEGRATED) HEALING
Your needs matter. And it’s okay to put them first sometimes. Every person is inherently worthy of kind, comprehensive, attentive care both inside and outside our space – from in-person cognitive and somatic therapies to our clients-only online platform Studio Nourished, and courtesy insurance billing on your behalf, freeing you to tend to fulfilling areas of your life.
