Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Most therapy practices mention mindfulness as a technique. At Savant Care, we built it into the care model. Patients can access free 1:1 Trauma-Informed Yoga sessions with a certified instructor when their provider recommends it, coordinated with your therapist and psychiatric provider. This is not an add-on. It is how we practice.
Savant Care combines medical psychiatry with Trauma-Informed Yoga.

Talk therapy with mindfulness
Your therapist integrates mindfulness techniques (MBCT, ACT, or MBSR) into your sessions. You learn to observe thoughts without being consumed by them.
Trauma-Informed Yoga sessions
Between therapy appointments, you attend free 1:1 yoga sessions with Riya Bhatt. These build body awareness, self-regulation, and stress resilience in a safe, guided setting.
Psychiatric support if needed
If medication would support your progress, your therapist connects you with a prescriber on the same team. Mindfulness practices work well alongside medication.
Skills that stay with you
Mindfulness is a skill that deepens with practice. You leave therapy with techniques you can use independently, long after sessions end.
Trauma-Informed Yoga
Free 1:1 sessions with Riya Bhatt (RYT-200, Trauma-Informed Yoga Certified). Designed for people managing anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, and physical tension. No prior experience needed.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Combines mindfulness meditation with CBT techniques. Originally developed to prevent depression relapse. Teaches you to observe thoughts without engaging in the spiral.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Uses mindfulness and acceptance alongside values-based action. Instead of fighting difficult thoughts, ACT teaches you to hold them lightly while living according to what matters.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
An 8-week program developed at UMass Medical Center. Teaches body scan meditation, gentle movement, and sitting meditation for stress reduction.
Do I need meditation experience?
No. Your therapist and Riya (our yoga instructor) guide you from the beginning. Mindfulness develops with practice, and sessions are designed for all levels.
Is mindfulness therapy the same as meditation?
Not exactly. Mindfulness-based therapy uses meditation as one tool within a broader framework that also includes cognitive techniques, behavioral strategies, and clinical support.
How is Trauma-Informed Yoga different from regular yoga?
It emphasizes safety, choice, and body awareness over physical performance. There is no pressure to hold any pose. The instructor adapts to each person's needs and history.
Can mindfulness therapy work with medication?
Yes. Mindfulness practices complement medication well. Your therapist and prescriber coordinate on the same team at Savant Care.
How many sessions does it take?
MBCT and MBSR follow 8-week formats. ACT varies based on goals. Trauma-Informed Yoga is ongoing and available throughout your time with Savant Care.
Is this covered by insurance?
Yes. Mindfulness-based therapy is billed as psychotherapy. Trauma-Informed Yoga is available at no additional cost when your provider recommends it. Call (866) 499-2588 to verify coverage.

The evidence for mindfulness-based therapy
A review in JAMA Internal Medicine found moderate evidence that mindfulness meditation improves anxiety, depression, and pain (Goyal et al., 2014). MBCT specifically reduces depression relapse risk by approximately 34% compared to usual care (Kuyken et al., 2016).
What makes Savant Care different is that mindfulness is not just a technique mentioned in sessions. It is built into the care model through Trauma-Informed Yoga, a body-based practice coordinated with your therapy and psychiatric care.
