A single adaptable process for every client.

CMI is a structured yet unscripted therapy framework that helps clinicians recognize and work with the patterns and signals that drive client behavior. Rather than following rigid protocols, CMI keeps you present, responsive, and effective across simple and complex cases alike.

Built by clinicians for clinicians to overcome the limits of rigid methods.

No two clients present the same way. Too often, scripted approaches leave both therapist and client stuck when progress plateaus. CMI was developed to:

Provide one process that adapts across client presentations.

Amplify therapist strengths of compassion, attunement, and presence.

Prevent burnout by freeing clinicians from rigid, one-size-fits-all protocols.

Deliver lasting relief by supporting nervous system-level integration.

Testimonials

Not only have I seen changes with my clients, I have been able to feel a shift and healing taking place within myself. It has been wonderful having support from the CMI community as I make my own discoveries through learning to tune into my own needs, which benefits me as a clinician, as a parent and partner, and as a human being.

Holly C., LCSWIdaho

Based off client experience, CMI is an effective protocol centered on a self-guided, explorative journey to core issues. This free-flowing technique has produced powerful results in my clients, which many of are in treatment involuntarily and unmotivated towards change initially. With CMI they have been able to discover that it’s “not really about the constant noise” they hear (in their head) daily; it is truly about connecting to their CORE self. I am thankful to participate in this journey with the knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive people at ARISE. In this field, that is truly hard to come by

Makame, LCSWTripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii

CMI has been a great tool to assist my work in direct patient care. I find that my patients are more willing to embrace CMI because of its quicker access to one’s core self and core barriers. Separately, CMI has been a great foundation in my approach to psychedelic, ketamine, and TMS treatment. CMI is a meaningful complement to these other therapeutics. CMI just makes sense when I think about my philosophy in treatment. To truly heal, we need to go straight to one’s core self.
