Holistic Therapy

A holistic approach to therapy leads with the big picture. Holistic psychotherapy, an integrative treatment method, emphasizes the relationship between the mind, body, and spirit, attempting to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of a person can manifest in other areas. Therapists who use a holistic approach typically believe that seeing each client as a whole being with interconnected emotions, physical feelings, thoughts and spiritual experiences is fundamental to providing successful care. Holistic therapists will help clients gain a deeper understanding of their whole self, which can build self-awareness and self-acceptance. Holistic Therapy is used to treat a number of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and mood regulation.  Think this approach might be right for you?

We are more than just our struggles. The relationship between all aspects of who we are: our body, mind, and spirit influence how we feel and function. By taking a holistic approach, we can consider you as a whole person and work within your emotions (thoughts and attitudes), relationships (with self and others), and spiritual aspects (beliefs about your place in the world).

— Natalie Bernstein, Clinical Psychologist in Pittsburgh, PA

I use a holistic, integrative approach, considering the whole person, and the interconnectedness of the mind, body & spirit. I uniquely tailor sessions blending evidence-based practices, including psychodynamic principles complimented with food mood psychology inspired by functional medicine, to address both root causes and current challenges.

I use a custom approach that combines and complements therapies in an integrative mind/body/spirit holistic model and evidence-based medical practices.

— Marianna Chavez, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Ontario, CA

Holistic therapy aims to integrate all facets of your being - mind, body, spirit - in order to achieve overall wellness. Rather than being symptom-focused, holistic therapy takes into account what makes up the whole-person.

— Dr. Dana Avey, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Colorado Springs, CO
 

Holistic Therapy supports that the whole person is made up of interdependent mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional parts. Holistically, I weave together a tapestry of tools inspired by the expressive arts, somatic counseling psychology, neuroscience, psychosynthesis, ecopsychology, transpersonal psychology, guided imagery, energy healing practices, kundalini yoga, shamanic practice, Jungian psychology, and mindfulness practices that leads to lasting healing and transformation.

— Lina Návar, Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin, TX

I have been especially drawn to holistic therapy since I worked in early childhood development and watched as bodyworkers unwind trauma and tension in little ones' bodies, without using words. Since then I have certified in infant massage instruction, taken five multi-day courses in cranio-sacral therapy, and trained as a Reiki Master. Since 2018 have been immersed in personal study of herbalism and the work of Medical Medium Anthony William for addressing chronic illness.

A holistic approach means seeing a person as a whole being and recognizing the interconnectedness of one’s mind, body, and spirit in defining one’s overall wellness. Holistic balance utilizes a self-inventory of one’s mental (psychological), physical, emotional (i.e. expression of emotions), and spiritual (i.e. values, beliefs, sense of purpose) health to identify imbalances and work towards optimal wellness by strengthening weakened areas.

— Shavonne James, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Long Beach, CA

Holistic therapy utilizes a range of techniques to help individuals understand their symptoms. In addition, such strategies are designed to foster a greater sense of self-awareness to better understand the connections between their body, mind, and relationships and how these elements play a role in mental health. Mindfulness practices are utilized as well as learning how to self-regulate emotions and nervous system. Walk & Talk therapy would be a great option for this approach.

— Lindsay Dornier, Clinical Social Worker in The Woodlands, TX

I have received a graduate certificate in Holistic Health from Saint Catherine University and have completed a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional training

— Elise Zimmerman, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Saint Paul, MN
 

Both naturopathic medicine and counseling are based on a wellness, strengths-based model that emphasizes holism, prevention, and the therapeutic relationship. Part of my professional philosophy as not only an ND but also as a mental health counselor is that everyone has the power to achieve wellness, and even people with chronic disease, deep-rooted mental health struggles, or traumatic pasts have the ability to heal with the right guidance and interventions

— Katherine Jones, Licensed Professional Counselor in Edina, MN

Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. All parts of who you are as a person can affect (and be affected by) your mental state. I encourage people to examine what they notice in their mind, heart, body, and all different aspects of their life. This allows us to feel more whole as human beings, and can improve our relationships with all different pieces of our lives.

— Jennie Hagen, Licensed Professional Counselor in Vancouver, WA
 

My approach to therapy is multifaceted because You are multifaceted. My practice is integrated using "evidence based therapeutic modalities" that address Brain-Mind-Body-Emotions. We are in the new era of Western medicine and psychology. Today, instead of holding the old limiting view of the brain and body as only a biological machine, awesome scientists, doctors, and healers know mind-body is a vast energetic network where Spirit, Matter, Energy, and Power intersect -- Linking these energy centers to prevent psychological suffering and physical illness, and heal illnesses and emotional suffering. You are whole and Holistic Being. I view symptoms from a growth oriented perspective because symptoms are the alert signs telling you that something about your life, in your life, or your approach to life is not in balance. I help you on your journey to heal and transform from the “Inside-out” and the “Outside-In.” Its kinda like a Mind-Emotion-Body Detox.

— Dr. Shawna Freshwater, Clinical Psychologist in Miami Beach, FL

Holistic Therapy is important because it incorporates our whole-person (i.e. body, mind, spirit) needs into the healing process. For example, the unmet needs of our creative spirit can negatively impact our sense of self-worth or how stretching in the morning can relax our minds. It's all connected!

— Shavonne James, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Long Beach, CA
 

Your body, mind, and self (or consciousness, soul or spirit) are all a part of being human living on this Earth. Each of these aspects has information for you. Often we can become experts at listening to one aspect more than the others. Psychotherapy is a chance to pay attention to what else is happening for you, learn new ways to support all of you, listen to your own wisdom and the wisdom of the world around you, and follow the inner healer within you.

— Sarah Peace, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Los Angeles, CA
