Integral therapy is a blended therapeutic approach that draws from several other methods and theories, including pharmacological, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, existential, feminist, multicultural, somatic, and transpersonal. It was first developed by Ken Wilber and is founded on the idea that all insights on life contain partial truths and that weaving together a range of cultural, psychological, socioeconomic, biological, spiritual, and behavioral perspectives can often provide the best treatment. Integral therapy has much in common with holistic therapy and has a focus on increased mindfulness. It can be broadly applied to a number of issues, including trauma and relationship problems.

I received my Master's degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies, with a concentration in Integral Counseling Psychology. Integral therapy begins with the assumption that all people are capable of change, and that wholeness is our natural state of being. Within this frame, the process of therapy includes reestablishing a sense of connection to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.
— Lucius Wheeler, Licensed Professional Counselor in , ORI graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies with a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology. Therefore, I take an integral approach. What this means to me, though, is that your therapy experience with me be a blend of different modalities, tools & skillsets tailored to your specific needs in any moment. My knowledge and wisdom is institutional & ancestral. I follow my intuition around what medicine to bring forward in our work together.
— Jules Peithman, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Oakland, CAWe all have been told half truths over our lives. These messages ring loud in the background of our minds. Lets get together and learn to tell ourselves the correct messages.
— Jose Feliciano, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in La MESA, CAI'm an integral therapist, and I believe because we are a whole organism with many data points and infinite relationship to the world around us, that our healing, improvements, and growth also come from the many strands of life around us. To that end, I bring together psychological approaches, sociological data, and human-centered care to provide a holistic, unique form of service.
— Andrew Amick, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Valley Village, CAGrief Counseling consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will share thoughts when it's helpful and provide guidance based on my training and experience as a grief counselor.
— Dawn Daabul, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in San Rafael, CAI first read Ken Wilber when I was in high school in the 1980s and his way of looking at the world had profound effect on my young mind. It remains one of the most complete and integrated systems of knowledge that exists, that I know about anyway. In many ways it is essentially a rigorously holistic approach to human change and can be a great way to illuminate blind spots on one's own roadmap to positive, lasting change.
— Stephen Barnard, Licensed Clinical Social WorkerIntegral means to view from a holistic point of view. We are all biological, social, cultural, subjective, and spiritual creatures. When viewed from a holistic standpoint, a person gains greater agency and less blame. There are things that happen to us that occur from sociocultural and familial trauma, and there are things that happen within us in response to that event. That is where we have the agency to act and change. Meditation, breathwork, dreamwork, and psychedelic integration.
