Integrative Psychotherapy

Mind-Body Medicine


What is Integrative Psychotherapy?

Integrative psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach based on the newest research regarding mind-body health and healing.  In a relaxed atmosphere and with a common sense approach, we will address the mental, emotional and physical imbalances or upsets that are causing you to experience a variety of concerns and stresses.  I use an in-depth somatic and cognitive psychotherapeutic approach, which includes using a variety of modalities, some of which are: breathwork, regression, exercise, food/mood and micronutrition guidance, and more. The result is a relaxed, confident and healthy body/mind.  

Integrative Psychotherapy is sometimes referred to as "holistic" psychotherapy, where the individual is understood to be a synergistic whole, not merely a psyche.  Also a "functional" approach, such as with Functional Medicine, asks that we heal the root cause of a problem rather than suppress the symptoms.  The result is a complete correction or healing.

How does it help?

Integrative Psychotherapy, with it's multi-level approach, brings about physical and mental/emotional change much more effectively and quickly than talk therapy. Bringing brain chemistry into balance helps relieve the mental/emotional distress brought on by environmental stressers, such as poor nutrition, stressful situations and mental and physical toxicity.  Many people are unaware of how strongly environmental issues effect our mental/emotional experiences. Alleviating unresolved mental/emotional issues (that produce a cascade of biochemicals) will also help bring brain chemistry into balance. You have the opportunity to be guided to the very center of your Self where you can learn what is needed for the resolution of inner upset and develop true inner peace. You will find your self exchanging defenses and worries for self-trust and confidence. You can transform illness, depression and anxiety into health, peace and happiness. Whatever issues you want to address, this integrative approach will support you to reach your goals quickly -- no need for years in therapy.

Using this effective, natural approach enables you to avoid, reduce or eliminate the need for toxic psychopharmaceuticals. 

Who does it help?

If you are challenged with a physical illness (critical, acute or chronic), if you are having difficulty with a relationship (intimate / parent-child / friend / employer-employee / non-traditional and gay/lesbian), if you are feeling anxious or depressed, if you are having difficulty making decisions, if you have trouble with your relationship to food, if you've experienced childhood trauma or abuses, if you need support about how to parent, if you procrastinate, if you want to overcome compulsive behavior, if you want to be more confident and self-loving, or if you are taking on the challenges of leadership, Integrative Psychotherapy enables you to develop the conscious awareness and inner strength needed to create the changes you want.

Integrative Psychotherapy focuses on and supports the strength of the human mind/body/spirit.  It assists you in learning from and then transforming whatever is holding you back from the life and health you want and deserve to experience.
