East Meets West Holistics
Specialties
Holistic in a medical sense means treating the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than masking the symptoms of a disease. This approach allows the patient to heal in several aspects with the goal of eliminating the ailments or diseases all together and preventing them from returning. Psychotherapy, in a clinical setting, you and a psychologist work together to identify and change the thought and behavior patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best. By the time you're done, you will have solved the problem that brought you in, and may learned new skills so you can better cope with whatever challenges arise in the future. Holistic psychotherapy, an integrative approach grounded in psychosynthesis, focuses on the relationship between mind, body, soul and spirit, attempting to understand and address the ways issues in one aspect of a person can lead to concerns in other areas. Those pursuing holistic therapy may, with the support of a qualified mental health professional, become better attuned to their entire awareness, which can often promote greater acceptance of the self and overall better health.
