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?

Holistic therapy integrates the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. I employ a holistic approach to address clients' concerns by considering their lifestyle, relationships, and belief systems. Through a combination of talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle adjustments, I support clients in achieving balance and harmony in all areas of their lives, promoting holistic healing and growth.

— Dr. Denise Renye, Sex Therapist in san francisco, CA

I view the individual as part of a collective whole... part of their family system, social circle, society, planet earth, and the universe. Taking this broad view puts the complexity of each individual in context of larger systems in which we operate. Holistic therapy involves an understanding of nondualism: that all is interconnected. You are your own best healer. My job is to support you in honoring and becoming familiar with your most authentic self.

In working with my clients, I recognize the importance of compassionately and mindfully addressing the physical, spiritual, psychological, and emotional components of their experience in order to have a whole person understanding of their issue. The way I employ holistic therapy can help you learn how to regulate your nervous system, remember who you are and why you are here by embodying your present experience, and master ridding the waves of change and transformation.

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.

I have used mindfulness, CBT, ACT, person-centered, psychodynamic, and DBT all with one client so far depending on what they needed with each session.

— Gulsanam Azieva, Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY

I love working with clients to think about how their health, nutrition and especially sleep effect their mental health. Whether a client is trying to get pregnant or recovering from growing/birthing a baby - health is a huge component of that journey. I especially help clients to focus on sleep - which is difficult, but so essential, in the postpartum period. I want clients to feel their best in every aspect of life - an sleep and nutrition are key factor in that.

Sometimes we feel like parts of us are missing or are weak. We may be experiencing physical pain due to what we are thinking or feeling. The holistic approach is to to help correct, heal, and strengthen you as a whole individual. This may look like doing some stretching during a session, having a homework assignment to get a massage or enjoy a healthy meal, or maybe it’s sitting in your feelings and recognizing how they show up in your body.

— Michele Kitney, Professional Counselor Associate

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.
