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 supports individuals with anxiety or people-pleasing tendencies by addressing the connection between mind, body, and spirit. It incorporates mindfulness, breathwork, and body awareness to help you manage anxiety, while also exploring emotional patterns that fuel people-pleasing behaviors. By focusing on the whole person, holistic therapy encourages self-compassion, emotional balance, and helps you build healthier boundaries, leading to a more regulated and aligned experience.

— Shima Ahmedaly, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boca Raton, FL
 

I work from a body-mind-spirit philosophy, as they are all connected. We can explore how your nervous system may be dysregulated and ways to support your body through exercise, diet, connection, sleep, and rest. We can examine thinking patterns and ways to shift them, creating new and healthier associations. By going deeper, we can honor unhealed wounds, leading to a more connected state and deeper relationships with yourself, others, purpose, and meaning.

— Sophia Fleming, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tucson, AZ

I treat my clients as a whole person rather then a diagnosis. I see the importance of addressing all areas of a person's health and wellbeing, including their mental and emotional health but also social, physical, spiritual, and occupational health as well. All of these life areas interact and impact on another, so I find the counseling experience to be most effective when all areas are in a state of growth.

Functional Medicine practitioners use holistic approaches to look “upstream” to consider the complex interactions in your history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup is considered, along with both internal (mind, body and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect total functioning.

Holistic therapy is centered upon the mind-body-soul[-breath] connection. Therefore, whatever issue is arising for discussion the therapy setting is perceived through the lens of the whole body.

— Lien Chi, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in Seattle, WA

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, etc.) health to identify imbalances and work towards optimal wellness. Holistic balance emphasizes the belief that all areas of health are of equal importance.
