Holistic Counseling
I offer a variety of specialized holistic healing services that can be used independently or combined depending on what you are looking for, and what is most beneficial for you at a given time.
Primarily, my intention is to optimally support you in moving forward and achieving your healing transformation goals. Holistic Counseling is an integrative approach grounded in the premise that the whole person is made up of interdependent mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional parts. Thus, if one part isn’t working properly, all the other parts are affected.
For instance, I possess the specialized clinical skills and tools to assess, diagnose, and treat psychiatric syndromes and populations; however, I go beyond the traditional wisdom of appraisal in the clinical environment, as I am very aware of the damage mental health stigma can have on an individual. The goal is to help you make sense of the mental health diagnosis you might have been given and also make sense of your experiences and symptoms, some which may be troubling or confusing. Learning about mental health can help you see that you are not your diagnosis, and that you are not alone.
On a similar note that stems from a holistic approach, I may first consider discussing with my clients, what steps they have taken or could take before recommending a medication evaluation; unless, of course, the situation appears to require an assessment by a psychiatrist as soon as possible. If it’s appropriate, I may introduce the use of breath, relaxation and mindfulness exercises, creative expression, or reframing negative self-talk as viable alternatives of conservative treatment.
I strongly adhere to the belief that there is basic goodness in everyone, that we are all doing the best we can, and that no one is broken, even though it may feel like it at times. I often encourage my clients to consider that, when they are willing to do the healing work it takes to get better, then their wounds can ultimately be experienced as precious scars as in Kintsugi or kintsukuroi: the Japanese art of filling in the cracks of broken pottery with gold.
