Holistic Psychotherapy*
Holistic Psychotherapy seeks to increase an individual's sense of holistic well being. It is not a traditional therapeutic nor medical treatment for the improvement of mental illness. Nor should it take the place of traditional treatment for those disorders. There is no diagnosis nor treatment of disease for the individual in this type of treatment. The therapist is merely a facilitator or helper to the client's own self actualized, self-development.
Body, mind, and spirit are recognized as being integral to the individual's concept of self. The whole spectrum of human development is integrated in this technique. It allows the client's whole self to emerge during sessions. The client is free to examine all aspects of his or her life. Conclusions are drawn and practices are put in place based on what the client agrees to be important or germane to his or her holistic well being.
Holistic Alternative Counseling
Holistic Alternative Counseling is a comprehensive approach that integrates multiple dimensions of a client's well-being — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This method emphasizes the interconnectedness of different aspects of human experience and the importance of treating the whole person rather than focusing solely on specific symptoms or behaviors.
A variety of alternative and complementary techniques and modalities are employed while keeping a person-centered focus. The goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the unique needs and circumstances of each client. This approach is grounded in the belief that achieving balance and harmony across all areas of life is crucial for overall health and well-being. Holistic Alternative Counseling aims to empower individuals to discover and utilize their own innate healing capabilities, fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional resilience.
Creative and Expressive Arts Therapies
Every act is an act of creation. If we start with this premise, what follows logically is that all individuals have creative potential. It may however, only manifest itself in some individuals. Therefore, that capability of creative thought and originality, that is present in all of us, often must be cultivated in order to blossom.
Some individuals may feel they need assistance with bringing their "inward" work to the surface. Others may find they need assistance in discovering a creative outlet altogether. Still, others may want to explore different creative expressions. Finally, there are those individuals who find the very process of artistic creativity to be cathartic.
Creative and Expressive Arts Therapies provides the client with the ability to harness his or her creativity. That harnessing of creativity is allowed to unfold in a safe and non-judgmental way. Whether the medium is literary, performing, or arts and design; the client is guided through the process of learning to think broadly and to problem solve.
The client can discover who he or she most deeply is and what his or her life is trying to become. Thus, as the client works through this creative process; he or she can achieve his or her goals both in art and by extension in life.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a healing method that employs the use of hypnosis. Through the use of this technique the client is guided by the therapist to place himself or herself in an altered state of consciousness. Though the client is always in control, this allows the client to place his or her mind into a peaceful and restful state.
While in this peaceful and restful state, the client can access the powerful subconscious mind. Each client can then utilize the subconscious to search for the answers he or she may be seeking. It can also provide the client with the opportunity to incorporate powerful new thoughts and ideas that facilitate change.
Hypnotherapy can be a very powerful tool. It can assist in a number of areas, whether that be to enhance creativity, provide personal enrichment, or that very basic, but often elusive, search for the connectedness and beauty in all life.
Magical Arts Therapy
Magical Arts Therapy is an advanced alternative therapeutic approach that integrates the profound realms of symbolism and archetypes with the tangible realities of the external and psychological worlds. This unique approach leverages the transformative power of inner magic to facilitate deep psychological and spiritual evolution.
By utilizing symbols and archetypes from diverse mythologies, fairy tales, and personal dreams, clients access deeper layers of the unconscious mind, facilitating transformative insights and personal growth. Personalized rituals and ceremonies, rooted in the client’s cultural and spiritual background, mark significant milestones and transitions, enriching the therapeutic journey. Engaging with the natural world and its elements (earth, air, fire, water) grounds the therapeutic process and draws inspiration from nature's inherent wisdom
This process emphasizes creating and maintaining a sacred space, allowing clients to express themselves authentically and explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. Viewing the process as a form of alchemy, Magical Arts Therapy transforms psychological and emotional states into more evolved and integrated forms. By fostering communication with dreams and symbols, it uncovers new perspectives and creates a dialog with consciousness, enabling the psycho-spiritual evolutionary potential of a lifetime.
Dance and Movement Therapy
Dance and Movement Therapy is a holistic, alternative approach that utilizes the expressive nature of movement to enhance emotional, cognitive, physical, and social well-being. Rooted in the belief that the body and mind are interconnected, it encourages clients to explore their emotions and experiences through dance and movement. This form of integrative healing work allows clients to express themselves non-verbally, accessing deeper layers of their psyche and fostering holistic healing.
The practice of Dance and Movement involves guided movement sessions where individuals are encouraged to listen to their bodies and move in ways that feel natural and expressive. Therapists may use structured activities, improvisation, and creative movement to help clients explore and articulate their feelings. By engaging in these physical activities, clients can release stored tension, gain insight into their emotional states, and develop a greater sense of body awareness and self-acceptance.
Dance and Movement Therapy is effective for a wide range of concerns and complications . It promotes emotional regulation, reduces stress, and enhances mood by facilitating the release of endorphins and fostering a sense of connection and community. Overall, it provides a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their inner worlds, build resilience, and achieve a greater sense of balance and well-being.
Ayurvedic Holistic Health Care
Considered by many to be the oldest of the holistic healing sciences, Ayurveda first developed in India more than 3,000 years ago. More than a system of healing illnesses, Ayurveda is considered the 'Science of Life'. The word 'Ayurveda' actually means 'ayur'-life and 'veda'-science or knowledge.
The two main guiding principles of Ayurveda are that the mind and body are inextricably connected and nothing has more power to heal and transform the body than the mind itself. Freedom from illness, therefore depends upon expanding one's own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body.
Ayurveda is built upon three distinct foundational pillars that form the basis of every treatment, lifestyle modification, and herbal curation. According to Ayurvedic medicine, health and wellness depend on the delicate balance between body, mind and spirit. To this end, Ayurvedic physicians and practitioners integrate various behaviors which bring into balance the building blocks of all matter in order to create health and total well-being which is universally interconnected.
Naturopathic Holistic Health Care
Naturopathy finds its routes in many centuries old treatments. It is a combined form of holistic, complementary, and integrative treatments. Its goal is to treat the entire person, body, mind and spirit. To that end, it aims to heal the root cause of an individual's illness, not just his or her symptoms. The use of natural modalities is always emphasized. Education and empowerment are as much a part of treatment as prevention is here. 'Illness' is understood within the context of an individual's entire life.
Naturopathic Medicine is, in fact, an evidence-based system of wellness imparting treatments with natural elements based on the theories of energy, vitality, nutrition, toxicity and the self-healing capacity of the body, as well as the principles of healthy living and empirical methodology. It can, and is often, used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments to support the body's healing processes.
Past Life Regression
Past Life Regression is another technique that utilizes hypnosis. In actuality it is a journey through the use of meditation; wherein the client discovers or rediscovers his or her past lives. The hypnotherapist in this instance is merely the facilitator or supporter for this experience. It is completely in the control of the client as to what he or she experiences.
Many clients seek to gain more insight into their present experiences by looking back into their past. It can be a very vivid and realistic experience for many. Any combination of memory, imagination, or spiritual awakening may be experienced. It is not necessary to completely experience a past life in each session for healing or personal growth to occur. It can still provide insight, increased awareness, and a deeper understanding of the nature of Self.
