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?

I use several different approaches in therapy but they all have one thing in common, they are holistic. This is important in order to experience growth and healing in the mind, emotions and body. Therapy approaches that only focus on part of the person, will only experience part of the healing. I believe it is important to address the entire person because our mind, emotions and body are all connected.
— Julie Holburn, Counselor in Boulder, COA holistic approach to psychotherapy integrates a full-spectrum view of the human experience, including mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual perspectives on your experiences. When we work together, I will help you to orient to your body, heart, mind, and essential nature, in order to cultivate trust in your own inherent capabilities and wisdom.
— Rachel Fernbach, Therapist in Brooklyn, NYI am a trauma-informed counselor employing a biopsychosocial approach. Further, My approach is ecological and holistic, meaning I work with the whole system even as we focus on a goal. We are all vastly complex. We are also very embedded with patterns, some useful and others not as much. Counseling is a perfect place to explore our complexity and patterns and to choose how to cultivate ongoing meaning and authentic expression in a non-judgmental environment.

— Elise Zimmerman, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Saint Paul, MNA 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.
— Shavonne James, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Long Beach, CAWashington Psychological Wellness is proud to provide an integrative & holistic approach to treatment. Holistic mental health emphasizes the entire person (bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model) and not just on their symptoms or presenting problems. It reaffirms the importance of the relationship between clinician and client, is informed by scientific evidence, and uses all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.
— Washington Psychological Wellness, Mental Health Practitioner in Gaithersburg, MDI find the holistic approach complimentary in working with life transitions which can be a change in the body, mind, or spirit. My education and experience in hospice and palliative care and specializing with adults and aging have lead me to assess and treat people with a biopsychosocial and spiritual model taking into consideration the entire human being and their life experiences that will guide discovery, transformation and the willingness to thrive.
— Tanya Carreon, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado Springs, COI 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.
— Natasha Jeswani, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Jose, CAYour body, mind, and self (or consciousness, soul or spirit) are all a part of being human living on this Earth. Each of these aspects has information for you. Often we can become experts at listening to one aspect more than the others. Psychotherapy is a chance to pay attention to what else is happening for you, learn new ways to support all of you, listen to your own wisdom and the wisdom of the world around you, and follow the inner healer within you.
— Sarah Peace, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Los Angeles, CAIt is important that we look at you as a whole person as we address your needs in counseling since there may be other factors that contribute to your mental health needs. This may include addressing your mental health, physical health, spiritual health, relationship/social health, career health, and anything else that may play a contributing role in your holistic wellness.
— Karilyn (Kay) Bela, Counselor in Lancaster, PAI believe that the most effective healing looks at the whole person, where they're coming from, and uses many tools from the tool box. In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I can incorporate energy healing such as Reiki or shamanic energy medicine. I also believe many other forms of self-care, physical therapies, or forms of alternative medicine can support a person as well.
— Michelle Halpin, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Rochester, NYMental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. All parts of who you are as a person can affect (and be affected by) your mental state. I encourage people to examine what they notice in their mind, heart, body, and all different aspects of their life. This allows us to feel more whole as human beings, and can improve our relationships with all different pieces of our lives.
