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 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. This includes techniques to help a person become more familiar and comfortable with emotions, thoughts, moods, intuitions, physical and physiological responses, and techniques to support each experience.
