Integrative Therapy

Integrative therapy is the integration of elements from different schools of psychotherapy in the treatment of a client. An integrative therapist will first assess their client and then match proven treatment techniques to their unique situation. As it is a highly individualized approach, integrative therapy can be used to treat any number of issues, including depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. Research has shown that tailoring therapy to the individual client can enhance treatment effectiveness. Think this approach might be right for you?

I blend methods tailored to your needs. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for changing negative thought patterns, mindfulness techniques to enhance present-moment awareness, and psychodynamic therapy to explore deeper emotional issues. I also incorporate elements of holistic practices like meditation to support your physical and mental well-being. This personalized approach allows us to address your challenges comprehensively, promoting healing and balance.

I take an integrative approach to therapy because I believe that no single method works for everyone. Over time, I’ve developed a way of blending somatic practices, mindfulness, and behavioral strategies to meet each person where they are. My goal is to offer a flexible and personalized approach that supports healing in a way that feels right for you.

— Betsy Bowman, Associate Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, CA

Irivn Yalom, one of the most influential therapists of the past 50-years, advocating that a new therapy is created with each therapy client. No one therapy is right for every client. My integrative approach is rooted in existential-humanistic therapy; however, I draw from various other depth psychologies and solution-focused therapies to adjust my therapy approach to the particular needs of each client.

— Louis Hoffman, Psychologist in Colorado Springs, CO
 

I have found that a multi-pronged approach often works well (e.g. combining DBT skills and insight-oriented work), though choice of techniques will depend on your unique needs.

— Jennie Sharf, Psychologist in New York, NY

Integrative therapy is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different therapeutic methods and theories, tailoring them to meet the unique needs of each individual client. By integrating various techniques, we aim to provide a more comprehensive and flexible treatment. We may incorporate elements from humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and other therapeutic approaches, to address clients' emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns in a holistic manner.

— San Francisco Counseling Collective, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in San Francisco, CA
 

I believe flexibility throughout the therapeutic process is essential. This may require integration of other therapeutic techniques and modalities (within my scope of practice & scope of competence), while incorporating your own interests and evolving needs. This may, at times, include collaboration with other members of your clinical/support team.

— Leslie Aguilar, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Studio City, CA

My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to your needs and preferences. I am grounded in a person-centered approach, embracing your uniqueness and respecting your autonomy. Additionally, I draw from existential, internal family systems (IFS), and psychodynamic approaches to therapy.

— Dominika Bredova, Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY
 

I strongly believe that integrative therapy allows treatment to be more guided toward the individual client. It allows the relationship to be more collaborative and provides the opportunity to make treatment more flexible as goals may change.

The approach I take with each client is unique to that client's needs. My approach is integrative, which means that, in addition to talk therapy, I incorporate education, mindfulness, movement, breathing exercises, art therapy, sexual health information, and EMDR in my sessions where appropriate. This style reflects my authentic personality, and my love of variety and creativity, and I have found over the years that it serves my clients extremely well.

I take an integrative approach to therapy because I believe that no single method works for everyone. Over time, I’ve developed a way of blending somatic practices, mindfulness, and behavioral strategies to meet each person where they are.

— Betsy Bowman, Associate Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles, CA
 

Through my experience with various therapeutic approaches, I specialize in integrative therapy, which allows us to create a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. A one-size-fits-all approach isn’t effective for every challenge you may face. Life is complex, and navigating the emotions and thoughts you experience daily is key to accepting your authentic reality in each moment. This approach empowers you to better understand yourself and overcome obstacles in a meaningful way.

— Jo Seiders, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boise, ID

Not all clients response positively to the same therapeutic modality. I tailor treatment to the needs of the client and work collaboratively with them to ensure they are supported in a way that is consistent with their issues.

— Mackenzie Lambine, Clinical Psychologist in Los Angeles, CA
