What is Holistic Psychology?

When you look Holistically at the mind and body- you can see they are an integrated, inherently whole and intelligent system designed to find its way to equilibrium. When we are out of balance, our suffering is expressed in undifferentiated form- in both the mind and body, and our symptoms are the clues. Intimately connected, the mind affects the body, but the body also affects the mind.

While working with emotions and their contributing factors is crucial, sometimes our biology can get in the way of our psychology. A holistic approach means looking at how our whole selves are functioning- thoughts and emotions, nutrition, exercise, and metabolic health- to optimize mental wellness.

Together, we go beyond symptom management to healing.
