Holistic psychotherapy, refers to a school of thought in therapy that attempts to address an individual as a whole person. Holistic therapy attempts to address the individual in terms of their mind, spirit, and body. Embracing a holistic view of human psychology allows us to take a look at how all areas of your life are connected. The goal of a holistic approach is to balance all the different aspects of the person, so the entire person is addressed in treatment and not just one aspect of the person.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and re-framing beliefs and thoughts that lead to negative emotions and behaviors. CBT treats problems and boosts happiness by modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. CBT focuses on solutions, encouraging patients to challenge distorted cognitions and change destructive patterns of behavior. CBT is appropriate for people of all ages. Evidence has mounted that CBT can benefit numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and many others.
Mindfulness is the non-judgmental awareness of what is happening in the present. Most of us are operating on auto-pilot, rushing through our days stuck in behavioral patterns motivated by unconscious, self-limiting thoughts. Mindfulness allows us to reclaim and experience the fullness of our lives in the present. Mindfulness techniques include the practice of movement, compassion training, meditation, and breathing exercises. Mind-body medicine uses the power of thoughts and emotions to influence physical health.

Hypnotherapy is an intervention that is used to create positive change in thoughts and actions at a subconscious level. Hypnosis allows us to enter the theta brainwave state which occurs during sleep but also during deep relaxation. Theta is the gateway to learning, memory, intuition & the subconscious. Hypnotherapy has been around for centuries, now there’s decades of research highlighting the benefits.
Hypnotherapy is a process, which creates a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This non-ordinary state of consciousness, which is a different state from normal waking consciousness, allows a client to respond to suggestions with higher than normal receptivity. The therapy uses guided relaxation techniques that invoke feelings of intense relaxation, concentration, and/or focus to achieve a heightened state of awareness or trance-like state. Hypnosis is interactive and involves verbal and non-verbal communications between client and hypnotherapist.
Most therapeutic work is greatly enhanced while clients are in a hypnotic state because they are able to access information, healing, creativity, and insight that is not normally available when in the waking conscious state. These hypnotic state also become vehicles through which we can re-create our realities. Hypnotherapy is used to help clients relax, send positive messages of love and healing to their bodies, to increase self-esteem, self-awareness, self-confidence, positive habits, to decrease anxiety, worry, bad habits, negative thinking, fear based thinking, and much more.
