Holistic and Alternative Therapies
What are holistic and alternative therapy approaches?
Holistic and alternative therapy approaches are a range of healing practices that prioritize the integration of mind, body, and spirit–such as meditation, yoga, and energy healing. These therapies differ from traditional therapy methods as they consider the individual as a whole and address the root causes of physical or emotional imbalances. Seeking alternative and holistic therapies offers a personalized approach to your well-being. With your therapist, you will explore methods that align with your values and beliefs, fostering a sense of empowerment in their health journey. We will work with you to address your specific health and wellness goals, ensuring a tailored and informed approach with your entire well-being at the forefront.

Somatic experiencing therapy:
Understanding your body's reaction to trauma plays a key role in integrating and healing from traumatic experiences. Somatic Experiencing therapy is the practice in which individuals learn to communicate using "sensation language" or a mind-body approach to access the brain's involuntary functioning to heal trauma. This alternative therapy approach guides individuals in expanding awareness through sensation rather than thoughts. With the belief that trauma and stress get “trapped” inside the body, this method works to release these sensations for better comfort. Your therapist will guide you through a framework to understand and recognize the sensations within your body with guided questions, imagery, observing behavioral responses, and forming meaning to your body’s reaction to your trauma and chronic pain. Your therapist will put your comfort at the forefront by ensuring tools with your increased sense of awareness to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed throughout the process. Somatic Experiencing therapy offers a pathway to profound healing, self-discovery, and a renewed sense of well-being.
