What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is an individualized, holistic approach to counseling that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools of thought with interventions chosen based on each client's unique needs. Integrative therapy is sometimes referred to as holistic therapy because it takes into consideration a person's mental, physical, and emotional wellness.

Integrative counseling can be used to treat a wide range of psychological concerns, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, grief, low self-esteem, self-harm, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, among others.

At Integrative Wellness Counseling, the relationship between therapist and client is viewed as a partnership. We will work together to understand the sources of anxiety, unhappiness, physical discomfort, or unhealthy behavior patterns that are negatively impacting your life. You can expect to feel seen, heard, understood, and validated every step of the way. Interventions will be chosen based on your specific strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences and will always be selected from scientifically supported, evidence-based approaches to therapy. Ideas and techniques are often integrated from:

• IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapies
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Mindfulness
• Humanistic Therapy
• Somatic Experiencing
