Holistic, energetic, and spiritual therapies

One benefit to my longevity in private practice has been in witnessing how psychology has changed and grown since my graduate school training. As human beings, we have many things that make us unique. Therefore, having more than one modality is essential to create a custom fit for each client that I work with. Brain-based therapy is finally getting the recognition it has deserved. It is proven that it can immediately address and heal issues that take years to address in talk-therapy or can not be accessed in conventional ways. I list some of the areas here that I consider complimentary to talk-therapy and what constitutes my reputation as being a thorough and ‘out of the box’ therapist.

Holistic, Energy, and Spiritual therapies

Psych-K

This holds the premise that 95-98 % of of our processing is stored in our subconscious mind. Our mind has no concept of time yet everything from the point of conception to present time is stored there. We will use tools to help communicate with your subconscious mind and identify what goals need to be worked on and in what order, for your highest good. You will then use techniques that will transcend the goal by creating a whole-brain state (left and right hemisphere) to bring immediate resolution The results are immediate, verifiable and long-lasting.

EFT-is often thought of as psychological acupressure. This energy psychology technique works by releasing and reducing emotional blocks in our energy system.

TFT -is another meridian tapping tool. It involves a short tapping sequence in the form of a healing code to help the body and emotional system balance for the client.

The main advantage of these techniques is in empowering clients to learn self-help tools they can use anytime they need.

Emotion Code

We all have trapped emotional energy and baggage. The Emotion Code developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson- a renowned holistic physician helps quickly clear and release hidden trapped emotions. We will use Applied Kineosiolgy, and tap into the inner workings of the subconscious mind and clear energy blocks easily and effectively.

Imagery is used to create images in the mind of the client.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP incorporates teaahing a client many helpful skills that are useful in their personal development, professional excellence and to reframe unhealthy thought patterns. Whenn you invest in yourself, change unuseful** ways of thinking not only will your internal world change but it will reflect the increasing rate of change in the external world.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

We all have a desperate need to be seen and validated by others.

TA was developed by Eric Berne and since updated. It is based on the three ego states within each human being that are rooted in our past.

TA therapy helps clients understand and balance the three ego states. Unhealthy coping skills and agreements regarding childhood scripts are examined and if necessary transformed.

Inner Child Work

I have used Inner Child therapy in my practice for years. I continue to witness many clients heal from feelings of loneliness, toxic shame and fear by using this work. It is important for clients to recognize that there is nothing inherently wrong with your being-it is your relationship with yourself and the past that is unhealthy. That relationship was formed in early childhood and can be changed. Start to live your life on purpose and ‘thrive’

Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy-(DNMS)

Children have needs at each stage of their development on an emotional, social, intellectual, and physical level. When these needs are met then children do well and thrive however, when they are not met children will suffer. The degree of what needs did not get adequately met will be the degree of which a part of one self can become stuck or blocked in childhood. This being stuck means that your beliefs, emotions and behaviors connected to unresolved wounds from your past can get triggered today. I have found that it works as a wonderful compliment with EMDR and at times Hypnosis.
