HEALING THE MIND

Counseling

Mental illnesses are far more prevalent in our population than our perception permits.  The longstanding stereotypes surrounding chronically, and persistently mentally ill individuals and the stigma associated with attending therapy have been a barrier to the successful identification, treatment, and management of most mental illnesses. Therapy can be an effective means of identifying and treating commonly occurring mental illnesses and the disruptive nature of their symptoms-specifically to our emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. A skillful clinician can help guide you through understanding the possible root causes, both psychological and functional, of your symptoms. They can help you identify your specific mental health condition and where you lie on the continuum of severity. They will work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that incorporates conventional treatments (such as therapy and medication, when appropriate) with evidenced-based complementary and alternative approaches.

Through therapy, individuals can learn coping mechanisms and strategies for managing their symptoms, improving their overall quality of life. They can also gain a better understanding of themselves and their emotional needs, leading to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. Therapy can be particularly effective for those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health conditions.

It’s important to note that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. A wholistic approach may include a combination of individual and group therapy, as well as alternative approaches such as art therapy, yoga, or meditation. By working collaboratively with a therapist, individuals can feel empowered to take an active role in their mental health and well-being.

Wellness

Wellness is an active pursuit of an optimal state of physical and emotional well-being. It involves intentional choices and actions that prioritize health and well-being. This holistic and preventative approach to wellness recognizes that health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. This means that wellness extends beyond physical health to include mental, environmental, spiritual, and social dimensions. Each of these dimensions is interconnected and plays a role in supporting overall health and well-being.

The preventative nature of wellness involves being proactive in maintaining good health and preventing illness. This means being aware of potential health risks and taking steps to prevent them. The holistic nature of wellness recognizes that all aspects of our lives are interconnected and impact our overall health and well-being. This includes our physical health, mental health, relationships, environment, and spiritual well-being. In addressing all dimensions of wellness, we can support optimal health and well-being in all areas of our lives.

Wellness is an ongoing process that requires intention, effort, and commitment. It involves making choices and taking actions that prioritize health and well-being. This may include seeking out support from mental health professionals, participating in regular physical activity, or cultivating a daily mindfulness practice. By prioritizing wellness in our daily lives, we can experience greater happiness, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose.
