WHAT IS HOLISTIC THERAPY? In short,  holistic therapy  breaks away from the notion that people are broken, empty vessels that need to be filled. It does not concentrate on your flaws, but rather recognizes and honors you for the unique, independent and whole being that you are. In being the kind of person you are meant to be, sometimes you can get stuck. You feel like everywhere you turn, there’s a barrier in your way, and you just don’t know how to move forward. And this can manifest in many different parts of your life: love and relationships, work and professional life, habits and lifestyle, and much more. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/holistic-therapy

They can also help people work through other mental health issues that have developed while coping with high levels of stress over a period of time.

Some kids pass through adolescence swiftly, with little turmoil. For others, puberty detonates like a time bomb; once it goes off, nothing is the same.

NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION (NVC), AN INTRODUCTION By Ashley Gregory, LMFT PERSONAL BEGINNINGS My initial reaction to learning Nonviolent Communication (NVC) was piercing skepticism.  Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life  by Marshall B. Rosenberg was required reading for a service learning internship during my early college years. It took considerable effort to overcome my resistance to opening the blue book with an image of the Earth surrounded by the petals of a yellow daisy on the cover. I finally cracked the book open as I considered how important it was for me to keep up with my job expectations. One of the first lines from the book that I noticed was: “Through its emphasis on deep listening — to ourselves as well as others — NVC fosters respect, attentiveness, and empathy, and engenders a mutual desire to give from the heart” (p.4). As NVC began to resonate with me, I also soon discovered that putting it into practice was considerably more challenging than reading

THE WAY WE DO THERAPY Traditional talk therapy often misses a huge part of the human experience. When we ONLY talk about our struggles, like having panic attacks, trouble sleeping and work-related stress, we miss out on important opportunities for lasting growth and change. Holistic therapy offers a well-rounded and complete approach to healing and personal growth. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or just having difficulty managing the day-to-day, holistic therapy can help by incorporating a deeper understanding on a mind, body and spirit level. Somatic therapy specifically focuses on the body in therapy. While our bodies hold so much wisdom and information, we find that it is often ignored and overlooked in therapy. Our somatic therapists have extensive training and specialize in incorporating body-centered and mindfulness-based approaches to help you manage your very real and physical symptoms. Educating yourself about your therapy options is a

FOUR PRACTICES FOR SHARING YOUR “SHELTER” By Ashley Gregory, LMFT As many have pointed out recently, “social distancing” does not have to mean keeping ourselves emotionally isolated. The precautions we are being asked to take are more accurately described as “physical distancing.” In fact, emotional connection may be incredibly powerful in getting us all through the uncertainties we face. It is true that the “shelter in place” guidelines mean less opportunities to be physically close with people outside of our household. Yet, perhaps in some ways, we may be open to building deeper intimacy with one another. On a walk recently, my partner and I passed by a home that had a sizable front yard with two dogs running around in it. Two women sat on the porch, noticed us, and began a conversation. We introduced ourselves and were delighted to be able to say we are neighbors. Throughout our encounter, we learned that the grandmother was initially visiting for a short time, but plans
