What is Holistic Counseling?

Holistic counseling is an integrative approach to psychotherapy that treats the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Holistic therapy goes beyond putting a Band-Aid on your symptoms and strives to create long-term healing and wellness by addressing the root cause of your challenges, by using alternative healing modalities.

 

Life can be beautiful, and tough. When you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious, it can be hard to know where to turn for help. If you're considering therapy and wanting to learn more about holistic counseling and how it can help, you're in the right place.

 

There are many benefits to holistic counseling. This type of therapy can help you to:

  • Heal childhood wounds
  • Reduce stress
  • Live a life of meaning and purpose rather than just getting by
  • Build healthy and deeply fulfilling relationships
  • Feel more balanced, authentic, and empowered
  • Truly love yourself and your life

If you're looking for an approach to therapy that will help you heal on a deep level and create lasting change in your life, holistic therapy can help. 

 

How does holistic counseling differ from traditional therapy methods?

Traditional talk therapy tends to focus heavily on the past and treat symptoms, not always getting to the root cause of your suffering. Here at Haven House of Healing, LLC we incorporate the latest advances and wisdom including eastern spiritual traditions such as mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, reiki and yoga.

We work with you to uncover and dismantle the root causes of your symptoms so that you can experience true and lasting change in your life, and experience more love, fulfillment, and joy. This approach has a transformative effect on the mind-body-spirit connection and can help you heal on an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual level.

 

ONLINE COUNSELING

Online Counseling at Haven House of Healing LLC is provided either by phone or via Zoom.  Essentially Online Counseling is talk therapy using an online medium.  It is very safe, secure and convenient.

Initially we recommend meeting over the phone or via Zoom to consult for a FREE 20min Consultation with one of our counselors. This is a time that we learn about your most significant struggles and together determine whether Online Counselling is appropriate for you.  If together we decide to proceed, you and your counselor will schedule time to meet via Zoom.  

Just as if you were meeting face-to-face, your first session will be an intake session and will run for 90 minutes, and your subsequent appointments will be standard sessions and will run for 60 minutes. 

 

At Haven House of Healing LLC, we take your wellbeing very seriously.  We will ask that you provide details of:

  • Your GP or any medical practitioners / specialists that you are consulting

  • A person you could reach out to, if you needed to be with someone

 

Generally we do not recommend Online Counseling for those that are:

  • Unstable or psychologically unwell or at risk to themselves or others

     

What do I need to do for Online Counseling?

Counseling is very personal work.  Before each session we recommend that you take time to prepare yourself and your space accordingly.  Shut the doors, turn off the phone, get yourself a glass of water, and maybe even light a candle, that you then blow out once the session is complete. To make the most of the session, be ready to commence 5 minutes before your appointed time.

 

Zoom is very convenient and easy to access, but it is important that you ensure you are in a space that is:

  • Private

  • Distraction or disturbance free

  • Comfortable - don’t forget the water & tissues

 

You will need:

  • A computer with a camera

  • Earbuds or headset with a microphone (not essential, but recommended)

  • Strong internet access

At the time of your session:

  • Locate your session link in your appointment confirmation email

  • Click on the link & the session will commence
