What is Mind-Body Therapy?

Mind-Body Therapy is an approach to healing and growth that looks at a person as an integrated whole: mind, body, and spirit. In contrast to traditional psychotherapy or talk therapy, which is focused on one’s life history and the workings of one’s mind; the Mind-Body therapist appreciates not only these aspects, but is also interested in the relationship between a person’s mental, physical, and spiritual experiences. This approach is also called Holistic or Integrative. Techniques used in Mind-Body Therapy include mindfulness, yoga therapy, hypnosis, meditation, nutritional and wellness counseling, guided imagery, EMDR, neurofeedback, and biofeedback among others. Stephen incorporates a variety of these tools to customize and individualize his approach to working with each of his clients.

Stephen’s approach to therapy is truly integrative because it incorporates the mind, body, and spirit. The following are examples of Mind-Body Therapies:
