Courage to be our Whole Selves

Mindfulness, Somatic Practice and Parts Work

Embracing a holistic approach to therapy

Embrace Healing Through Mindfulness, Somatic-Informed Practices, and Parts Work

At Whole Self Counseling, we offer a unique and integrative approach to healing, drawing on the transformative power of Mindfulness, and informed by the ideas within Somatic Experiencing, and Parts Work. Our therapeutic practices are rooted in a commitment to helping you navigate life's challenges with resilience, self-awareness, and a renewed sense of balance.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Cultivating Presence and Awareness

This incorporates mindfulness practices that include present-moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises. Using these tools, you can learn to be in the here and now as well as break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a decline into a mood-disordered state; this therapy can help a person fight off a difficult frame of mind before it takes hold.

Somatic Informed Practices: Honoring the Wisdom of the Body

We take a holistic approach to healing. This body-oriented approach recognizes the profound connection between the mind and body. By exploring and releasing stored tension and trauma, somatic-informed practices promote healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of safety within your own body. These skills and techniques help clients reconnect to a felt sense of trust within themselves.

Parts Informed Work: Integrating the Many Aspects of Self

Parts Work acknowledges that we consist of various internal "parts.” These may be our protector, our younger self, or a part that experiences hurt, disappointment, and anger. Some parts we’re aware of and some have been quietly (or not so quietly) working in the background of our mind. This approach encourages compassionate exploration and integration of these aspects. By understanding and embracing different facets of yourself, you can foster inner harmony and navigate life's challenges more effectively.

What to Expect in a Session

In our therapy sessions, we create a safe and collaborative space for exploration and healing. Whether you're new to therapy or seeking a fresh approach, our skilled therapists guide you through practices rooted in mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and parts work. Sessions may include mindful breathing exercises, body-awareness techniques, and gentle exploration of inner aspects to promote holistic well-being.
