PSYCHOSOCIAL CONSULTATION
AND THERAPY
We believe that optimal healing occurs when
all aspects of a person are addressed, including
the physical, psychological, and spiritual. These
three aspects work together and influence one
another within each person—helping create
health or illness. Why? The body is not only an
outward representation of our genes, physical
conditioning, nutrition and physical events,
but also emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and
emotional history. By addressing the mind and
spirit in addition to the physical body, medical
psychotherapy can help speed recovery and
adaptation from a medical condition.
