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.
