What is different about holistic therapy?
Emotional issues are rooted in our bodies as well as our minds. Each person’s character structure has developed to maintain a level of emotional repression that has been comfortable, even though it can restrict energy levels and happiness. There is a time and a place for holding back ones energy. However, because our vital energy is identical to our sexual energy, constrained energy always, in some way, interferes with full sexual functioning.
Comparing Services
| Individual therapy treats a person’s own psychological functioning and provides the best opportunity for dealing with character and emotional armoring. |
| Sex therapy includes knowledge about sexual functioning, anatomy, expectations, etc., often with homework assignments to try new behaviors. |
| Couples’ therapy focuses on communication, power-sharing, perhaps affairs, money, in-law, or parenting issues. |
| I also provide Child Psychology for children's behavioral issues, especially regarding pelvic or sexual concerns. |
Services:
I don’t prescribe medication. However, I coordinate treatment with psychiatrists or other physicians who prescribe antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications. I provide equal access to treatment for people of all persuasions, orientations, and ethnic identities. I work with personality disorders if the person is cooperative with treatment. I don’t treat major mental illnesses, multiple personalities, groups, or provide court-mandated therapy or other coerced treatment.
