Wellness Counseling

Vitality Focused Counseling for Families, Individuals and Groups

“I know what to do, I just can’t do it” is a common experience for many health conscious individuals struggling to move towards their health related goals or apply lifestyle changes a healthcare provider had recommended.

Information overload and lack of clarity around what works versus what doesn’t..

When health related changes impact one family member, other members can be strongly committed to offering the best support and yet, despite the good intentions, conflicts related to health habits may cause disconnection and isolation that can lead to more distress and complicated health challenges.

Careful selection, organization and integration of therapeutic modalities depend on each person's needs, capacities and hopes. Modalities include trauma informed somatic interventions, EMDR, ACT, IFS, ERP, mindfulness, accelerated reprocessing protocols for chronic disease and pain distress, MI and solution focused therapy.

The focused counseling experience aims at new levels of real aliveness that chronic symptoms may have disconnected you from and at overcoming barriers to optimal quality of life including:

Biopsychosocial aspects of physical pain

Unhelpful eating habits

Relational challenges that perpetuate isolation and aloneness

Neuroplastic Pain

Complicated relationship with food

Hidden impacts of trauma on physical health and self care

Anxiety around body image

Impact of sociocultural factors

Complicated relationship with the body

Information overload and lack of clarity around what works for you versus what doesn’t

Medical Trauma

Sustaining progress

Personalized new skills for sustainable resilience and self care can be practiced throughout the counseling journey to reinforce helpful habits and maximize chances of sustaining the new lifestyle that supports your health goals.

Therapy intensives with 2-6 days of engagement can be offered to target a specific big challenge. Weekly engagement would be preferred when it's helpful to cultivate outcomes and build sustainability more gradually.
