Individual Therapy
Be guided through the blocks that keep you from the life and health you want. Together, we will find the most comfortable and empowering therapeutic approaches to strengthening your relationship with self and resolving the issues, conflicts or disturbing emotions you may be experiencing. Therapeutic approaches that can be employed include Somatic Psychotherapy, Breathwork, Nutritional guidance and micro-nutrition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Sensorimotor Trauma Recovery, Guided Imagery, Regressive Therapy, Communication Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Focusing Therapy and Lifestyle Medicine. By balancing the brain (body chemistry) and the mind (thoughts & emotions) in a natural way you can be supported in the resolution of psychological discomfort and central nervous system disorders such as anxiety disorders, depression, adult ADHD and bi-polar disorder. If you already have psychopharmaceuticals in your body, I work collaboratively with a psychiatrist trained in balancing nutriceuticals and detoxification.
Relationship Therapy
All relationships, be they with a significant other or spouse, between parent/child, employee/employer, siblings, friends, and whether traditional or non-traditional, deepen with the exploration and resolution of difficulties.
Relationship counseling provides each participant with an experienced, empathic ear to help you both move beyond the blocks to connection and to mediate conflicts to create win-win situations, as well as to introduce effective communication skills and relationship building techniques.
I strongly believe that if you are experiencing difficulty in any relationship there are many gifts waiting for you by learning how to share and hear each others heart.
Therapeutic approaches include Imago Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Relationship Therapeutic Process.
Mind-Body Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine
If you are challenged with a chronic or critical illness, or are interested in prevention or improving your health, exploring your relationship with and to your body is paramount. Your willingness to take the steps towards health and healing can be strengthened by releasing blocked emotions and changing any inner beliefs and dialogues that may be consciously or unconsciously working to your detriment. As in any relationship, uncovering the truth and experiencing compassionate understanding leads to both peace and healing.
Integrative Psychotherapy offers a path into your internal environment to create both the flow and the calm needed for healing both your body and your mind. Mind-Body Medicine provides techniques tailored for your specific needs along with nutritional guidance and breathwork. Lifestyle Medicine provides behavior modification protocols scientifically proven to aid in healing. Integrating both eastern and western medicine philosophies, it supports you in getting in touch with your “inner doctor” and developing a supportive relationship with your body.
Create both an internal and external healing environment to live a healthy and vibrant life. Carole works collaboratively with your health care team.
Breath Therapy
Breath therapy enables you to enter into very deep states of consciousness. “Gentle Breathwork” emphasizes keeping you grounded during the process so that all of your experiences become fully integrated rather than returning to the unconscious. Breath therapy enables you to uncover unconscious memories and experiences that could take years to connect to in traditional talk therapy. Unlike EMDR and hypnosis, breath therapy goes deeper, reaching the physical and spiritual states as well as the mental and emotional states. Breath Therapy is profound work and can be integrated into and support your therapy goals.
Past-Life Regression
Past life regression is a technique used to bring unconscious material to the surface. It is used in a similar way to dream work. Because it is done as part of the therapeutic experience the material is often more visceral and vivid. It is an optional part of your therapeutic experience. A belief that we actually experience past lives is not required.
