What is holistic therapy?

Holistic therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on a person’s natural healing capacities, honoring the “whole” person and integrating spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. The goal of holistic therapy is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of their own “inner healer,” finding a more accessible balance within their own systems. It integrates evidence-based treatment, creativity, and a holistic, trauma-informed framework and is often tailored to a person’s unique needs.
