A Holistic Approach to Healthcare
Challenges, both large and small, are a part of life. No one journeys through life without facing a variety of personal difficulties. There can be comfort, however, in knowing that you do not have to struggle through these times feeling lost and alone. It is not “what” you go through, but rather “how” you go through it that matters the most; therefore, we are here to walk through life’s challenges with you as partners along the way.
Balance, wholeness, and health
These are the core objectives of the services offered to you by Professional Psychology and Consultation, Inc. This is true whether we are working with one individual, a small group, or a family. We have an unwavering belief that body, mind, heart and spirit are intricately interwoven. We believe that wellness is an ongoing process of achieving balance among these four areas.
In addition to physical health, wellness involves emotional stability, mental clarity, a sense of spiritual connectedness, the ability to tap into the inner wisdom and intuition, and the ability to maintain healthy relationships with others.
Our Vision: To help people move toward greater balance.
This vision shapes our mission to provide services that address the mind, body, and spirit to help others achieve balance in all aspects of their lives.
When one experiences a sense of balance, wholeness, and health within themselves and in their relationships, the natural outcome is enhanced creativity, productivity, satisfaction, and dedication to maintaining the well-being of the whole.
Our Perspective is a Holistic One
This means that we respect the inter-relatedness of body, mind, heart, and spirit in bringing about health and wholeness in one’s life. Together, let us explore the many avenues available to find solutions and to establish a strong sense of balance, harmony and meaningfulness in your life.
