A GoodTherapy.org News Summary
Depression impacts virtually every social demographic, and seniors are certainly no exception. For most people, mood is a strong indicator of depression, and treatment starts with therapy or counseling before adding medication and other supplemental approaches.

Of course, within this definition, many different theoretical and applied approaches to psychotherapy have been developed... Read More

Holistic psychotherapists use techniques from many disciplines, not just psychology, to mobilize people’s innate abilities to heal themselves.
Conceptually, what differentiates holistic psychotherapy from other schools of thought is its inclusiveness. A holistically oriented therapist assumes the body, mind, and spirit are interrelated. Consciously and unconsciously, they choreograph an ever-changing dance resulting in inner consonance or dissonance. Because a holistic psychotherapist has so many tools at her disposal, she...
