Mindful Medicine, PC is committed to individualized treatment. Before we have our first meeting, I will review your history so that I can start to learn about you. When we meet, I will listen carefully, and then offer suggestions that we can explore. Services recommended will vary depending on your interests and needs.
NUTRITION
What we eat is related to our physical and mental health. Together we will find areas of growth which may be a simple as adding some specific foods or as complex as adding supplements.
MOVEMENT
How we move our bodies is related to our physical and mental health. Together we will find areas of growth which may be a simple as finding time to do something that you used to love (like hiking or gardening or dancing), or as complex as connecting with a practitioner of therapeutic movement (such as yoga or Qigong).
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Talk therapy can bring about profound and lasting changes for many people. There are many types of therapies that can be used. The specific type(s) selected will depend on individual interests and needs of the person requesting the therapy.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to naturally heal itself and improve its functioning. During a treatment, hair-thin sterile needles are inserted into specific points of the body. Acupuncture can improve depression and anxiety and ease the cravings of addiction.
BIOFEEDBACK
During a session, heart and respiratory rates can be monitored, and you will be able to view your physiologic responses to specific thoughts in real time. With practice, awareness grows and you learn to guide both your mind and your body into a state of relaxation and ease. This can be very effective in stopping emotional eating, improving athletic performance, and finding freedom from anxiety and low moods.
MEDICATION
Not everyone needs medication, but the right medication(s) can be very helpful and life changing for some people. Medications may need to be adjusted or changed from time to time.
