Holistic Psychotherapy
Telehealth for Women in Georgia
Let's take a step back to see the whole picture
You're more than one problem, one pattern, or one part of your story
You can spend years trying to understand yourself. You can recognize your patterns, understand where they came from, and know what you want to do differently.
But you're not just a collection of thoughts to change, symptoms to manage, or past experiences to work through.
You're a whole person, shaped by your experiences, relationships, beliefs, physical well-being, and the life you're navigating right now.
At Heaven to Earth, I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Rather than looking at one struggle in isolation, we consider how different parts of your experience connect. Connecting those dots and understanding the connections can help guide our work together.
Sometimes, what you're experiencing makes more sense when we can zoom out and look at the entire picture.
There's more to your story than what's bringing you to therapy
Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, but the anxiety doesn't exist in a vacuum.
It may be connected to years of feeling responsible for everyone around you. To beliefs about what it means to be successful or good enough. To relationships in which you've learned to put your own needs last. To a season of life that has left you questioning who you are outside the roles you've always filled.
Or perhaps several things are happening at once, and you're not sure where one ends and another begins.
We don't have to assume there's one explanation for everything. Instead, we can explore the different influences shaping your experience, identify what feels most important to address, and determine what kind of therapeutic work makes sense for you.
Holistic psychotherapy gives us a wider lens through which to understand you — not just the problem you're trying to solve.
Four dimensions - one whole person
Your thoughts, physical experiences, sense of meaning, and surrounding environment don't operate independently. They influence one another in ways that can shape how you feel, how you respond to stress, and how you move through everyday life.
I think about holistic psychotherapy through four interconnected dimensions: soul, body, spirit, and environment.
The Soul
Your beliefs, experiences, and the meaning you make of them.
The way you see yourself and the world has been shaped by what you've experienced and learned along the way. We may explore the expectations you carry, the beliefs that influence your decisions, the roles you've learned to fulfill, and the experiences that continue to shape how you navigate life.
The Body
Your physical well-being and emotional experience.
Your physical and emotional experiences influence one another. Stress can affect how you feel physically, while sleep, physical discomfort, and other bodily factors can influence your emotional well-being. Considering this connection helps us develop a fuller understanding of your experience and recognize when body-centered therapeutic approaches may be useful.
The Spirit
Your values, meaning, and sense of self.
It's easy to become so focused on what needs to be done that you lose touch with what matters to you. This dimension makes room for questions about purpose, personal values, beliefs, connection, and the kind of life you want to create. Spirituality can be part of this exploration if it's meaningful to you, but no particular spiritual or religious belief is required.
The Environment
Your relationships, responsibilities, and everyday life.
You don't live in a vacuum, and neither do your struggles. Family dynamics, work demands, relationships, cultural expectations, daily routines, and major life transitions can all influence your well-being.
Sometimes the work involves changing how you respond to your circumstances. Sometimes it involves recognizing that your circumstances themselves need attention. These four dimensions aren't separate treatments or a checklist you'll need to complete. They're different perspectives that help us understand the bigger picture and focus on what matters most to you.
How does this shape our work together?
Holistic psychotherapy isn't a specific technique or a predetermined sequence of exercises. It's the perspective that guides how I understand your experience and decide where to focus our work.
We begin with what's happening in your life, what you've been struggling with, and what you'd like to be different. From there, we explore the factors that may be contributing to your difficulties and consider the approaches best suited to your needs.
For one woman, that might mean examining deeply ingrained beliefs about achievement and self-worth. For another, it might mean addressing the impact of distressing experiences. For someone else, it could involve recognizing how relationships, life transitions, or ongoing demands are affecting her well-being.
The point isn't to address every dimension in every session. It's to understand how the pieces fit together so we can focus on what matters most. My approach is individualized, collaborative, and grounded in clinical psychotherapy. We don't need to force your experience into a single explanation or choose a method before we understand what you're looking for.
Explore possible methods
Holistic psychotherapy describes the broader perspective behind my work. The specific methods we use depend on your experiences, goals, and needs.
Somatic Therapy
Our physical and emotional experiences are connected. Somatic therapy brings attention to the body's role in your experience, helping you become more aware of physical responses and explore new ways of responding to stress and emotion.
EMDR Therapy
Past experiences can continue to influence how you feel about yourself and respond to situations in the present. EMDR is a structured therapeutic approach that can help process distressing memories and the beliefs and reactions associated with them.
You don't need to determine which method is right for you. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy and explore the options together.
Who is a good fit?
Holistic psychotherapy tends to resonate with women who are curious about the connection between their mental, emotional, and physical experiences — and who want to be more active in the process of their own healing.
You may be someone who:
- Likes to experience things for yourself. You're less interested in being told what something means and more interested in noticing what happens when you try something.
- Wants practical tools, not just conversation. You appreciate having something you can practice between sessions and use in your everyday life.
- Is comfortable being curious. You may already be aware of shifts in your mood, energy, physical sensations, or environment and want to become more intentional about working with them.
- Wants a more personalized approach. Rather than following a predetermined protocol, we can work with what is present for you in the moment — whether that's an emotion, thought, physical sensation, pain, or something else.
- Enjoys learning how things work. Part of the process is learning how to use the techniques yourself, so you understand not only what we're doing, but how to continue exploring it on your own.
You also don't have to be particularly aware of your body to benefit from this work. You don't need to be able to immediately identify where you feel an emotion or tell whether you're experiencing an energetic shift. We start where you are.
