Integrative Health Therapy in Durham & Throughout NC Virtually

Integrative Psychotherapy adopts a holistic approach towards your health and wellbeing. We look at the entire picture of who you are to understand what brings you to seeking support and what helps you thrive. Additionally, it combines both conventional and complementary approaches together to help you achieve a greater sense of wellness.

What is integrative wellness?

“Integrative” can be defined in many different ways. At Project Yes PLLC, we are examining the relationship between many facets of who you are, such as:

  • Your unique lived experience
  • Your physical health
  • Your relationships
  • The environments you are in
  • Your relationship with food
  • How you connect with your body and movement
  • Outlets you have for creativity
  • What ignites your spirit

We also consider what may be helpful in your journey, beyond traditional and individual psychotherapy. Often, traditional medical practices and alternative therapies all work towards a common goal, healing in synergistic ways.

Integrative wellness has been around since ancient times and is commonly found in many worldwide traditions. The integrative perspective was largely disregarded in the Western world until recent decades when people started becoming more aware that wellness cannot be separated from all of who we are in this complex, mind-body-spirit organism.

Now, top of the line medical centers emphasize the mind-body connection, make use of stress reduction approaches from various wisdom traditions, and have started to pay attention to the impact of adverse experiences on our medical and psychological vulnerabilities. In addition, research into alternative and natural remedies began to emerge, finally studying what in other cultures has already been long established as effective.

At Project Yes, we want to know who you are as a whole person, and to help you see yourself in that way too. We will work together using traditional psychotherapy approaches, and offer you a variety of helpful resources to support your well-being, beyond “supportive therapy”. We want to equip you with the tools to take charge of your emotional well-being, now and in the future.
