Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with a variety of psychological and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.

Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, depression, anxiety, grief or addiction. There are several different types of psychotherapy and some types may work better with certain problems or issues. At Open-Minded Therapy, LCSW, PLLC, we use a combination of psychotherapy and integrated health to increase stabilization and balance in our client’s life.

Whole Person Psychotherapy & Wellness Model™

At Open-Minded Therapy, we are committed to helping you feel better—not just emotionally, but physically and mentally as a whole. We understand that your mental health, physical health, and life experiences are deeply connected. That’s why we use our Whole Person Psychotherapy & Wellness Model integrates psychotherapy with holistic wellness practices to support mind–body healing.

This model is at the heart of our integrated care approach, where licensed therapists, nurse practitioners, and other professionals collaborate to provide coordinated, personalized support. Unlike traditional care models where mental and physical health are treated separately, the Whole Person Psychotherapy & Wellness Model℠ ensures that every aspect of your well-being is considered together. Your therapist and medical provider share relevant insights, align on your treatment goals, and communicate regularly so you receive truly comprehensive care.

Why Integrated Care Matters

  • Whole-Person Approach: We treat you as a complete individual, not just a set of symptoms. Mental, physical, and emotional health are all part of your healing journey.
  • Improved Outcomes: Research shows that integrated care leads to better results—faster recovery, fewer relapses, and improved quality of life.
  • Early Intervention: Our team can identify and address physical symptoms tied to mental health challenges (and vice versa) before they escalate.
  • Seamless Communication: Your care is streamlined. You won’t need to repeat your story at every visit—our team stays informed and aligned on your progress.
  • Less Stigma, More Support: Normalizing mental health care alongside physical health helps reduce stigma and encourages more people to seek the support they need.
  • Convenience and Continuity: Having a unified care team under one roof makes it easier to access the right support without navigating a complex system of disconnected providers.
  • Better Care for Complex Conditions: If you’re managing chronic illness, trauma, or co-occurring disorders, integrated care offers the comprehensive support you need to thrive.

When you join our practice, you’ll have the opportunity to work with both a therapist and a nurse practitioner as part of your wellness journey. This dual approach allows us to fully understand your needs, build a care plan tailored just for you, and adjust it as you grow.
