What is mind-body coaching?
Mind-body coaching, or holistic psychotherapy, utilizes traditional methods of psychotherapy along with non-traditional therapies of holistic healing to create a fuller integration between the mind, body and spirit and facilitate the deepest level of healing possible for the client.
 
At INSIGHT, Zivia Bairey, LISW-S, ACHT, ATR-BC, a holistic psychotherapist, specializes in the emotional treatment of physical illness (mind-body coaching), emotional issues, family dynamics, stage of life issues, work-related issues, sexual abuse, trauma, addiction (substances, food and unwanted behaviors) stress and anxiety.
 
Clients can be treated for different types of depression, anxiety, PTSD, Adjustment Disorders and ADD/ADHD. Holistic psychotherapy does not take the place of traditional medicine but it does work in conjunction with it to help the healing process. Holistic psychotherapy primarily looks at specific areas of the body from an emotional, spiritual and energetic perspective and is designed to help heal the origin of the disease.

Who can benefit from holistic psychotherapy mind-body coaching?
Each client responds differently to holistic psychotherapy. It is recommended that clients attend sessions with an open mind to receive the full benefits of this process. Clients currently prescribed psychotropic medications for mental health or who are under psychiatric treatment may still benefit from holistic psychotherapy. Clients who present with active psychotic processes or that pose a danger to themselves or others will be referred to an appropriate facility until they are more able to benefit from this process.

Non-traditional therapies tap into various levels of mind-body-spirit healing. They have a strong spiritual component, incorporating elements of transpersonal, Gestalt, Freudian and Jungian psychologies as well as energy work described in a variety of traditions of healing. These include:
  • Hypnosis is a treatment intervention that induces the client into a relaxed state, or trance. Once the client is in a trance, the clinician provides suggestion for relief from symptoms. A trance is a naturally occurring state, so anyone can be hypnotized. Only a light to medium state of hypnotic trance is necessary for effective therapy.
  • Heart-centered hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy in which the client is placed in a hypnotic, altered state of consciousness for the purpose of reworking or reframing unhealthy behaviors. This process can allow for deep healing to take place because of the energetic or emotional release and the level of insight that can be attained. Hypnotherapy session: Usually 75- minutes. Cost: $150
  • Creative art therapy utilizes drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and other forms of visual art expression. The client does not need to be artistically gifted to benefit from creative art therapy as it generally focuses on the symbolic meaning of the images, colors and the creative process.
  • Breath therapy is a natural healing method that uses high-vibrational energy to reduce stored emotions and past trauma that may contribute to disease. This type of therapy allows the client to utilize breathing as a way to heal and restore the body, mind and spirit. Usually 75- minutes. Cost: $150
  • Rebirthing is based on the belief that trauma suffered during birth has a deep effect on the psyche and can shape perception and experience in life. This form of conscious connected breathing can help release negative emotions and beliefs that may create toxic patterns in the body. Usually 75- minutes. Cost: $150
  • Guided imagery is widely used to create tangible changes in a client’s overall health by actively creating images of well-being. It can help the client reduce the effects of certain medical and emotional conditions. Integrated in many sessions.
  • Energy work: Clients benefit from increasing their awareness about how energy runs in and outside their body. Clients learn about energy systems and how they correlate with developmental, emotional and physical issues they wish to work on. Clients also learn how to utilize their energy more effectively.

About the Director of ADHD Insights
 
Michelle Martin, ED.S., is the Founder and Director of INSIGHT Learning & Wellness Center. A licensed school psychologist of 20 years, she specializes in the evaluation and treatment of learning, developmental, emotional and attention disorders. She is also a Therapeutic Martial Arts Instructor.
 
In her private psychology practice, Martin has seen firsthand the rise in ADHD. “When I started working in school psychology in the 80s, the incidence was so much less, and the diagnosis and treatment were much simpler. Children now present with not just attention issues but significant levels of anxiety/depression and medical problems including allergies, and immune or gastro issues," Martin said. 

In the 1980’s, Martin studied and presented at conferences on the effects of hidden food sensitivities/allergies and toxins on mood and behavior.  "I was a naturalist, resisting medication in general. Although I witnessed the immediate increased time on task or lessening of hyperactivity that are sometimes evident with medication, I also observed the numerous negative side effects and it is a band-aid," said Martin.
 
"I maintain that we simply cannot medicate individuals for ADHD while continuing to feed them in a way that literally starves them of vital nutrients and exposing them to toxic chemicals," Martin said.  "We, as a society, in order to survive, have to examine why this incredible childhood epidemic of ADHD, as well as autism and allergies is consuming us, identify causes and make appropriate changes to prevent them.”
