Kickstart mental wellness with holistic therapy in Austin.

Our holistic, mindful, and somatic approach to therapy is different from the conventional mental healthcare model. We throw away labels and diagnoses and instead get to know you and what you are experiencing. Our team of mindfulness-based therapists and coaches considers the influence of life and family experiences, biology, spiritual and individual uniqueness on mental health challenges such as:

  • Anxiety, panic, overwhelm, stress

  • Depression, fatigue, social withdrawal

  • Excessive rumination

  • Emotional, mood swings

  • PTSD, developmental trauma, complex post traumatic stress disorder

All of our trauma-informed and compassionate therapists have extensive training in mindfulness, polyvagal theory, attachment theory and self-compassion. They create a judgment-free zone so the therapeutic relationship can be a safe and empathetic place. Creating safety aids in exploring how past and present experiences may be creating hardship in the here-and-now.

Our services are centered around a holistic approach to mental wellness – we see you as a whole person with unique contexts. You are more than a diagnosis!

Holistic therapy at Flourish in Austin brings mindfulness, somatic, attachment, and polyvagal therapy models into our work with you. This approach prioritizes your current symptoms and nervous system states to empower you with education and tools. Bringing in nervous systems states early in the therapeutic relationship can be helpful for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck or have experienced recent or past trauma(s).

 

Treatment Resistant Depression

If you have been labeled ‘treatment resistant’ then you may want to explore Integrative nutrition for mental health services. Most folks diagnosed with treatment resistant depression have not explored root causes with their prescriber. It is not the patients fault. Nearly all prescribers in-network with insurance do not investigate root cause. They are not trained on nutrition or the gut-brain connection. They are not paid to spend more than 10-minutes with you. Tests looking for toxins or food sensitivities are not covered under insurance.

On the other hand, taking time to investigate possible root causes of depression can bring different results. Most people experience decreased symptoms within the first two weeks. Spending time and money with a trained professional to investigate root cause can be worth the expense. The expense might seem high when starting. But you will not need life long consultations and expensive medications.

We work with you to assess and individualize your treatment protocols. These protocols prioritize food changes, body movement, sleep hygiene and play time. They also include a few high-quality, bioavailable nutraceuticals to support internal repair. For example, targeting repair of the gut-brain connection can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. You will soon be able to throw away the ‘treatment resistant’ label!

And if you are open to exploring psychedelics for mental wellness, we can help with that too.
