Welcome to Healing Perspectives Counseling
A Holistic Approach to Mental Wellness
Traditional Therapy Approaches
Grounded in Science, Tailored to You
Our licensed therapists use proven therapeutic modalities to help you understand your challenges
and develop strategies for lasting change.
Non-Traditional Approaches
Nurturing the Whole You
In addition to traditional therapy, we also embrace non-traditional healing methods that honor the
mind-body connection. These approaches aim to foster a deeper sense of balance, self-
awareness, and holistic healing.
Alternatives to Traditional Therapy
The Cortina Method (TCM) for trauma resolution
TCM is a brain-based healing methodology rooted in the latest neuroscience.
HeartMath Coherence Techniques
HeartMath techniques help to bring the mind, emotions, and physical body into a
more balanced and peaceful state
Empowering You to Live Your Best Life

Perspectives Counseling, we believe that mental wellness is a journey, and there is no one-size-
fits-all solution. Whether you are seeking support through evidence-based therapy or exploring
holistic, non-traditional methods, we are here to guide you on your path to emotional well-being
and resilience.
