Why Holistic Psychotherapy Is More Efficient & Effective Than Traditional Talk Therapy

Fewer sessions. Less money spent. Less time invested. Why choose the other option?

Holistic Psychotherapy is more efficient and effective than traditional talk therapy for many reasons. As mentioned in my other blog post as to why I changed my practice years ago to be more Holistic, I apply a comprehensive approach to healing and well-being. I look at my client as a whole- examining them Psychologically, Neurologically, and Biologically. And I focus on the root cause of my client's most complex issues which results in clients needing fewer sessions in order to feel better and change their lives.

That's the key I want to point out - clients need fewer sessions through Holistic Psychotherapy. I do not drag sessions on and I terminate the relationship when progress has been made or the client has achieved their goal(s). Many therapists require clients to meet with them weekly or bi-weekly, and most of the time clients run out of topics to discuss. This waters down the efficacy of Psychotherapy. Clients can meet when they want, as often as they want, and can discuss whatever they want but I always link it back to the root cause of their issues. This focus allows us to work together easily to identify and treat the underlying causes of distress, rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

I also personalize each session to every individual's unique needs, experiences, and belief systems. This means, one client may require cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices while another client may need body-centered approaches or dialectal-behavioral tools. I practice many more therapeutic approaches in addition to discussing the gut-brain connection and utilizing neuropsychological techniques. By making use of a diverse range of modalities, I offer a more comprehensive and versatile toolkit to solve different aspects of my client's issues and improve their overall well-being.


Holistic Psychotherapy produces longer-lasting results than traditional therapy. Traditional Talk Therapy can be very surface based. In my practice, along with focusing on the root cause and evaluating individuals as a whole, clients are empowered to take an active role in their healing process. Through this process, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their patterns, and their strengths, which can lead to more sustainable and longer-lasting personal growth.


It's important to note that the effectiveness of therapy can vary for each individual, and what works for one person may not work for another. Both Holistic Psychotherapy and Traditional Talk Therapy have their merits, but I find that my clients greatly appreciate investing less time and money to heal their issues through my Holistic Psychotherapy practice.
