Explore Deep Healing and Lasting Change with
Integrative Individual Therapy
"Mental health is rooted in the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and lifestyle. When we nurture all aspects of our being, true healing becomes possible." — Dr. Leslie Korn
Are you ready to conquer anxiety, heal from past wounds, and embrace lasting well-being?
Integrative Individual Therapy combines evidence-based practices like traditional talk therapy with holistic, somatic techniques to address both mind and body. This personalized, trauma-informed approach helps you uncover and release deep-rooted patterns, fostering emotional balance and resilience.
The Science of Integrative Therapy: How It Supports Transformation
Integrative therapy leverages a combination of cognitive, emotional, and somatic practices to create lasting change. Techniques such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and somatic experiencing help uncover and heal the root causes of your distress. By addressing both the emotional and physiological aspects of your experiences, this approach promotes deeper, faster healing.
For clients looking to accelerate their progress, I also offer specialized tools like the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and EMDR Intensives. These interventions target the nervous system and unresolved trauma, helping you break free from long-standing patterns more quickly than traditional weekly therapy.
