Integrative Therapy

Every person has their own unique experiences, the way in which they interact with others, and perspective on life. Therefore, therapy should reflect the uniqueness of the individual/couple/family and be tailored to their needs. Integrative therapy provides the client access to a variety of different models and methods that best suits the context of issues presented to the therapist. The effectiveness of therapy relies on the collaboration between the client and their therapist.

Although you sometimes feel disconnected from yourself, you were born to be connected. The problem is that some parts of you have fallen out of integration. I was trained by the co-creators of an integrative assessment and treatment model called the Expressive Therapies Continuum, which helps me guide helping professionals to connect with all aspects of their physical, emotional, and intellectual selves. See www.meganvanmeter.com to learn how I can help you create integration in your life!

I use a variety of theoretical orientations and treatment modalities in my work with clients. Each person and situation is unique, and I believe that an integrative approach is most effective in working with a diverse group of humans.

Therapy is based on each individual client and their specific needs. Having an understanding and being able to use multiple forms of therapy in different ways in important when being able to adjust for each individual client.

Integrative therapy allows me to pull from different modalities to ensure the best fit tailored to each clients unique needs.

I believe therapy should be integrative and catered to your specific needs. I use a variety of therapeutic theories and techniques dependent on your individual goals and needs.

Integrative therapy allows me to learn about you and your specific needs, personality, preferences, motivation and beliefs to match different evidence based treatments to fit you and best help you. For instance, in one session we could start with some mindfulness meditation to get centered, move to CBT to explore thought patterns and how these patterns affect your behaviors and possibly glide into family systems therapy to improve communication and well being in yourself and your family.

I practice from a holistic, integrative (body-mind-spirit) approach that allows all dimensions of your experience to be included in treatment. My approach empowers you to tap into all of your resources and connect with your full potential.

I draw from multiple modalities, theories, and techniques in working with my clients. I view it as my role to flex to fit my clients, rather than asking them to fit my approach--while there are theories that I am drawn towards, I work to incorporate feedback from clients to help shape my approach.

As a therapist I knew that Integrative Therapy was what I wanted to provide for clients working with me. Integrative Therapy allows for the combination of different types of therapy modalities. For example, CBT or DBT may work well for one person and not so well for another. I have worked on blending skills for the last 15 years, while providing therapy designed to be person centered and very individualized for each client. By integrating strategies and skills each client gets what they need

At Washington Psychological Wellness, we practice an integrative and holistic approach to healing, considering our clients’ mental, physical, and emotional health and interpersonal and spiritual well-being. We consider each individual as unique and therefore cater treatment to the client. Drawing from various modalities and practices, we can match you with a therapist who will understand your specific issues and tailor your therapy plans according to your needs.

I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a range of therapeutic models to create a personalized treatment plan right for you. Rather than adhering strictly to one method, I use integrative therapy to combine my knowledge and skills from a variety of therapy models that make you most comfortable and confident with your work with me. Integrative therapy helps me make your therapy more effective for you.

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques to address the unique needs of my clients. Integrative therapy involves combining different therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan. I have a commitment to working collaboratively with clients, and I am flexible and transparent throughout our work together.

Treatment can often aim to see what can be learned and introduced from various perspectives in practice, with this being common with most clients.

I'm a lifelong learner, and well-developed, skillful therapist. In years of graduate and post-graduate education, I've received various levels of training in the following modalities: CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, SE, EMDR, NVC, and IFS. I borrow tools and insights from all these therapies and integrate them for my client's benefit with my primary grounding and advanced training in systems-oriented (SCT) therapy and SAVI, which together offer a broad and deep framework for human challenges and growth.
