Safe natural therapy to heal illness and improve well-being
Mental health Therapy teaches coping skills that give you strength in facing life’s challenges. When you’re healthy holistically—both body and mind–relationships tend to be stronger and more fulfilling and you’re able to better manage stress.
Knowing when to ask for help is essential. If you’re experiencing low energy, mood swings, appetite changes, feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, shifting sleep patterns, thoughts of harming yourself or others, or any other worrisome symptoms, please call for an appointment.

Commonly used approaches to therapy include mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and person-centered therapy. Because no two people are the same, a proficient therapist often integrates several orientations to facilitate successful therapy sessions.

“Pretty dramatic title,” I thought, “especially for usually staid, Guardian newspaper.” But the writer had been collecting data from UK doctors, interviewing patients, and clearly was shocked at what she had found. Not only were individual women describing their personal experiences with serious bouts of depression, anxiety, panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, but also “brain […]
In middle age, men will begin very slowly to notice a group of symptoms attributable to the decline of their male hormone testosterone. The medical term for this is “andropause” sometimes called “male menopause.” I see billboards along the expressways referred to “low T.” Here’s andropause: a loss of your sex drive (libido); erectile dysfunction; […]
COVID-19 is certainly still with us. Last week, the U.S. death toll crossed the one million mark. Suburban Evanston returned to the high-risk zone for COVID transmission, yet much of Illinois, especially downstate, remains woefully unvaccinated (only 37% are VAXed and boosted). I receive at least three or four emails a day, variations on “flu-like […]
The opinions on abortion are mine and not necessarily those of the staff at WholeHealth Chicago.
