Neuro Wellness Solutions Therapy
A Psychological Telehealth Service
At Neuro Wellness Solutions Therapy (NWST), our practice encourages optimal brain health from a holistic perspective. “Holistic” means to look at the wide variety of elements that influence your thoughts and behaviors. Your brain, on a neurological level, directly affects your physical symptoms and emotional mental health.
Our practice is solution-focused, using evidence-based treatment techniques and interventions, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Our philosophy in therapy is to collaborate with you to help address your goals, symptoms, and move towards the life you want to achieve. At Neuro Wellness Solutions Therapy, our aim is to help you find your path to wellness.
We also specialize in Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD). Individuals with FNSD have higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma than the general population. Addressing these issues alone does not resolve FNSD symptoms for many people. For this reason, we work with you in identifying the root cause of your symptoms using research-based techniques. These techniques may lead to dramatic changes in frequency, intensity, and duration of episodes, and sometimes, full resolution of FNSD symptoms.
Our Practice Includes:
FNSD & PNES
Doctors assure you nothing is medically wrong with you, yet you have symptoms that keep you from doing almost everything - very real symptoms that come on suddenly one day, and quickly start happening all the time.
Symptoms can manifest in many ways including pseudo-seizures, stiffness, weakness, inability to move one or both limbs, blindness, or speech issues.
So the big questions are: why are you having them and how do they stop happening?
If it was simple solution, you would have figured it out on your own. If the answer was the same for everyone, or even most people, your doctors would have told you what it was. Unfortunately, it is different for everyone.
We offer an assessment that will answer those questions so you can get your life back.
ADHD Assessment
& Treatment
We provide child and adult assessment for ADHD that includes a comprehensive interview and looks for alternative explanations to your symptoms as well.
Assessment includes specific treatment recommendations that may improve your symptoms and experience beyond those of just medication options.
If you know you have ADHD and are struggling with symptoms, we can help by providing strategies for your specific issues.
If you have a goal you are struggling to accomplish, we can target that and give you the tools to make progress.
We will also help you leverage your strengths that come with having ADHD.
Trauma
Sometimes the focus is on the beliefs that came out of the trauma, and how your current life is somehow continuing to foster them.
Trauma can make you want to avoid, or just feel numb to the world. It effects relationships, performance at work, and can make us doubt who we are and what our purpose is.
Treatment for trauma can look a lot of different ways. Sometimes the focus is on the here and now- learning how to manage symptoms that are tripping you up today. Giving you control is the key.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Many describe the experience of hypnosis as a pleasant state of deep relaxation, where external stimuli are greatly diminished thus allowing you to suspend your reality so that your imagination opens out, maybe beyond your usual boundaries so that you can focus more deeply on your own helpful internal resources
Hypnosis is something that everyone can learn to do, it’s completely natural and safe. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process in which you allow yourself to follow the guidance of the therapist. The hypnotherapist’s suggestions let you explore and rehearse different feelings, thoughts and behaviors in your imagination in order to help you overcome your current challenges in real life.
There is substantial research that demonstrates how Clinical Hypnotherapy has been shown to be highly effective in treating and managing a variety of issues, often with less time, as compared to other types of treatment interventions/methods. Percentages of effectiveness range from 87-93% in treating stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD type behaviors, FNSD, chronic pain, weight loss and addictions, just to name a few.
NWST has providers who have been certified with specialized training in clinical hypnotherapy rooted in Transpersonal, Ericksonian, and Medical methodologies.
Anxiety
& Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are a treatable psychological condition. With appropriate treatment, persons experiencing panic attacks can experience full resolution of their symptoms.
Treatment, for either or both, is multifaceted. Part of it is about learning how your brain works.
We focus on education and provide tools to help you control your experience.
Another part of treatment is learning how to decrease your overall stress and anxiety level.
Depression
The things we crave are activities that make us more depressed, or just don’t make us feel any better- like binge watching TV or other temporary escapes.
There are many ways to address it.
For most people, treatment includes a combination of interventions such as: recognizing current and past hurt/disappointment and learning how to manage it, changing thoughts, creating new routines that foster self-confidence/self-worth/self-esteem, increasing support, help to stop doing habits that foster depression.
