Integrative mental health
What is Integrative Mental Health?
Integrative mental health brings together a variety of effective therapeutic modalities to achieve the best possible results for each unique individual seeking wellbeing. By combining various modalities, therapists develop strategies to address each client’s individual needs. This goes beyond the limitations of a strictly bio-medical approach as it does not solely rely on medications to suit every situation. It also is respectful of spiritual issues and needs.
Practitioners are knowledgeable about non-ordinary states of consciousness (NOSC) that may result from near-death experience, transformative visions and dreams, psychedelic or plant-medicines, and psychic experiences, etc. They can offer conceptual frameworks to help orient people who have become disoriented by NOSC and give appropriate support.
Integrative mental health practitioners may suggest practices — such as mindfulness, yoga, and meditation — as well as new approaches like family systems therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Practitioners aim to perceive and help manage both the underlying root cause of an issue and its symptoms.

What do Integrative Mental Health Practitioners Do?
Integrative mental health practitioners address a wide range of emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual issues from both internal and external perspectives.
Integrative Mental Health Practitioners use multiple techniques to create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all aspects of an individual’s mental health. By combining various modalities, therapists can develop unique strategies to address each client’s individual needs.

Promoting good life-style choices around nutrition, sleep, exercise and supportive relationships are always an important part of an integrative approach. Spiritual practices and joining meaningful community may be recommended as well.
Integrative Mental Health Practitioners aim to see and help manage both the underlying root cause of an issue and its symptoms.
They also have the flexibility to modify or add new techniques as needed to optimize mental health support, which can be particularly beneficial for clients who are dealing with complex issues like spiritual emergencies, or those who do not respond well to conventional treatments.

With an Integrative Mental Health approach, clients take a more active role in choosing the strategies they want. This helps foster better client-therapist relationships due to increased empathy and understanding from both parties.
