You know you\u2019re struggling to find balance and meaning in your life, yet you\u2019re unsure how to talk through everything without feeling like you\u2019re complaining or ungrateful.<\/p>
Whenever humans have had trouble expressing themselves, they\u2019ve turned to their bodies. Whether it was yoga for mindfulness and meditation, or reiki to focus on how energy moves through your body, people have used their bodies to explore how they are feeling.<\/p>
In a fast-paced, modern culture it can feel difficult to slow down and connect with the messages your body is giving you.<\/p>
Body Focused Therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy as it grants insight into how stress and anxiety manifests in you physically. It allows you to connect to how pain is being carried physically, even when you may not recognize it.<\/strong><\/p> Using your body as an extension of your voice helps you identify clues to your suffering that you wouldn\u2019t otherwise notice if you weren\u2019t attuned to how your mind and body speak.<\/p> There are Movement Therapy professionals who use dance, reiki, yoga, meditation, and other physical activities to help you become more aware of yourself and begin to honor your truth.

Together, you and your therapist will strive to reduce your stress, manage your mood, and increase your self-esteem. You will recognize movement as a type of language and use it as an expressive and a tool for communicating.You and your therapist will meet together weekly for 55-minute sessions. Therapy is best done with at least an 8-week commitment. We find that clients who cannot commit to at least 8 weekly sessions and meet less than weekly tend to have more difficulty in establishing a relationship with their therapist and often spend their sessions recapping the previous weeks instead of focusing on forward movement. After 8 weekly sessions, you and your therapist can discuss the movement toward your treatment goals and whether reducing sessions to biweekly or terminating therapy is the next step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t During this initial session, you will meet with your therapist to define the counseling relationship and discuss the details of informed consent. Your therapist will gather information about you and your biological, psychological, and social history and how this is impacting your current situation. You will also discuss the goals you have going forward together.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Together, in each subsequent session, you and your counselor will use evidenced-based therapies to help you gain more confidence.<\/p> Each session is designed to help you discover the relationship between your body and your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, you and your counselor will use dance and movement to unlock any life experiences that have become trapped in your body for greater healing and to help you move forward in life.<\/p> Therapists at Urban Wellness focus on providing a safe space for you to process and discuss whatever it is that is keeping you stuck. With their help, you can work to reduce your stress and make progress toward your goals in a healthier way.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t In your final sessions, you will review your goals to ensure you are satisfied with your counseling experience and that the work with your therapist has met your expectations. You will also outline a plan going forward so that you are able to retain what you and your counselor have worked on together and implement all you have learned outside of session.<\/p><\/div> vinar dapibus leo.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Counseling is a fee for service program and Urban Wellness accepts all major forms of \u0003payment.<\/p> Initial sessions cost $195 and each follow-up session costs $170 and we recommend at least an 8-week commitment.<\/b><\/p> Urban Wellness accepts insurance and offer in network and out of network benefits. \u0003We accept BCBS PPO, Humana, and United Healthcare insurances, at their contracted \u0003rates.
