Our Bodies are Naturally Wired for Healing
Jen Briar-Bonpane, LCSW, CINHC, FNLP
It’s not all in your head. There is so much more to improving your mental health than just talk therapy and prescription drugs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of talk therapy. I have been working as a mental health clinician for over 20 years and have seen it transform lives (including my own!) But, from a functional health perspective, if we aren’t addressing the root causes for your mental health symptoms, we can talk until we are blue in the face and you may still feel depressed, anxious, etc.
I regularly see clients who have worked so hard to make changes through therapy and books and medications but are still feeling held back by anxiety and depression. It breaks my heart when I sit with clients who feel like they are failing… they blame themselves for not working hard enough or “getting it together.” The truth is, they may be working too hard. They are swimming upstream against a current that isn’t stopping. I offer online holistic psychotherapy and functional nutrition and health coaching to help people to look upstream at what is going on in their unique body so that they can thrive.
You deserve to feel good and live the life you envision for yourself. I help people tune into their bodies and remove barriers to mental and physical wellness.
We can work together to identify and resolve underlying causes for your symptoms including:
Nutrient deficiencies
Blood sugar
Gut health
Inflammation
Chronic disease
Food sensitivities
Auto-immunity
Trauma
Sleep issues
Hormones
Mindset
I believe our bodies are wired for healing. When we remove the stuff that’s in the way, our bodies can do amazing things. I work over the phone with people all over the world. We can work together wherever you are.
