What is Integrative Psychotherapy?

Integrative Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that embraces a multi-disciplinary, holistic, tailored approach that specifically caters to the needs of the individual. At its core, integrative psychotherapy begins with the subjective inquiry into one’s own lived world as the basis of understanding how to begin addressing the concerns one is facing. 

Intending to hold each individual and their presenting concerns as unique and specific, an integrative approach entails crafting a bespoke treatment, collaboratively and relationally with the client.

This is done by crafting a course of care based on the most relevant psychotherapeutic models for treatment, as well as incorporating fields and disciplines beyond psychology and psychotherapy.

At Turning Ground, our integrative psychotherapy training is informed by best-practice psychotherapy techniques and skills, as well as deep ecology, philosophy, systems theory, poetry and literature, the arts, social theory, and a plethora of other fields. Holding a wider frame of the individual beyond solely psychological materialism is essential, for it provides a truly nuanced and complex snapshot of each individual’s unique world. 

Perhaps most importantly, our approach to integrative psychotherapy places the relationship between client and therapist at the forefront. It is our belief that through the processes of deep listening, interpersonal reflection, and the formation of a strong working relationship, the journey toward healing (that is, making-whole) can begin to occur.
