What is Holistic Psychotherapy?

Holistic psychotherapy offered at Village Wellness is designed to be a brief intervention for adults whose sense of health and wellness feels unbalanced. This may be due to life changes, a recent health concern or a new/revitalized commitment to wellness. As a client, you will be regularly reminded that:

• You are not broken, despite how very real that may feel at times.

• You are so much more than a condition, disease or diagnosis.

• Every aspect of your being plays a role in how you are feeling, and every aspect is worthy of care.

• You are a beautifully unique individual.

Referrals are available for individuals seeking treatment for mental illness and substance use disorders.

What does Holistic Psychotherapy treat?

Holistic psychotherapy is ideal for anyone seeking support for issues related to relationships, parenting, and stress management. It is emerging as a leading modality for healing and is offered at some of the world’s leading medical centers including the Cleveland Clinic.

Holistic psychotherapy is appropriate for adults. Children 12 and under are best served by therapists trained in modalities such as play therapy. For more information, contact the Family & Play Therapy Center.

How is Holistic Psychotherapy different?

• Holistic Psychotherapy leverages the innate strengths and gifts that each client has to support health and wellness rather than focusing on deficiencies and pathology.

• It is centered on the premise that healing and sustainable wellness are nurtured through regular and sustained connectedness to our physical, mental, energetic and spiritual selves.

• Practitioners view clients as individuals whose diverse ways of being in the world - the intensity of emotions; expressions of sadness, anger and fear; relationships to trauma - are unique pieces of their wholeness, not broken or faulty parts.

• Holistic psychotherapy is based on the notion that we are not simply emotional beings - we are physical, mental, energetic and spiritual beings whose experiences in these realms are interdependent.

Why I Do Not Take Insurance

I am happy to provide official documentation for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, and/or supporting documentation for Medical/Flexible/Healthcare Spending Accounts. I do not take insurance, however. Why?

In-network insurance reimbursement requires me to work within a medical model of illness and diagnose my patients with a specific “disorder” as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This label becomes a permanent, and not necessarily confidential, part of client medical records. Insurance companies decide which treatment is needed for each “disorder”—what kind of therapy, how much, how often—regardless of what my client and I might agree is best given their specific set of circumstances.

I could not be the therapist that I am today—with the time and flexibility to work with my clients in holistic ways—if I were to rely on insurance reimbursement for my psychotherapy services.

I recognize that this reality may place a financial burden on my clients and, therefore, I am able to offer a sliding scale to a limited number of clients so I may continue to provide exceptional care in a highly personalized setting that honors the uniqueness of each client. 

I do offer a financial support and hardship program, to assist those for whom the fee would be prohibitive. This can be explored as an option during the initial phone call.

Kendra Prescott is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a decade of experience empowering individuals and groups from a person-centered, strength-based and solution-focused approach.

She frequently partners with the healing ability of nature, both flora and fauna. As a lifelong horse person knowing first-hand the healing power of horses, it is through the specialization of equine-assisted therapy, and her work as Research Assistant at Cornell U. studying the effects of welfare reform on rural-low income families, that brought her to seek her graduate degree in counseling from the University of Pennsylvania.

Her work is trauma-informed with great emphasis on the wisdom held within each one of us. Always striving to bring the most effective healing techniques to people through best practices, she recently completed training as a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapist and looks forward to bringing this transformational work to Village Wellness.
