Psychotherapy and Biofeedback Services
Nancy McCarel, PhD and her associates are licensed psychologists providing a unique combination of psychotherapy and biofeedback interventions for people seeking to find more peace and balance within themselves. Using a blend of evidence-based psychotherapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, compassion focused therapy, and mindfulness-based methods, we provide clients with a safe space for self-exploration and growth. If indicated, biofeedback and/or neurofeedback methods are customized for the individual clients’ needs and interwoven in the treatment process.
We are fortunate to be a part of The Integrated Healing Center, in which other practitioners offer services that beautifully complement the psychotherapy/biofeedback work we do. Collaboratively, and all under one roof, we provide an entire range of therapeutic interventions that help heal mind, body and spirit.
Our approach is useful for a number of client concerns, including but not limited to:
Anxiety
Depression
Stress-related disorders
Grieving and complicated life transitions
Chronic physical illnesses/pain
Coping with cancer
Addictions (including food addiction/binge eating disorder)
Problems in relationships
Please stay tuned to our Facebook page, where we will be announcing when we will offer these and other classes and groups.
