Holistic Therapist Offers Adolescent-focused Therapy

Oregon holistic health and wellness coach focuses on adolescents

Gresham, USA – March 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Oregon-based Integrative Life, Health, and Wellness Coach Carol Landesman is currently offering adolescent therapies designed to meet the needs of young people in Sandy, Trout, Gresham, Boring, Portland and surrounding areas. Dr. Landesman has extensive experience in adolescent therapies after working as a clinical psychologist for over thirty-five years. She has extensive training in holistic therapy, and has previously worked as a chief psychologist and the director of an outpatient eating disorder treatment program. Carol has since turned her focus to adolescent treatment, assisting the young men and women who have been “labeled or diagnosed,” and who have been prescribed medications.

Dr. Landesman assists adolescents and their guardians understand the underlying causes that have caused them to be labeled or diagnosed. While many are told to take antidepressants or are labeled ADHD by physicians who insist on medications, Dr. Landesman explores healthier alternatives, and seeks to find the root of the issues which she says are often normal reactions to “stressful, emotionally painful situations or life events that are beyond coping skills of that individual.”

Carol’s approach to adolescent issues is to help the person learn to identify the underlying causes, address them in a healthy manner, and build self-esteem in the process. They will be educated on coping skills and how to build and use them effectively, which also helps in prevention. Carol uses her holistic approach to help the whole person, rather than simply attaching a diagnostic label. She provides a home-based, comfortable setting in a non-clinical environment where adolescents can feel at ease. Animal loving-teens can invite Carol’s pets into their session to help them feel more comfortable and less stressed

Carol offers free, 30-minute phone and Skype consultations so teens can get a feel for her and decide if they want to move forward with her holistic approach that doesn’t include labels or a “diagnosis”. She states that “labels or diagnoses are never helpful in any attempt to understand and alleviate human suffering.” Instead, she focuses her training and therapy on the “whole” of the person, rather than just the issue. By addressing the entire person, underlying causes can be identified and addressed, which helps the person overcome specific issues, and aids in the prevention of those specific issues causing problems in the future.
