Healing the Whole Person: The Power of Integrative Mental Health Care

The Connection Between Mind and Body

Have you ever noticed how stress can lead to headaches, fatigue, or stomach issues? Or how chronic pain or illness can impact your mood, sleep, and relationships? These are just a few examples of the powerful connection between the body and the mind. Conditions like anxiety, depression, IBS, diabetes, or chronic pain often coexist—and influence one another.

At Mindful Reflections Counseling, we recognize these connections and provide care that supports the full spectrum of your health. Led by Dr. Aqsa Salman, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Doctor of Behavioral Health, our team specializes in working with individuals managing both emotional and physical health challenges.

What Is Integrative Mental Health Care?

Integrative mental health care combines traditional talk therapy with lifestyle and behavioral support to address both psychological and physical well-being. At our practice, this includes:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for managing thought patterns and behaviors

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help regulate stress and promote relaxation

• Motivational Interviewing to support positive behavior change

• Guidance on managing symptoms related to chronic illnesses like heart disease, IBS, or diabetes

This holistic approach allows us to tailor your treatment based on your unique needs, goals, and lived experience.

Why This Matters

Many individuals seek therapy for emotional challenges like anxiety or depression, only to discover that underlying physical health issues are playing a major role. Others are coping with chronic illnesses that have taken a toll on their mental health. Our goal is to bridge the gap between mental and physical care so you can experience lasting, meaningful change.

When you work with Mindful Reflections Counseling, you're not just getting support for your symptoms—you’re gaining a team committed to your overall well-being.
