Anyone know anything about Psychology & Holistic Health?!


Question:

Anyone know anything about Psychology & Holistic Health?

I'm an undergrad psychology major and health & human wellness minor, and I'm planning to become a psychologist specializing in behavioral abnormalities, but I'm also really interested in holistic health. Are there many occupations or work environments that integrate the two things? Any useful information?


Answers:

Hi,

My name is Regina and I also majored in psychology and then went on to receive my Holistic Health Counselor certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I also will be going back for my PhD in Clinical psychology, most likely in the fall of 2009 or 2010.

I lead a yahoo group and study group through the Alumni Association of the Institute for Integrative nutrition, and I can tell you there are many of us interested in expanding upon this field and building it to become more mainstream with additional professional opportunities. Right now, however, the opportunities available are independently made.

I am also founding a school that will begin taking students in the Fall of 2008. This school, The Institute for Integrative Mental Health will be educating both mental health professionals and holistic health counselors to work in this field. As a graduate, you would automatically be included in the referral network that I am establishing across the country to promote this work.

Advertising for the school, and information open to the public is scheduled to be released at the beginning of October 2007, so you are one of the first to learn of this upcoming opportunity.

If you are interested in possibly enrolling in this program, I HIGHLY recommend you contact me ASAP and look into the current professional training program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition for this year as a prerequisite of my program.

Please contact me with any additional questions, as I have made it my personal mission to promote this integrative field of mental health.

Sincerely,
Regina Bordieri, CHHC
