Transpersonal Approach to Therapy:​
Our team integrates transpersonal psychology into their therapeutic practice, recognizing that individuals are not solely defined by their personal identities but also by their connection to something greater than themselves. This approach encompasses exploring existential questions, spiritual beliefs, and the quest for meaning and purpose.
Ready4Change Wholistic Wellness supports clients in navigating these profound dimensions of their lives, helping them uncover their authentic selves and align their actions with their core values. The transpersonal approach focuses on deriving meaning from the experiences in life that bring us outside of the mundane. This can be anything from falling in love, taking psychedelics, to grief work. These extraordinary experiences that shake ourselves and how we view the world can offer us the opportunity to reconceptualize life in a new and amazing way. When working through the incredible or overwhelming parts of life, having someone to help navigate can be a game changer.
