Our Philosophy
SynerGenius Telepresence is here to help you create happiness and health, and to live in harmony with yourself and those around you.
We specialize in women’s mental health and love to work with anyone, of any gender, who wants to improve their well-being, regardless of the severity of the challenges they face. We approach each person as an individual, not a label.
We believe everyone has a right to good mental health, regardless of resources.
We understand the unique struggles of modern women. We believe women are strong and amazing. However, societal obstacles make overcoming mental health struggles more difficult, so they need support that is tailored to their unique needs.
We are committed to the effective implementation of integrative and mind-body treatments using state-of-the-art telepresence technology.
We believe in whole-person mental health. While genetics and biochemistry certainly play a part in mental illness, they are not the whole story. To get 100% well and stay well, we need to look at your whole lifestyle and incorporate practical, real-world changes. We avoid aiming for perfection, which often leaves many important areas neglected. We know doing “enough” in all the major foundation areas of wellness is the key to a healthy, happy life.
Experience for yourself the power of these proven techniques to help you create the life you want.
What is Integrative Mental Health?
ntegrative Mental Health is mental health care based on the principles of integrative medicine.
Integrative medicine is “healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.” – University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine is a philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative medicine uncritically. Instead, integrative medicine combines the best of both worlds to create true health.
The Defining Principles of Integrative Medicine:
– Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process.
– All factors that influence health, wellness, and disease are taken into consideration, including mind, spirit, and family, community and the environment, as well as the physical body.
– The practitioner makes appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods to facilitate a given person’s own innate healing response.
– Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive are used whenever possible.
– Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
– Good medicine is based in good science; thus, Integrative Medicine is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms.
– Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
– Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit themselves to optimal health, self-exploration and self-development.
At SynerGenius Telepresence, we help you combine both conventional and alternative therapies into a holistic, individualized treatment approach for your unique emotional challenges.
What is Mind-Body Medicine?
According to NCCAM, it is “Techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms.”
James Gordon, the Director for the Center for Mind-Body Medicine says, “Mind-Body Medicine focuses on the interactions between mind and body and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social and spiritual factors can directly affect health.” These are“…scientifically validated techniques that respect and enhance each person’s capacity for self-knowledge and self-care…Mind-body approaches use the conscious mind to directly affect the workings of the brain and the rest of the body.”
This is medicine based in the belief in the power of each person to both know and care for themselves. This is not just stress management. Mind-body approaches utilize the ongoing conversation between your mind and body to build and maintain optimum health.
