Greetings Fellow Healer!
 | | The Healer's Life! Yoga & Psychotherapy Dr.Elisabeth Crim & Moonstone Center |
Integrative Health, Integrative Mental Health, Integrative Medicine.
These are the emerging terms and phrases in our health care and mental health culture. Exciting times. The zeitgeist is integration. Integration of Mind and Body and Spirit. Integration of Eastern and Western approaches to health. And as I like to say when teaching, consulting, and as we practice at Moonstone Center, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, and relationally.
The last few months have been filled with a focus on integrative experiences personally and professionally on many fronts and in many settings. Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, the Contemporary Institute of Integrative Studies ( CIIS): Yoga and Psyche Conference, my Restoring the Healer Consultation Group co-led by Simone Marke't, Certified Yoga Therapist with me, a Licensed Psychologist. And, most recently, presenting at the International Association of Yoga Therapists ( IAYT) annual conference: Symposium on Yoga Therapy and Research ( SYTAR)! I presented on creating virtual integrative treatment centers attending to mind-body-spirit treatment through a committed, collaborative treatment team of independent treatment professionals from both Complementary Alternative Therapies (Eastern) and Conventional (Western)Therapies. This is Moonstone Center's model of integrative holistic treatment.
Research is supporting the role of yoga therapy and its 8 limbs of practice (including breathe, chanting, postures, meditation, mindfulness) as well as its sister science of Ayurvedic Medicine. I met many amazing professional yoga therapists and other conventional health care providers who are applying yogic principles and practices to the various issues that are attended to in health and mental health treatment. Please checkout my video to meet some of them. And to hear from Moonstone Center's very own Certified Yoga Therapist, Simone Marke't!
As I have been busy meeting, networking, and treatment teaming through conferences, networking meetings and outpatient, residential, partial, and inpatient psychiatric treatment facilities that integrate yoga and/or acupuncture into their treatment protocol, I have meet some amazing folks.
And I am receiving increasing numbers of referrals for psychotherapy or professional consultation focused on mind and body and spirituality.
I will focus on acupuncture with psychotherapy in a future issue of the newsletter and further explore and address exciting collaborative integrative team approach that Moonstone Center offers.
My invitation to you this month is to attend a yoga class, meet with a yoga therapist or yoga teacher and explore how yoga can complement your traditional health care and mental health care treatment. See how you can apply a yoga practice to your own mind-body-spirit self care. Check out IAYT's International Journal Of Yoga Therapy and Member Magazine, Yoga Therapy Today. Yoga as therapy can deepen your work with your patients and your experience of your own sense of self.
Thank you for journeying with me through the The Healer's Life!,  ,  ,  various Professional ListServs and out in the community when I speak, write, or network.
Until next month,
Peace, Gratitude, and Namaste! (The Light in me honors the Light in you!)
Elisabeth and the Moonstone Center Team

Therapist-Centered Clinical Consultation
Experiencing challenges in building or maintaining your practice?
Feeling isolated from other therapists?
Struggling with certain patients who may have attachment or personality disorders?
Interested in integrating the Physical and Spiritual within your Psychotherapy Practice?
Aware of your own Counter-Transference with certain patients and needing a place for expert help in attending to it,
Desiring to utilizing your patient's transference and your own counter-transference for positive treatment outcomes?
If you answered Yes! to any of these, you may want to consider the Power of Consultation for support, clinical case exploration, transference/counter-transference issues, mind-body-spirit-relational psychotherapy and your own process and planning in your professional life journey!
I approach each professional with whom I consult from an inter-subjective approach, honoring both of our sets of knowledge, experience, and passion. I offer consultation within a context of safety and compassion toward self with a healthy dose of humor where possible! We are merely human beings who happen to be healers of other human beings on this journey called Life! I offer a space to safely explore what being a therapist, or other type of healing professional means to you and how to better assure you are going forward safely (emotionally, mentally, relationally, and yes spiritually and physically) for yourself and for those you are treating. I do this from a clinical perspective that is grounded in an inter-subjective and holistic psychodynamic approach to individuals and relationships. Give me a call...Let's have some fun together while we help you grow and heal and provide effective healing to others in your professional life journey!
I offer consultation via:
- Individual Consultation.
- Group Consultation.
- Form your Own Group with your own Trusted Colleagues
Contact me or call: 310.371.2800 if you want to schedule an individual session or if you want to form a group of your trusted colleagues for me to join as consultant. I am putting out a call to form a Therapist-Centered Consultation Group at this time.
