If you’re looking for more intensive mental health support…
If you are experiencing life issues that involve suicidality, emergencies,
Realization Process practices can be used as support for trauma repair, as well as depression, anxiety, and as a way to deepen one’s emotional and spiritual well-being (as many alternative healing practices can be). If you are having difficulty with everyday functioning and you want to use Realization Process practices for self-healing, it is strongly recommended that you do so in conjunction with a more primary form of therapy.
I am certified in both Realization Process and Coherence Therapy, though my work is defined as therapy-informed coaching where I am helping clients achieve fundamental well-being and resolve trauma-based imprints and other life problems, though my practice is not set up to diagnose or treat psychiatric disorders. If you’re looking for a Realization Process practitioner that is a also a psychotherapist local to you, you can search here at the Realizationprocess.org teachers page. If you are looking for an experiential psychotherapy practitioner, Coherence Therapy is an evidence-informed option that has had success in dispelling a number of symptoms. Find a Coherence Therapy practitioner here.
If you’re looking for a therapist specializing in somatic or spiritual forms of therapy, you might try Psychology Today’s website as well as GoodTherapy.org. If you have financial concerns, you can also try the SAMHSA Treatment Locator. Psychology Today, GoodTherapy, and SAMHSA all have powerful search filters which can help you find the help that you need.
