Less burnout. More embodiment. High-impact wellness protocol coaching for New Yorkers and clients worldwide seeking sustainable mental and physical health.
Why Structure Matters
Making meaningful changes to mental, emotional, and physical health without expert guidance often feels like navigating a maze blindfolded. Conflicting information, inconsistent motivation, and lack of clarity can leave even the most capable, high-functioning individuals feeling stalled or depleted.
This is why this work is grounded in clinical expertise and structure. When lifestyle change is guided by a licensed psychotherapist—rather than trends, willpower, or guesswork—it becomes intentional, realistic, and deeply effective.
An Integrative, Multidimensional Model of Care
At Holistic Therapy & Wellness NY, lifestyle and wellness protocol coaching is not separate from psychological healing—it is informed by it.
This multidimensional approach integrates:
Evidence-based psychotherapy
Mind–body medicine
Nervous system regulation
Lifestyle-based mental health strategies
The focus is not on symptom suppression, but on identifying and addressing root causes of stress, anxiety, burnout, fatigue, trauma responses, and emotional dysregulation—while equipping clients with tools they can integrate into daily life.
Who Benefits From a Dimensions of Wellness Model
This model is particularly beneficial for individuals navigating:
Chronic stress, burnout, or emotional overload
Anxiety, depression, or nervous system dysregulation
Trauma or unresolved developmental stress
Hormonal transitions, including perimenopause and menopause
Chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, or “mystery” illnesses
High-achieving lives that feel unsustainable internally
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, wellness protocols are customized and sequenced based on capacity, readiness, and individual goals.
Specialized Support for Women & Complex Health Transitions
For women navigating perimenopause and menopause, wellness protocols address the emotional, cognitive, and physical complexities of hormonal transition—supporting mood regulation, sleep, mental clarity, and vitality.
For clients living with chronic or poorly understood illness, this work provides trauma-informed care that acknowledges the emotional toll of being dismissed or misunderstood—while helping restore agency, regulation, and internal stability.
How We Avoid Overwhelm
Change happens through precision, pacing, and collaboration.
Rather than introducing multiple interventions at once, we:
Identify the most impactful starting points
Introduce protocols incrementally
Set clear, achievable goals
Adjust in real time as needs evolve
This structure allows clients to build momentum without burnout, creating changes that are integrated, sustainable, and empowering.
The Wellness Protocol Framework
A Thoughtfully Sequenced Approach
All wellness protocols are introduced intentionally, building from foundational regulation toward deeper integration.
1. Trauma Resolution & Emotional Regulation
Healing unresolved trauma and emotional patterns using clinically grounded modalities (e.g., EMDR, somatic approaches), supported by grounding practices, breathwork, and reflective journaling.
2. Nervous System & Somatic Integration
Addressing how stress and trauma live in the body through somatic awareness, gentle movement, and body-based regulation practices.
3. Mindfulness & Stress Regulation
Cultivating present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity, enhance resilience, and support emotional regulation in daily life.
4. Self-Compassion & Emotional Resilience
Reducing shame, self-criticism, and internal pressure through structured self-compassion and cognitive reframing practices.
5. Cognitive & Behavioral Alignment
Using CBT-informed strategies to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, reinforce healthy habits, and create consistency.
6. Boundaries, Relationships & Relational Wellness
Strengthening assertiveness, communication, and emotional boundaries to support healthier relationships and work-life balance.
7. Movement, Nutrition & Sleep Foundations
Introducing personalized movement, nutrition-informed mental health strategies, and sleep hygiene to support brain health and emotional stability.
8. Meaning, Purpose & Existential Wellness
Exploring values, purpose, and alignment—helping clients reconnect with meaning beyond productivity or achievement.
Additional dimensions—such as financial stress, vocational burnout, digital overload, creativity, spirituality, cultural identity, and environmental wellness—are introduced when clinically appropriate and psychologically supportive.
How This Differs From traditional life Coaching
While traditional coaching focuses on motivation and goal attainment, this work is rooted in licensed psychotherapy.
This means:
Emotional blocks are treated, not bypassed
Trauma and nervous system dysregulation are addressed directly
Interventions are clinically informed and ethically regulated
Lifestyle change is supported by psychological depth
For many high-functioning individuals, obstacles arise not from lack of motivation—but from unconscious patterns, developmental trauma, or chronic stress physiology. This model is designed to meet those realities with expertise.
