Energy Psychology
Connecting Mind, Body, and Energy
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” - Nikola Tesla
The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) defines energy psychology as a therapeutic model that includes “natural energetic components of meridians, chakras, biofields, bio-electrical and electromagnetic activity of the body, the nervous system, and the heart.”
What comes to mind when you read the words chakras, biofields, and meridians?
Is your interest peaked a little? If so and you are interested in exploring a different way of thinking about wellness, energy psychology offers an alternative to mainstream therapy.
Energy psychology is a mind-body approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with energy-based practices. This transformative model sits at the intersection of modern psychology, metaphysics, ancient Vedic philosophies, and traditional Chinese health practices. It is based on the belief that wellness returns when the body’s energy systems are brought into balance. Using an energy-informed framework increases clarity along multiple dimensions of human experience.
Why Energy-Informed Therapy?
“Your body is not a machine; it’s a living process. When you listen to it with presence and kindness, it will tell you everything you need to know.” Ann Weiser Cornell.
Energy psychology integrates evidence-supported treatment approaches with ancient teachings. It is truly a fusion of modern Western and ancient Eastern ideas. This holistic approach utilizes the concepts biofields, chakras, and meridians as metaphor and symbolism for wellness. The result is a unified and coherent treatment framework that addresses the social, psychological, behavioral, physical, cognitive, and intuitive dimensions of being.
Energy-informed psychotherapy is a transformative and integrative therapy. Emerging evidence, from the fields of neuroscience and psychophysiology, suggests that energy-informed psychotherapy may reduce cortisol levels, alleviate stress/trauma reactions, and increase emotional resilience.
Energy-informed psychotherapy helps you understand how stress, emotions, and past experiences live not only in the mind but also in the body’s energetic patterns. By working with these deeper layers of experience, you may find that change comes more naturally—old emotional blocks soften, resilience grows, and a greater sense of clarity and wholeness begins to shape your life.

Is Energy Psychology right for you?
Energy Psychology can complement traditional therapy or be a stand-alone approach. If any of these resonates with you, you might be a good candidate for this type of therapy.
Are you emotionally sensitive or highly intuitive?
Are you interested in a holistic, non-invasive approach?
Have tried other methods and are seeking something different?
Are open to mind–body healing?
Traditional psychotherapy often focuses on thoughts and emotions, with some awareness of physical sensations. But, what if we listened to the wisdom of ancient teachings and our own intuition? Combining traditional therapeutic techniques with energy-based interventions opens up new possibilities for growth and change. This approach may be helpful if you are experiencing:
anxiety, stress, or overwhelm,
low mood or emotional heaviness,
limiting beliefs or patterns,
difficulty with focus, confidence, or motivation,
feeling “stuck” despite traditional talk therapy,
the impact of past trauma,
a desire for growth or change, and
an existential crisis (i.e. the dark night of the soul).
Energy psychology honors the connection between mind, body, and energy. It is not about “fixing” you. It’s about helping your system return to balance and resilience. Each session is guided by compassion, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience.
Therapy Options

Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT)
AIT is a gentle therapy that helps release tension or trauma stored in the body. It combines current cognitive-behavioral theory, Buddhist philosophy, Jungian psychotherapy, somatic practices, and the energy system of the chakras to create a powerful and profound method for healing. The goal of AIT is to release traumatic material (which can include memories, thought patterns, emotions, inherited beliefs, and physical sensations) from the body’s energetic system to restore balance.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
EFT (tapping) is a holistic, evidence-based practice that you can do on your own - anywhere, anytime. Similar to acupuncture or acupressure, this technique uses traditional Chinese medicine concept of meridians to restore energetic balance. It is a noninvasive, nonpharmaceutical approach to trauma and stress with no side effects.
