What’s Missing from Modern Therapy? The Spirit.

Modern trauma therapy tends to stop at mind and body. Psychospiritual therapy goes further—inviting your soul, intuition, and inner wisdom into the healing process.


You’ve tried talk therapy.
You’ve read the books, journaled the feelings, identified the “why.”
You even understand that your anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing began with childhood emotional neglect from emotionally immature parents.

And yet—you still feel stuck.
Still not good enough.
Still like something essential is missing.

This is where psychospiritual therapy comes in.

Unlike traditional therapy, which focuses primarily on thoughts and behaviors—or even mind-body modalities that incorporate somatic work—psychospiritual therapy brings the Spirit back into the healing equation.

Because healing isn’t just about your mind or body.
It’s about your essence. Your soul.
It’s about coming home to yourself—not just as a person with a nervous system, but as a being with deep inner wisdom, longing, and connection.

The Problem with Modern Mental Health is that The Spirit Has Been Left Behind

In recent years, the mental health field has made powerful strides in understanding the nervous system and the role of trauma in shaping who we become. Approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, and mindfulness-based CBT have helped countless people regulate emotions and reconnect with their bodies.

But for many—especially high-achieving, hyper-independent women who grew up emotionally neglected—something still feels hollow.

You might understand your trauma intellectually.
You might even feel more “regulated”... But you’re still disconnected—from yourself, from others, from life.


The missing piece?
The spirit.

Not in a religious sense—this isn’t about dogma.
Psychospiritual therapy is about reclaiming your aliveness, your intuition, and your connection to something larger than yourself.
It's about creating space to hear your inner voice again—and learning to trust it.

What Is Psychospiritual Therapy?

Psychospiritual therapy is a holistic therapeutic approach that integrates traditional psychological tools with spiritual practices to heal the full self—mind, body, and spirit. It acknowledges that you are more than your diagnosis, more than your coping mechanisms, and more than the wounds you’ve carried.

It asks:

  • What does your soul need right now?

  • What wisdom is buried beneath your anxiety or self-doubt?

  • What deeper truth is your perfectionism protecting you from?

  • What would it look like to live in alignment with your inner world?

As a holistic therapist, I weave psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, nature-based therapy, and integrative trauma work with practices that connect you to your intuition, ancestral wisdom, and inner healing intelligence.

Why the Spirit Matters in Trauma Healing

If you’re the parentified daughter—the one who grew up managing everyone else’s emotions—you were likely never allowed to develop a connection to your own.

You became the “easy kid.”
You stayed small, agreeable, responsible—because no one made space for your truth.

In psychospiritual therapy, we acknowledge that trauma doesn’t just dysregulate your nervous system. It disorients your spirit.

You lose touch with your sense of belonging, your knowing, your innate worth. You begin to search for it in achievements, relationships, or approval—but the emptiness never fully goes away.

Psychospiritual therapy helps you return to that lost connection.
To remember that you are already whole. Already worthy. Already home.


At Inner Worlds Psychotherapy, holistic doesn’t mean “woo.”
It means whole.
It means tending to every layer of who you are—not just your symptoms.


What Makes This Therapy Holistic?

Here's what a holistic psychospiritual approach might include:

✴ Trauma-Informed Talk Therapy

We explore the roots of your emotional patterns, including how childhood emotional neglect and emotionally unavailable parents shaped your beliefs about yourself. Learn more about trauma therapy here.

✴ Somatic & Mindfulness Practices

To help you feel safe in your body again, especially if you've spent your whole life in fight, flight, or freeze.

✴ Hypnotherapy & Inner Child Work

✴ Ritual, Ancestral Connection & Symbolic Healing

You may explore connection with your ancestors, dreams, or elements (earth, fire, water, air). This is always client-led—never forced or performative.

What Healing Looks Like

Psychospiritual therapy doesn’t promise perfection—but it does offer a path to freedom.

Freedom from hustling for approval.
Freedom from cycles of burnout.
Freedom from the belief that you’re only lovable when you’re useful.

You begin to:

  • Feel safe in your body for the first time

  • Trust your intuition

  • Set boundaries without guilt

  • Soften your inner critic

  • Reclaim your voice and your needs

  • Feel deeply connected to your Self—and to something greater

Who Is Psychospiritual Therapy For?

Psychospiritual therapy is especially powerful for:

  • Those who are done talking in circles in talk therapy—but still feel stuck

  • The over-functioner who’s tired of earning love through achievement

  • The perfectionist or people-pleaser who secretly feels like an imposter

  • The person who feels deeply who was raised to hide her emotions

  • The sensitive soul with an anxious attachment style and no idea how to set boundaries

  • The adult child of emotionally immature parents who grew up unseen, unheard, and emotionally alone

  • The BIPOC or first-generation woman trying to break intergenerational cycles

  • The seeker who senses there’s something deeper—but doesn’t want “just another therapist”

Why I Offer Psychospiritual Therapy

I became a licensed therapist because I believe healing is sacred.

As a first-generation Latina woman, trauma therapist, and a long-time student of shamanic and nature-based practices, I know that true transformation happens when we stop trying to “fix” ourselves—and begin to listen inward.

Psychospiritual therapy offers them a place to finally come home to yourself. Not just to think differently—but to become who you were always meant to be.

Final Thoughts: You Were Never Meant to Heal in Pieces

Healing isn’t just about managing symptoms.
It’s about reconnecting with your inner world.
With the parts of you that had to hide to survive.
With the stillness inside you that’s always known the way.

If you're tired of talk therapy that only scratches the surface...
If you feel like you're healing everywhere except where it actually hurts...
Psychospiritual therapy might be the missing link.

Because you deserve to feel whole.
You deserve to feel seen.
You deserve to feel free.
