5 Signs You’re Ready for Holistic Mental Health Support
What Does “Holistic Mental Health” Mean? The word “holistic” refers to wholeness and how various parts are interconnected. At The Lotus Center for Healing & Wellness, we view mental health through a holistic or whole-person lens: Mind, body, and spirit. We understand that in order to truly address mental health and wellness, we must address and care for all parts of a person.
As a provider of holistic mental health in Utah, we know that it doesn’t replace traditional care; it expands it for deeper and longer lasting healing. Instead of focusing only on mental health symptoms, this approach considers lifestyle, physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual needs.
If you’ve been wondering whether a more integrative or holistic approach might serve you, here are five signs you may be ready.
1. Traditional Approaches Haven’t Felt Complete
Maybe you’ve tried therapy or medication and still feel something is missing. Holistic mental health often involves combining evidence-based psychotherapy with supportive treatments like medication, IV vitamin infusions, mindfulness, or spiritual care. This layered approach can create new pathways for growth and balance.
2. You Want to Address Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms
Holistic care considers the “why” behind what you’re experiencing. For example, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or unprocessed grief may influence mood. Our providers integrate physical health assessments, therapy, and supportive services like supplements or bio-identical hormone therapy to uncover and remedy contributing factors. (You can learn more about our comprehensive services here.)
3. You Feel Disconnected from Your Body or Spirit
Stress, trauma, or burnout can leave us feeling cut off from ourselves. We might start to feel caught up in our thoughts and stuck in our mind. Holistic care invites reconnection—through mindfulness, somatic practices, physical care and support, spiritual counseling, or even psychedelic insight journeys with ketamine. Re-grounding in your body and values can bring unstoppable clarity and resilience.
4. You Value Collaboration and Personalized Care
In a holistic model, you’re not just a diagnosis; you’re a whole person with unique needs. In order to address your unique needs, it is important for your care team to collaborate with each other on your behalf. At The Lotus Center, our team of APRNs, therapists, and a clinical chaplain collaborate to design care that honors your unique story, preferences, and goals.
5. You’re Seeking Tools for Everyday Balance
Holistic mental health and wellness isn’t just about sessions in a clinic. It offers practices you can carry into daily life like breathing techniques, mindfulness rituals, or supplement support. These tools empower you to engage in healing long after appointments end. Something that makes TLC one of the top providers of holistic mental health in Utah is that we emphasize improved wellness beyond improving symptoms.
Quick Self-Quiz: Is Holistic Mental Health Right for You?
Answer “Yes” or “No” to each:
- I’ve tried one or more traditional mental health treatments, but I still feel something is missing.
- I want my care to consider physical health, nutrition, or hormones alongside mental health.
- I feel disconnected from my body, emotions, or sense of purpose.
- I value an integrative team approach instead of just one type of provider.
- I want practical tools I can use daily to support my wellness.
**If you answered “Yes” to 3 or more questions, exploring holistic mental health could be a supportive next step.
