Herbal Medicine
Gayle DeBay, Pharmacist

There is an increasing desire by many individuals today to treat conditions, prevent or reduce side effects of medications and boost overall health and wellness with whole nutrition and natural supplementation. However, taking a potpourri of herbs, vitamins, and minerals along side with prescribed and over-the-counter medications, or replacing them all together without medical consultation, may not be producing the positive effects you intended, and worse, be dangerous. A professional assessment of the drug's pharmacological properties, side effects and contraindications will identify the productive qualities of each substance and provide vital information useful for recommending a medicinal regimen including natural products and medications that best meets your health needs.

Holistic Psychotherapy
Practitioner: Rosa M. Buffone, Mental Health Counselor

Holistic Psychotherapy uses a unique blend of counseling skills, process therapy, energy work, mindfulness meditation, guided imagery and intention to reach a person’s inner wisdom and to re-connect to their spiritual resources. Within the context of traditional talk therapy, “awareness reflection” is used to locate, understand, and release emotional, spiritual, mental and physical blocks that have impeded peace, joy and fulfillment in relationships, at work, and in one's life pursuits. By transforming self-limiting structures of the psyche—core beliefs by which an individual has lived their entire life— creative energy can be restored to its natural flow allowing the growth opportunity for a lifetime of dreams to be realized – harmonious with the soul and reconciled to one’s True Self.
