From Journaling to Guided Meditations: Everything You Need Between Therapy Sessions
Reaching out for help if you’re struggling emotionally is important, and if you’re diagnosed with a condition like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), therapeutic counseling — which can be facilitated using various approaches — can help you heal and live a more satisfying, balanced life.
Other therapeutic tools can help too, including learning more about and addressing your nutritional needs and managing stress effectively.
At In Touch Counseling, Janelle Adams, MA, LMFT, ATR offers advanced care rooted in a holistic approach because she believes in treating individuals with unique histories, needs, and circumstances — not just a symptom list.
Because of her patient-centered approach, Janelle also offers valuable tools that patients can use when they’re not engaged in an in-person or virtual visit with her.
Full circle: Getting what you need from therapy — whether or not you’re in session
We provide meaningful practices and tools to support your wellbeing that are founded on the belief that diverse forces impact your health — though they might not be immediately apparent to you — including:
- Lifestyle choices and patterns related to diet, physical activity, work-life balance, and more
- Food sensitivities you may not be aware of
- Overall digestive health
- How regulated your nervous system is
- Trauma history
- Sleep quality
To complement the treatment you’re engaged in with Janelle, you can take advantage of our Wellness Boutique, where you can learn about a variety of helpful tools and other services that support your treatment.
1. Guided meditations
A therapist-created guided meditation leads you through a healing meditative journey that you can do anytime, as it’s recorded.
Guided meditation themes address a variety of challenges, including anxiety, and the meditations are also helpful in supporting high-quality rest.
2. Reflection tools
Taking the time to truly reflect on your life and what’s going on around you is central to healing and good mental health.
Journals and other tools help you recognize thought and behavior patterns, process your emotions, build resilience, and more.
3. Wellness Guides and E-books
These resources help you focus on specific things you may be working on in therapy, from stress management to making changes to improve your health.
Our E-books and other resources help you better understand how food impacts your health, the physical effects of stress, and your own body’s needs.
4. Functional wellness testing
Functional wellness testing offers insight into your body’s unique patterns and how stress, mineral balance, and digestion affect them.
When you learn the results of your functional wellness testing, this information can help guide you in caring for yourself in the best way.
5. Our comforting Mind Spa
The In Touch Counseling Mind Spa is a serene space that you experience individually. Here, you can enjoy surroundings with calming music, practice yoga, receive a relaxing foot massage, use our therapy light, or meditate.
6. Alpha-StimⓇ
This gentle, noninvasive cranial stimulation electrotherapy tool can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. In certain instances, you may rent an Alpha-Stim device for use at home.
7. iTOVi Scanner
This tool helps customize your treatment by identifying which supplements and essential oils best match your needs.
Supportive devices and systems like these help you thrive by reinforcing your work with Janelle, identifying self-care gaps, and helping you shift your habits and outlook to become more emotionally and physically robust.
Successful treatment and growth aren’t simple linear paths for anyone. They require insight, effort, and curiosity—all of which we can nurture through our wellness products and practices.
