Health psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on people’s health. Specifically, we focus on the ways in which our minds and bodies are connected. Many health conditions that we typically think of as purely physical or purely psychological actually result from both physiological and emotional factors.

 

The therapists, located in our Boston, MA office can help you with anxiety, asthma, tension and migraine headaches, mild-to-moderate hypertension, insomnia, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Raynaud’s disease, and TMJ⁄jaw pain. We can help you adopt a healthier lifestyle while living with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other chronic conditions. Having to change life-long habits, especially in the face of a medical condition, can be difficult and overwhelming. We will guide you through this process and help you achieve a healthier lifestyle. Research shows that mind-body therapy can alleviate numerous medical problems. The human body and mind are interconnected in remarkable ways, and working on one can frequently help heal the other.
