Rebeca Davila

As the owner of Vida Holistic Therapy, I am excited about integrating my two passions: Clinical Social Work and Traditional Chinese Medicine to create an integrated and effective approach for your mental health.   Combining body centered therapies along with talk therapy has shown significant results in mental wellness.  The body keeps memories of past traumas even if the mind blocks them.  An integrated approach that takes into account your mind, body, and spirit that touches on the different aspects of your being, effectively addresses the root of the ailment.  I look forward to working with you.

Method

Holistic psychotherapies use a bottom up approach because they physiologically reduce stress, anxiety, and address trauma by changing the autonomic nervous system and discharging negative emotions or trauma.

Somatic psycho-therapies help you to relax and heal on a deep level so aspects of you can be accessed via talk therapy.
