Dr. Kagan has been providing Holistic Intelligence™ services for many years.
She sees her role as professionally facilitating a safe and secure environment where a natural healing process occurs. This process constitutes a comprehensive exploration of multiple dimensions of the human condition by bridging the full spectrum of human experiences including mind, body, psyche, and spirit. The focus of Dr. Kagan's work is in assisting clients to open the gateway to their self-awareness and thus self-healing, by helping them to get in touch with their true feelings, emotions, sensations and establish mind-body-spirit connection. She incorporates psycho-dynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and family therapy approaches with Gestalt techniques, Ericksonian hypnosis, Jungian psychology, NLP techniques, Art therapy, Energy balancing, and other diverse holistic and creative vehicles. She believes in many cases the symptoms of illnesses or dis-ease an individual presents with, are metaphorical manifestation of the repressed Self, a spiritual being that seeks expression and healing. Accordingly, the challenge is to explore and reveal the truth behind the symptom. This of course requires your readiness and willingness to experience the entire range of emotions and feelings inherent in reclaiming your true "Self" while realizing your unlimited potential.

Because of her belief in holistic approach to any therapeutic interaction, Helen considers that in many cases "talk therapy" alone is not enough. The Western idea of psychotherapy based on Freud's "talking cure" which assumes that intellect heals, tends to empower the intellect rather than heal the wounded heart. We can see this through the whole notion of "talk therapy" when a problem (internal conflict) is stated, it is presumed resolved just because it is brought to consciousness. In contrast to this, Eastern approaches in general have very little to do with intellect. They deal mostly with characteristics of energy flow and spiritual awareness. Western practices usually separate the mind, body, and spirit so completely that there is only talk therapy for the mind, only religious practice for the spirit, and only invasive medical practice supported by multiple medications for the body. Most Eastern healing practices already well known in the West, such as Tai-Chi, Ayurveda, Yoga, Qi-gong, Reiki, and others, address an individual's physical, emotional, and psychological problem as manifestations of energetic and/or spiritual imbalance.

Helen was first introduced to Yoga and meditation in 1978. Since then, being fascinated by a beauty of the healing arts, she has been continuously exploring different Eastern and Western holistic healing systems, medicines, therapeutic modalities, to deeper understand and appreciate the sacred connection between mind, body, emotion and spirit, and to integrate this vast holistic knowledge in her practice.
