Beverly Yoches, MD: I believe that we are mind, body and spirit and so to go through the healing process does not just incorporate the physical body. So, for example if someone were to come and seek individual therapy with me, I would help them not only care for their body by ensuring that they are compliant with all the medications, but also take time everyday to be mindful, to be still, to take periods of time where they are caring for themselves emotionally and then also I believe it’s important, no matter what religion you are, to connect to spirit, to connect to something that will help instill hope and positive outcome for your future.
