About Us
What is Resilience and Hope?
Resilience & Hope is an integrative practice specializing in assisting professionals who have traditionally felt particularly vulnerable to seeking help. Our mission is to help professionals build resilience for stress and times of adversity, while improving overall wellbeing.
Using a non-pathologizing perspective and providing support for “when life happens”, we help promote emotional and physical health & wellness through Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Behavioral Health Medicine.
Our programs are specifically designed for those with high stress, high demand, high profile, high responsibility lives, whose work may (at times) interfere with keeping appointments. To assist with this, we offer extremely flexible scheduling, maintain a limited number of patients and have strict confidentiality & privacy procedures in place. Professionals include those who work in health care, veterinary medicine, the legal field, education, entertainment, media, government as well as behavioral health providers.
Our variety of programs and individualized patient treatment plans offer time limited, highly focused, integrative holistic care to help professionals achieve the quality of life they need, want, and deserve.
At Resilience and Hope, your scheduled treatment time is focused solely on you – our practitioners’ time and attention is not divided between you and patients in another room. In addition, we endeavor to ensure your confidentiality in a serene, tranquil environment. As such, we intentionally do not have a waiting room and always leave enough time between patient appointments for privacy.
Core Phase Components
At Resilience & Hope, all our programs and individualized patient treatments use a phased integrative approach with four core components. Following a thorough assessment, we initiate with the appropriate stage of care for your situation. A general description of the core components is provided, although all program/treatment plans are customized to address your individual/program goals.
STEP O1 – RESTORE
Symptom relief of issues revealed during the assessment.
During this phase, interventions may include acupuncture, crisis intervention, traditional Chinese medicine, psychoeducation and practical coping skills focused on wellness. As symptoms begin to improve, root cause treatment is started. Depending on the program or on your individual health status, this phase is typically, once or twice weekly for 2-4 weeks, then weekly. Towards the end of this phase, we then re-assess to update status, monitor progress and to develop the specific focus for next phase.STEP 02 – REVITALIZE
Addressing root cause.
During this phase, interventions continue addressing the root cause of issues. In addition, a maintenance plan to preserve progress, prevent flare ups and build on resiliency and wellness is initiated. This phase is typically, weekly to twice monthly for 2-3 months.STEP 03 – REPLENISH
Maintain progress, solidify prevention strategies.
During this phase prevention strategies to support ongoing wellness are reinforced. “Tune ups” to boost newly achieved health status, renew energy from daily stressors and to minimize build-up or relapse are scheduled (typically, monthly or bi-monthly for 2-6 months).
STEP 04 – REFRESH
Wellness/Immunity Booster.
The purpose of this phase is to demonstrate growth and resilience and maintain achieved program or individual wellness. These appointments can be used during transitional periods/seasonal changes, etc., or if a critical event occurs and a ‘booster’ is needed. An intensive plan can then be developed to address the current situation and needs. This part of the program remains customizable to further focus on overall goals.
