Guided Imagery

Guided imagery uses directed suggestions to guide your imagination and visualization toward a relaxed, focused state. Guided imagery is a highly effective process, using all of your senses. Due to the powerful connection between the body and mind, your body can respond to what the senses imagine.

Through guided imagery, a relaxed state allows the opportunity for healing, learning, creativity, and performance. The process of guided imagery may help you feel more in control of your emotions and thoughts, allowing the opportunity to improve your attitude, health, and sense of well-being.

Guided imagery can be effective in promoting relaxation, lowering blood pressure and reducing stress and anxiety. This process can be used in conjunction with traditional medicine in the treatment of cancer, reducing pain, strengthening the immune system and enhancing the ability to heal.

Guided imagery can also help with athletic performance and public speaking.

Appointments are available in our offices near Pittsburgh in Wexford, Robinson Township, and Squirrel Hill.
