The Faran Center for Guided Imagery and Psychotherapy provides therapy with the goal of restoring a feeling of wholeness. Through visualization and guided imagery, we assist the patient to access the power of the mind to heal the body.
Research supports the healing effects of treating the psychological as well as the physical.
Working with the physicians who attend to the body, we focus on the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of the patient. The combination of administering the proper medical treatment and providing therapeutic support to activate the innate power of the body to heal can have extraordinary results. We work to restore feelings of hope, strength and power. Experiencing the diagnosis of cancer and undergoing treatment are traumatic events signalling a change in life that propels the patient into struggling with issues of mortality. Having no view towards a future beyond illness increases anxiety, fear and ultimately can be devastating.
