At the center, advanced student clinicians, who are studying to become naturopathic doctors and are trained in various psychological techniques, receive guidance from Dr. Grieneeks, a licensed psychologist. Those who have visited the counselors say they have benefitted. Some say that the sessions have given them a sense of power and control over their lives again. The clinicians typically see people with cancer, people who are facing death, people whose spouses have died, or who have just gone through a break-up of a romantic relationship. They also see people who are seeking more meaning in their lives and people who want to improve the quality of their relationships.
Sessions can include counseling techniques such as relaxation training or guided imagery.
Both the students and the teachers are absolutely incredible. I have been regularly treated by Anthony Amos and Sue Yang - two excellent clinicians. They have greatly improved my physical and emotional health. Since I am curious by nature, I ask a lot of questions, and they patiently explain the theory involved and what they are doing. I wish Western doctors were more like them.
