Complementary Somatic Support for Clients in the Integration Phase

Purpose of This Page 

This page exists to provide licensed and trained professionals with a clear, accurate overview of the non-clinical support offered by Intentional Healing. It is intended to support ethical discernment regarding appropriateness, boundaries, and client fit. 

This work is complementary, not therapeutic or clinical, and is designed to support clients who have already engaged in insight-based or clinical care and are seeking embodied integration. 

Scope of Practice

Intentional Healing provides non-clinical, non-diagnostic, and non-treatment-based support. 

The work: 

  • Does not diagnose mental health conditions 

  • Does not provide psychotherapy or counseling 

  • Does not replace psychiatric, psychological, or medical care 

  • Does not offer crisis intervention or emergency support 

  • Does not provide medication guidance or recommendations 

Clients are expected to maintain their primary therapeutic, psychiatric, or medical relationships as applicable. 

Appropriate Client Fit

This support may be appropriate for clients who: 

  • Have prior experience with therapy, counseling, or structured mindfulness practices 

  • Are no longer in acute crisis or destabilization 

  • Demonstrate psychological insight but continue to experience nervous-system dysregulation 

  • Are capable of informed consent, self-reflection, and personal responsibility 

  • Seek embodied integration rather than cognitive processing alone 

Not Appropriate For

This support is not appropriate for clients who are experiencing: 

  • Active psychosis or dissociative episodes requiring clinical management 

  • Suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors 

  • Untreated substance dependency 

  • Acute trauma responses requiring stabilization 

  • Situations requiring diagnosis, treatment planning, or clinical monitoring 

Clients presenting with these needs should remain under appropriate licensed clinical care. 

Methodological Orientation (High-Level) 

The work at Intentional Healing is grounded in: 

  • Somatic awareness and body-based regulation 

  • Nervous-system education and stabilization practices 

  • Grounding and presence-based techniques 

  • Mindfulness-informed approaches 

  • Integration-focused support following insight-based work 

The approach emphasizes embodiment, regulation, and integration rather than analysis or interpretation. 

Spiritual or symbolic frameworks may be present in client-facing experiences; however, professional collaboration remains grounded in clear boundaries and non-clinical language. 

Relationship to Clinical and Therapeutic Care 

Intentional Healing operates independently and does not: 

  • Request or require clinical records 

  • Participate in treatment planning 

  • Provide progress reports or assessments 

  • Communicate with providers without explicit client initiation 

Any referral remains informal and discretionary. The client retains full responsibility for their care decisions. 

Professional Transparency

Intentional Healing values: 

  • Ethical clarity 

  • Scope containment 

  • Respect for licensed professions 

  • Client safety and autonomy 

This work is positioned as adjunctive support, not intervention.
