The connection between the mind and body cannot be underestimated. Let our experts enhance your general wellness through mind-body therapy.
Mind and body therapy is an all-encompassing form of healthcare. It recognizes that physical and mental health affect each other, so it focuses on creating positive interactions between the mind and the body. Addressing both at the same time improves a person’s health in general.
Mind-body therapy techniques focus on social, physical, psychological, emotional, and even spiritual aspects of a person. What approaches and personal factors are concentrated on depend on the therapy provider and the client’s needs.
Mind and body therapy works by using a mixture of conventional and holistic medical treatments. Multiple treatments are used at once so both the body and mind can be treated simultaneously.
Common mind-body strategies include:
Everyone can benefit from mind and body counseling. It’s been shown to improve various physical and mental health conditions. However, here are some specific examples of conditions mind-body has improved:

There are many benefits to mind and body therapy:
Through mind-body therapy, a person becomes more in tune with their body and its needs. People understand why they physically feel something and what they can do to stop it. For example, when they tense up due to anxiety, they know muscle relaxation techniques to use to lower their anxiety.
Many studies find that mind-body participants have lower levels of stress hormones, and that reflects their improved general health.
When a person has a chronic condition, they have limited means to mitigate symptoms. Mind-body therapy techniques have been shown to help reduce symptoms of many chronic conditions.
Many with mental health conditions have found that mind-body therapy techniques improve their coping skills. A focus on the body allows people to “get out of their head”.
Our team offers a wide range of mind-body training options for promoting your general wellness, including:
Biofeedback is a noninvasive treatment option that shows how your body reacts to various stimuli. Through this technique, you’ll gain active control over your body and learn how to relax and regulate it at will.
Neurofeedback makes long-lasting changes in your brain, targeting and improving nerve function in brain areas associated with your individual challenges. With neurofeedback, you can improve your school or work performance.
CVAC is a whole-body conditioning program that uses dynamic changes in air pressure to boost oxygen levels in your body and produce beneficial responses. Spending time in the CVAC pod delivers many of the same benefits as exercise without physical stress.
Vasper™ and ARX® are today’s leading-edge exercise equipment designed to optimize your effort and work while you put in minimal time. Vasper™ provides high-intensity exercise in a low-impact workout, while ARX® uses motorized resistance and computer software to provide the customized training you need to build muscle mass.
Infrared light therapy stimulates energy production and reduces inflammation, and this helps eliminate muscle soreness and joint pain.
Wellness doesn’t just mean you’re free from illness. Rather, it refers to an active process of making choices that consistently propel you toward a healthy, thriving life. Your general wellness includes your emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being—and the team at Abbey Neuropsychology is dedicated to helping you excel in all categories.
Emotional wellness begins by being aware of your emotions and taking care of yourself. You may need to learn how to minimize stress or learn ways to adapt to the changes in your life.
When your emotional health is challenged for any reason, whether it’s the stress of a major life event or an ongoing mental health problem like depression or anxiety, the team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic offers support through many types of talk therapies.
Your therapist works with you through any difficulties you face, helping you identify the connections between emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and learn the skills needed to overcome your challenges and move forward in self-confidence.
Neuropsychological assessments are an invaluable diagnostic tool for psychiatric, developmental, and neurocognitive conditions like ADHD, depression, autism, and dementia. The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic in Palo Alto, California…..

Julia did a first-class, thorough and helpful job. We were very appreciative of her knowledge and helpful approach. Donovan Byrd2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lemme just put in the review first YET i have not particiapted with their activities with Abbey. I would love to participate but just want to genuinely ask how do people afford this without insurance (500+ per therapy sessinon and ~7k evaluation) on a regular basis. Or are there any other ways that can compensate the fees. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Cancy Han2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a successful startup founder but in the last 20 years I've spent over $250k on doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, dual-diagnosis clinics, and even crazy stuff like IV-ketamine therapy to figure out "what is wrong with my brain". The Abbey Clinic gave me the answers; now they're providing my therapy. I have yet to find a comparable clinic in the Bay Area. For me, they were truly a lifesaver. Shout-out to Dr Korsmo, Dr Barrett, Jordann, and Andrew. 🙏 Pete Curley2023-01-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reports show tremendous improvements in simple attention, complex attention, executive functioning, cognitive flexibility and tremendous improvement in alpha and beta waves control after 6 months. We saw immediate improvement in communication after the first month. Later on, we saw improvement in attention and executive functioning. The team we are working with at Abbey clinic is professional, friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Andrew Moses who conducts the Bi-weekly sessions. He is very nice and friendly. We would also like to thank Rachel and Paula who meet with us to discuss and explain the reports, results and future plans.

Rachael Little2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel that my experience with Abby has been excellent. The price is very very high and insurance usually does not cover it but it is definitely worth it if you have a lot of money to spare. I feel almost like a completely different person now, more focused, less anxious, and more relaxed. H S2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to hear about Abbey Clinic from our neighbor. I had no idea how to find a therapist. Both my kids are pretty regular learners and didn't really need much support outside of school, but when my teenager's life went completely sideways junior year from a brain injury, the biggest help were the sessions with Rachael Little. The sessions taught him coping skills and methods to approach life. He is doing so well in college and still uses the things he learned with Rachael. Thank you! Greta Kim2022-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All 5 members of my family have been served by Abbey Clinic - it's that good. We started with one kid as a test, and then continued on through the whole family because the experience with the first was so great. The report and insights given from the testing of my 3 kids has been hugely beneficial to their school and social lives. My daughter did brain training to help with her ADHD. We saw noticeable improvement. The same teenage daughter has made wonderful progress with her anxiety by meeting with Dr. Stephanie Abbey for psychotherapy. Personally, I met with Rachael for psychotherapy to help with my Autism. It was the kind of thing where I knew I needed to do it, and my wife encouraged me, but I wasn't very excited and definitely a little nervous about embarking into psychotherapy. Now looking back, I am THRILLED with the outcome. Rachael equipped me with frameworks and tools to make my life (and those around me) SOO much better. Our family is incredibly grateful for our interactions with Abbey Clinic. Strongly recommend! Stefan Lusvardi2022-05-26
