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.

Nothing short of amazing, the care, attention, empathy, and avoidance of any kind of stigma, I cannot say enough good things about the Abbey Clinic. suzanne mcgovern2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Abbey Clinic! They have done an incredible job helping both our children. Our team includes Dr. Abbey, Dr. Kaberta, Rachelle, Julia, Stefanie, and on occasion, Andrew. Our children have made incredible strides in emotion regulation, reading, social interaction, and overcoming sensory struggles. The important thing to note is that doing their program requires a significant financial commitment and a large time commitment. If you are able and willing to do both, you will see jaw dropping improvements. It is hard to be patient, but following the process is worth it. We feel so fortunate to have found them. After years of other therapies and tutoring, neurofeedback has worked the very best. Teachers and family members have been amazed, and I love that my children will have a better future. As a psychologist for work, I was very skeptical about the process because we are taught that neurofeedback is quackery. In a desperate move, we reached out to Abbey Clinic and it took us over a month to make a decision to move forward. They were patient, answered all our questions, and did not pressure us. If your children are the most important people in your life, you are tired of people staring at them in public because of their needs, and you are in a position to give your kids your all, then this is what works. It has worked better than countless OTs, speech, tutors, and other intensive therapies. We have a child that now talks to us in complete sentences and has full conversations, is making steady strides in catching up with reading, and can now participate in social settings in a room with a lot of people. Our other child is steadily overcoming dyslexia. We look forward to seeing where both will go. Do not listen to all the doomsday prophet health practitioners who say your child’s life will be limited, but be patient with the process. Make a commitment for at least 40 sessions to begin with, and see where it takes you. You won’t be sorry! Kristen Chambliss2025-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My three kids have doubled their attention span and focus. All their grades are now A+, and behavior has been exceptional. Big improvements across the board. More substantially their confidence has increased and now have very few conflicts and get along well. The energy in the home has shifted. Comments about my kids are, “they are going somewhere…” and “what intelligent well behaved children you have.” Their prep and post brain scans were AMAZING to see. They are scientists w this stuff. Dr Abby and his team have been very hospitable, kind and helpful. They have helped my brain optimize to myself and overcome focus issues. My company last year got a valuation into the 9 figures. I know I couldn’t have done it w out them. They are an accelerator and asset for increase’s productivity and profitability as I have seen in my business. But I’ve noticed being more in control of my thoughts and emotions. One of my kids had neurological challenges which have been resolved within cycle of work with them. We have kept our kids on their program… why wouldn’t I keep my kids brain in the gym? His kids won awards for the smartest kids in California… I want to follow the legacy he’s creating… I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!

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. Sally El-Ogeil2022-12-25Trustindex 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 Kim2022-05-28
