Understanding Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that uses natural plant extracts—essential oils—to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
When inhaled or applied safely to the skin, these oils activate the brain’s limbic system (the emotional center), influencing mood, heart rate, and stress levels.

At PS It’s Counseling, we integrate aromatherapy as a complementary support to talk therapy and mindfulness work. By combining scent with intention, we help clients cultivate calm, clarity, and emotional grounding.

Healing is not just mental—it’s sensory. Aromatherapy engages the body to help the mind find peace.

Our Approach to Holistic Wellness

The Aromatherapy Bar is part of our integrative wellness model, which combines emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Our therapists believe that true healing happens when all aspects of the self are nurtured.

We often pair aromatherapy with:

• Mindfulness Practices – Enhancing awareness and calm through sensory grounding.
• Breathing Exercises – Using scent to deepen relaxation.
• Meditation or Yoga Integration – Supporting focus and presence.
• Holistic Counseling – Aligning emotional work with body-centered self-care.

This multidimensional approach encourages deeper emotional release and balance during therapy sessions.
