Psychology with a Soul

Our capacity to heal and grow relies upon the integration and balancing of our hearts and minds. The path to this integration is co-constructed through our healing partnership. Healing occurs by identifying the psychological and spiritual elements and addressing these patterns through a process of synthesis.

A variety of issues that I commonly deal with are: trauma, including childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, plus death anxiety and performance anxiety, loss, women’s issues, spiritual and midlife crises, and career changes.

I have appeared as one of the “World’s leading psychological and spiritual experts…” in the PBS Documentaries: Love, Overcoming the Dark Side, Wake Up and Get Healthy, and Happiness (produced by Gary Null Productions), along with Lama Surya Das, Robert Thurman, Ervin Laszlo, and others.

My background and proficiency in the healing arts includes: a doctorate in clinical psychology, publications on the union of spirituality and transpersonal, relational, and positive psychology, dance therapy, the martial arts, raja yoga and creative meditation.

Specialties in my practice of Psychosynthesis include:

• Relationship Therapy
• Couples Counseling
• Spiritual Crisis
• EMDR
• Creative Meditation
• Trauma
• Artists’ Issues
• Group Therapy
• Loss and Grief
• Life Coaching (Board Certified Coach/BCC)

I am a Psychotherapist and a Mystic with over thirty years of counseling experience. I offer a heartfelt, deeply human, healing partnership. This process is highly individualized and highly interactive and allows for rapid growth. I know from experience that you can change your way of being with yourself and being in the world. My work is practical and spiritual. It is kind, exciting and enlivening.

I have been a long time student of both Eastern and Western spiritual philosophies, including Buddhism, The Tao, Kabbalah, Mindfulness Meditation, Tarot, Palmistry, and Astrology. Along with a Masters degree in Psychology, I have completed several certifications in Hypnotherapy. I am a graduate of The East /West Institute for Holistic Health Education, and am a former director of The Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute in Puerto Rico. I have been on the faculty of the New York Open Center since 1986 teaching Tarot and Western Hermetic tradition.

Through the School of Oracles I teach in-depth courses in both Tarot and Palmistry. For more information please visit my website. A new 50 lesson Palmistry class will begin in late spring 2012.

I offer both long term and short term psychotherapy. I am also available for readings using a combination of all my mystic tools including Palmistry, Astrology, and Tarot.

The whole person—body, mind and spirit—is the focus of my therapy. I employ my ability as a Medical Intuitive to facilitate your healing process. A Medical Intuitive sees the causes of your problems whether their origin exist at the emotional, physical or spiritual levels. Emotional blockages that can impair growth in all areas of your life are easily pinpointed. Root causes of physical symptoms are readily ascertained, as are any weaknesses in the energy field that could ultimately lead to physical or emotional problems.

Once a problem is found, it can be eliminated through Healings. When this is achieved, a cascade effect occurs with shifts happening in other areas of an individual’s life as well. For example, a client who had her block about anger shifted found she was able to draw healthier boundaries in her relationship and make better career choices. In addition, she grew spiritually, acquiring new skills and abilities in that realm as well.

This approach provides a truly ideal route to wellness.

Elaine Woodall, Ph.D., is a medical intuitive and healer with exceptional skill and ability. In addition to her private practice, she teaches Medical Intuition at Holos University, the premier American institution for Medical Intuition Studies, founded by  Carolyn Myss. She has served on the Board of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology and is aligned with the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine. Her work has also been featured in The New York Times and Venture Inward.

Modern Bioenergetics: Integrative Psychotherapy

Bioenergetic Analysis is a psychotherapy committed to the premise that mind and body are not separate but integral aspects of a unified whole. Alexander Lowen, MD, who founded Bioenergetics in 1956, believed that emotional problems in living should be addressed through a combination of in-depth talk and a deep exploration of the language of the body – that is, how we breathe, move and express ourselves physically.

Through a process that goes beyond talk, Modern Bioenergetic practitioners integrate state of the art psychotherapeutic understanding and technique to actively help people to move toward their most desired goals. Recent findings in neuroscience have substantiated the importance of working with the body in psychotherapy. Bioenergetic Analysis is unique, time-honored and dedicated to psychological and emotional growth, vibrant health, aliveness, pleasure, joy, love, autonomy and a rich connection to others and the world.

The New York Society for Bioenergetic Analysis (NYSBA) offers individual therapy, workshops, bodywork classes, seminars and professional training. Please visit our website for further information.

My approach to psychotherapy synthesizes holistic, spiritual, and psychoanalytic modes of understanding and working. The therapeutic relationship is a safe context for emotional healing and developing greater self awareness. I help my clients deal with current difficulties and feelings, release “old pain” to allow the natural growth process to proceed, change dysfunctional patterns which block fulfillment, and empower themselves through awareness and choice.

Many years of spiritual practice and explorations in spirituality and holistic health contribute to my perspective. I encourage the development of spiritual health, a deep sense of connectedness through the core of your being to the larger whole.

Feeling overwhelmed?

Having trouble with work? With relationships? With loss? Or perhaps you simply feel unable to get what you need.

When you are in a struggle with yourself, it can blur everything else. Your life may seem painful, lonely and scary.

Don’t be alone with your problems.

Talking with an insightful, spiritually-attuned psychotherapist can help. Together we can explore, understand, and work with what has been troubling you. Gaining perspective this way can give you a stronger sense of yourself personally, and out in the world. And it can help you discover your own unique evolutionary path.

I am a holistic psychotherapist who has been practicing for more than 22 years. My institute training left me well versed in many therapeutic modalities. I have also studied the Tao, Buddhism and various forms of healing. But most important is that I am an experienced listener who is attuned to both psychodynamics and spirituality.

Successful psychotherapy begins with a trusting relationship. The initial consultation is free. Please feel welcome to call.

Just as the story of the wind is written in the sand, our life stories, our fears, disappointments, and longings are written in the structure of our bodies. To move beyond the limits of our history, we must change in mind and body. When we do so, we alter the course of our lives-our fate-and create the chance for embodying new possibilities. If you are seeking freedom from the limits of inhibition or social phobia, relief from anxiety or depression, if you want to improve your ability to communicate and relate to others, or increase your expressiveness for public speaking, singing, acting or writing, consider this personal, in-depth, active approach. Therapy or coaching, private sessions, groups, and workshops are offered. Dr. Panvini’s work in expressive body psychotherapy spans twenty five years. His broad and varied background includes an extensive performing arts career, acclaim as a body-oriented voice teacher, a Ph.D., in Clinical Psychology, Certification in Bioenergetics, and treatment of substance abusers, and victims of torture as a Psychologist at Bellevue Hospital. He is internationally known for his innovative skills in helping people live more passionate personal and professional lives.
