Integrated Health Service Center for PsychoSpiritual Healing (IHS-CPSH)

A Unified Field of Healing

Integrated Health Service-The Center for PsychoSpiritual Healing is a non-profit organization providing integrated and wholistic health services and mental health research and training to individuals and agencies.   As its mission the Center seeks to increase local and national awareness of the complex interaction of social stressors on health and wellness by providing ongoing educational programs geared to prevention. In disseminating information and increasing awareness about common diseases and paths to premature death the Center conducts seminars, workshops, lecture series, and training programs.

The Center provides research-driven clinical services integrating the concept of co-occurrence and interconnectedness of mental and physical health. Offering various educational programs geared to prevent and abate diseases and premature death among diverse populations, the Center’s mission is to increase awareness about the complex interaction of social stressors and their impact on health and wellness. 

The Center provides multicultural services in a culturally congruent manner promoting programs that stress healthy lifestyles conducive to positive behavioral changes.  This empowers people with knowledge enabling them to make changes to better their life.

Our Philosophy and Conceptual Approach . . .

The Center is founded upon the belief that every creation contains a seed of eternal life force, which gives the physical body the capacity to promote healing spontaneously. Conceptually, by being mindful of this universal principle and enlightening the inner-self we can attain a harmonious and authentic humanity relatively free of diseases and disorders. We believe that optimum health can be reached and fully actualized through balancing, redirecting and fine-tuning the flow of energy between and within body, mind and soul.  This is ideally attained through psychospiritual healing models.
