About Holistic Psychotherapy
We do our best to cope with life’s challenges. When something we do appears to work, we repeat it, and over time it becomes a habit. Sometimes, however, the very habits that once seemed to help us begin to work against us, leaving us feeling trapped by addiction, unsatisfying relationships, or self-limiting beliefs.
Therapy offers an opportunity to step back from these habits, understand how they develope, and begin coping in new ways. Just as harm so often occurs within relationships, so too can healing. Together, we create a safe, respectful space where you can explore your experiences honestly, without judgment or pressure to conform to familiar roles.
We have a natural ability to heal. Just as the body repairs physical injuries, the mind naturally moves toward balance and wholeness. Beneath life's struggles lies a quieter state of calm, connection, and belonging. Healing is the gradual return to that state.
My Approach to Psychotherapy
My approach is grounded in present-moment awareness and genuine human connection. My style is relaxed and conversational. Together, we bring awareness, curiosity, openness, and respect to your inner experience. You can then begin to recognize the beliefs, habits, and relational patterns that have shaped your life—and understand where they came from. With that understanding, old coping strategies gradually loosen their hold. Emotions become a source of information and guidance rather than something to fear and bury. Changes that begin in therapy naturally extend into everyday life.
Therapy unfolds at a pace that feels safe while still supporting meaningful progress. Our work is collaborative: I offer guidance and structure while respecting your experience and readiness.
About Jonathan Chisholm, LMHC
My interest in psychotherapy stems from my own experience. As I worked through old issues, I discovered a sense of freedom and peace that I had not known. That experience inspired me to dedicate my life to this healing art. It is a true pleasure to see that same freedom develop in my clients.
I hold a master's degree in Holistic Counseling as well as a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Mental Health from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, and have been in clinical practice since 2001. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I take several local insurance plans (listed below).
I provide holistic psychotherapy for adults and teens through in-person therapy in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and online therapy throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, addiction, codependency, and the lasting effects of difficult childhood experiences.
Getting Started
Complete the contact form with your name, phone number, email address, and a brief description of what brings you to therapy.
We’ll then schedule a brief phone conversation to discuss your needs, answer your questions, and give you a chance to see whether we’re a good fit. When we’ve scheduled our first appointment, I’ll send you the intake forms to complete beforehand. This way we can focus on you rather than paperwork.
I look forward to hearing from you.
