Use of Heart Assisted Therapy (HAT) is often an integral part of the psychotherapy process as appropriate with Dr. Diepold. HAT is a gentle, humanistic, and holistic model of psychotherapy, which is almost exclusively client-centered as the individual guides the flow and direction of the HAT treatment process based on self-report of thoughts, memories, images, feelings, and sensations. The HAT model is a mindful, dynamic, empowering, stabilizing, and nurturing experience that facilitates self-regulation, insight, and accelerated information processing that is system wide.
