Jodie Skillicorn, DO, ABIHM is a holistic integrative psychiatrist who believes strongly in the body’s innate healing powers. In her virtual Ohio-based practice, she combines mindfulness and somatic-based psychotherapy with a variety of complementary modalities that assist the healing process. These may include mindfulness, breath-work, yoga, energy psychology, energy medicine, guided imagery, biofeedback, exercise, EMDR, eco-therapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and supplements. She tailors techniques based on the needs and interests of her patients. She continually seeks to learn about additional modalities through research and training opportunities that serve to enhance the healing process.
Her passion is in guiding, supporting, and teaching her patients self-care techniques that help balance their bodies and minds, thus empowering them to take an active role in their own unique healing journeys on the road to optimal health. These skills may also help in reducing and often eliminating the need for medications.
