Food Therapy: Nutritional Psychology/ Psychiatry
Nutritional Psychology/psychiatry looks at how food, nutrients and the gut microbiome affect brain health and emotional well-being. This emerging field looks at how the food we eat — and the bacteria in our gut — affects our mental and emotional health that when impaired can also impact your spiritual health.
The Sozo Institute provides hand tailored nutritional plans that support brain-gut function, helping you regulate mood and reduce stress in the body. We develop anti-inflammatory plans unique to your constitution— physical attributes, physiological habits, mental patterns, and emotional tendencies and medical-mental health condition.
Our meal plans target gut-brain axis dysbiosis and support restoration of key neurotransmitters—primarily serotonin and dopamine—so you feel more balanced, energized, and resilient.
What we do:
Reduce dysbiosis: focused, evidence-informed food choices and meal timing that favor microbial diversity and reduce inflammation in the gut.
Support neurotransmitter synthesis: include nutrient-dense sources of tryptophan, tyrosine, B-vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and omega-3s to promote serotonin and dopamine production and regulation.
Stabilize blood sugar and inflammation: low-glycemic carbohydrates, adequate protein, healthy fats, and fiber to prevent mood- and energy-disrupting swings.
Promote gut lining and immune health: foods rich in prebiotics, fermented items (as tolerated), collagen-supporting amino acids, and polyphenols to help repair the intestinal barrier and modulate immune signaling to the brain.
Individualized and trauma-informed: meal plans are personalized for medical history, medications, digestive sensitivities, and the stressors that affect eating and gut function.
Empowerment Coaching
Kingdom-focused empowerment coaching is a specialized form of coaching that helps individuals build confidence, self esteem, overcome self-limiting beliefs, and take control of their lives to achieve personal and professional growth.
Rooted Kingdom principles and concepts, true personal growth cannot separated from the True Vine.
“I am the True Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit” John 15:1-3
Somatic Psychology
Somatic psychotherapy is a body-centered therapeutic approach that integrates the mind and body to address trauma, stress, and emotional issues to promote holistic healing. We offer a variety of somatic interventions such as mindfulness, breath work, dance/movement and utilizing techniques from innovative trauma-informed models such as Polyvagal Theory to treat C-PTSD/ Trauma, Depression, Anxiety and more.
We educate and provide treatment focusing on the body-mind and how emotions appear within the cellular matrix of the body tissue. “Our issues are in our tissues” ~ Ms. Amira Rajput, M.A., CRNC, CHLC, Certified Trauma Specialist
We recognize that traumatic memories, stress responses, and learned defensive patterns are mapped in the brain and body. Effective healing requires interventions that address:
Neurobiology: Techniques that downregulate the defensive nervous system (polyvagal-informed practices, breathwork, paced movement) to restore regulation and increase prefrontal cortex engagement for clearer, intentional choice-making.
Memory reconsolidation: Gentle, therapeutic processes that allow maladaptive emotional memories to be safely reprocessed, weakening their automatic influence over thoughts, sensations, and behavior.
Interoception and somatic integration: Body-centered work that strengthens awareness of internal cues, helping clients detect, tolerate, and transform somatic signals tied to trauma and spiritual wounding.
Science and Faith-Based Inner & Deliverance Healing
We are a very unique clinic. The Sozo Institute integrates faith-centered deliverance and spiritual integration: Spiritually sensitive care that attends to spiritual needs and deliverance within a safe, professionally guided framework, integrating prayer with discernment while achieving clinical best practices from highly trained practitioners.
We pair these elements with measurable, practical tools so clients experience not only relief but neural reorganization—fewer automatic triggers, greater emotional regulation, and increased freedom in relationship with self, others, and God. Our clinicians collaborate across disciplines to tailor plans that respect each person’s story, biology, and beliefs, producing sustainable healing at the level of mind, brain, body, and spirit.
