What Makes Body & Mind Different
Minimum 60-Minute Sessions
We never rush you. Every session is a minimum of 60 minutes — and often runs longer. Because real progress takes real time, and our clients deserve that.
We Tell You What We See
We don’t just listen and reflect. We identify what’s driving the problem, name it clearly, and tell you exactly what we recommend. Less guessing. More forward movement.
Therapy. Coaching. Mentorship. Direction.
Most practices offer one. We offer all four — combined and tailored specifically to what you need. There is no other practice in Windsor that genuinely does this.
Always Growing
Rick believes that great clinicians never stop learning. In addition to 30+ years of clinical experience, Rick is furthering his studies with advanced graduate work at the University of Guelph — because after 36,000 sessions, he believes he is just getting started.
The Right Approach Makes the Difference
Some people are dealing with stress, anxiety, or something that hasn’t been resolved.

What Our Clients Say
Real letters. Real results. Real people — from Windsor and across the region.
"After 5 years of pain and six medical doctors, I was told I was physically fine — yet I was in debilitating pain and unable to function. It is now 6 weeks later and I am totally PAIN FREE. You have helped me more than everyone else in the last five years all put together. Thank you for giving me my life back."
Robert B.
Windsor, Ontario
"The most amazing part about working with Rick is that he makes the healing process possible without drama and pain. Issues I had carried for 27 years were simply recognized and released, leaving me feeling a sense of contentment I'd only dreamed of. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone with anger or trauma issues. He doesn't judge or criticize — but he won't let you lie to yourself either."
Heather N.
Windsor
"I have my M.A. in Counseling Psychology, an M.B.A., and over 35 years of psychological training. Over 10 years as a well-trained hypnotist. I had not been able to budge my own problematic block — Rick Saruna was able to help me. And he did it in a noisy hallway of a restaurant. He's the best I've ever worked with or seen."
Bill Scimone
M.A. Counseling Psychology, M.B.A.
"When I first came to Body & Mind I was desperate and broken. After only a few sessions, I began to notice a dramatic change in my thinking. By the end of my program I felt like an entirely different person. My wife and I — whose relationship had strained to the point of near collapse — are now stronger than ever. I also have to mention how great Patti was. She always made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in."

Common Questions
Still have questions? Call us now!
Is this just counselling or therapy?
Not at all — and that’s one of the most important things to understand about Body & Mind. While we do offer individual and family counselling, we go much further. Depending on your situation, Rick may use clinical hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), his own developed process called RERE (Rapid Emotional Release & Empowerment), structured coaching programs, or a combination of methods. The goal is never just to talk about the problem — it’s to identify the root cause and create a clear, actionable path forward. Less theory. More direction. More results.
Do you use hypnosis?
Hypnosis is one of several tools we use — but it is not the primary focus for most clients. Rick is a certified Hypnosis Instructor and uses clinical hypnosis where it is the right fit. However, many clients are better served by RERE (Rapid Emotional Release & Empowerment) — a process Rick developed over 30 years that quickly removes emotional attachments to memories without requiring you to relive the experience. This is particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, phobias, and long-standing emotional patterns. If you’re not sure which approach is right for you, the free 30-minute evaluation will make that clear.
How quickly will I see results?
Many clients notice meaningful change within their first few sessions. Unlike traditional therapy that can take months or years of weekly talk sessions, our approach is designed to identify what’s driving the problem and address it directly. Some clients have reported significant breakthroughs in a single session. Results vary depending on the complexity of the situation, but our approach is always goal-oriented — we’re not here to have you come back indefinitely. We’re here to help you move forward.
Do I need multiple sessions?
Most situations require more than one session, but we do not operate on an open-ended, indefinite model. From the beginning, Rick works to understand your situation fully, create a plan, and move toward a clear outcome. Some programs are structured with a defined number of sessions. Others are more flexible. Either way, you’ll always know what the plan is and why. We don’t keep people coming back unnecessarily — our goal is your independence and empowerment, not your dependence on us.
What is RERE — Rapid Emotional Release & Empowerment?
RERE is a process developed by Rick Saruna over 30+ years and thousands of clinical sessions. It works by quickly removing the emotional charge attached to a specific memory or experience — without requiring you to relive or retell the painful experience in detail. Unlike some trauma approaches that can be retraumatizing, RERE allows you to view past experiences from a place of safety and release the emotional attachment rapidly and effectively. It has been used successfully for trauma, anxiety, anger, phobias, grief, and a wide range of emotional challenges. It is one of the most powerful tools we offer and something you will not find anywhere else in Windsor or Essex County.
What is Thought Shifting?
Thought Shifting: How to Remove the Negative Inner Voice in 30 Days is a book authored by Rick Saruna, based on his clinical work over three decades. The concepts within it — including how to interrupt negative thought patterns, reframe internal dialogue, and build lasting mental resilience — are also woven into many of his sessions and programs. If you struggle with a persistent inner critic, self-doubt, or negative self-talk that holds you back, this approach addresses it directly. Ask about it during your free evaluation.
How is your free evaluation different from other clinics?
Most clinics offer a 10 to 15 minute introductory call. Ours runs a minimum of 30 minutes — and often longer — because we believe you cannot properly understand someone’s situation in 10 or 15 minutes. By the end of your evaluation you will have a clear sense of what we think is driving your situation, what approach we would recommend, and what working with us would look like. There is no pressure and no obligation. We simply want to make sure that if you choose to work with us, we are genuinely the right fit for what you need.
