WHOLE PERSON ASSESSMENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Clinical assessment that sees the whole person.
The Holistic Wellness Questionnaire is a comprehensive clinical tool spanning 10 domains of wellbeing. Developed over a decade of integrative clinical practice, it surfaces the upstream conditions that shape mental and emotional health and that standard intake frameworks often miss.
ABOUT THIS TOOL
Built for the clinician who recognizes that emotional health has upstream causes
Most assessment frameworks ask about self-reported symptoms. The HWQ asks what conditions are actually shaping those symptoms. How someone feels doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is shaped by a myriad of factors that are often missed.
​
The HWQ was developed to give clinicians a structured, comprehensive way to surface these upstream factors and make them legible within a therapeutic or coaching context. It is not designed to diagnose symptoms or disorders. It is a reflective clinical framework designed to reveal the full landscape of a person's life so that care can be both targeted and truly whole-person.

The HWQ represents more than a decade of cross-disciplinary clinical study and the recognition that the factors most responsible for human suffering are rarely the ones standard models are built to address. HFPI exists to change that.
