If you’ve been facing challenges with a mental health condition and have received prescriptions for medications that often bring alongside negative side effects and limited results, it might be a good idea to consider a change. Integrative psychiatry offers more than just symptom management with medication—it’s about uncovering the deeper causes behind your mental health struggles. By blending evidence-based treatments with holistic therapies, we create a caring and personalized approach that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. With integrative psychiatry, you can find lasting relief and healing that goes beyond simply masking symptoms, helping you regain your confidence, clarity, and joy in life.
What is Integrative Psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry takes a holistic, patient-centered approach to mental health, blending traditional, evidence-based treatments with complementary therapies to address the root causes of mental health conditions. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, integrative psychiatry explores the underlying factors, such as stress, lifestyle, trauma, and biological imbalances, that contribute to conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD.
By combining medication management, lab testing, supplements, lifestyle modifications, and cutting-edge therapies like ketamine infusions, we offer a comprehensive plan tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to heal from within and achieve lasting mental wellness.
What Makes Our Approach Different?
Root-Cause Focus
Rather than simply prescribing medication to mask symptoms, we aim to understand the deeper “why.” This may involve advanced lab testing, hormone and nutrient evaluations, or exploring past trauma and stressors that may be impacting your current mental health.
Personalized Medication Management
When medication is appropriate, we tailor it to your unique biochemistry and lifestyle. We monitor effectiveness closely and make thoughtful adjustments to ensure optimal outcomes with minimal side effects.
Targeted Supplementation
We incorporate high-quality nutraceuticals to address deficiencies and support neurotransmitter function, mood regulation, and overall vitality, always based on your specific needs and lab findings.
Lifestyle & Nutrition Coaching
Mental health is intricately connected to how you eat, sleep, move, and manage stress. We provide guidance on nutrition, movement, and daily habits that strengthen your resilience and improve emotional balance.
Mind-Body Integration
We recognize the powerful connection between the mind and body. Our treatment plans may include mindfulness-based strategies, breathwork, grounding techniques, and other practices that support emotional regulation and nervous system balance.

Who is a Good Candidate for Integrative Psychiatry?
You may benefit from integrative care if you:
- Have tried medications that didn’t work or caused unwanted side effects.
- Are interested in holistic or functional approaches to mental wellness.
- Want a deeper understanding of the root causes of your mental health struggles.
- Are looking to reduce your reliance on psychiatric medications with professional support.
Why Do You Order Lab Tests as Part of Mental Health Care?
Mental health symptoms often have underlying biological contributors such as chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or metabolic dysfunction. Functional lab testing allows us to identify these root causes so we can treat them directly. This helps reduce symptoms and improve treatment outcomes in a more targeted and sustainable way.
What Kind of Lab Tests Do You Use?
Depending on your history and symptoms, we may recommend tests such as:
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) to assess inflammation.
- Homocysteine and methylation panels to evaluate mood-related pathways.
- Vitamin D, B12, and folate levels.
- Thyroid and adrenal function tests.
- Hormone panels (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol).
- Comprehensive metabolic and nutrient assessments.
All lab recommendations are personalized and explained in detail during your consultation.
Do You Offer Testing for Gut Health or Food Sensitivities?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Imbalances in the gut microbiome, food intolerances, or gastrointestinal inflammation can affect mood, cognition, and behavior. We partner with trusted laboratories to provide high-quality testing and interpretation as part of a holistic treatment plan.
Are Supplements Required as Part of Your Treatment Plans?
Not always—but many of our clients benefit from targeted supplementation to correct deficiencies, support neurotransmitter function, and enhance treatment response. We use only evidence-based protocols and offer guidance on trusted, high-quality brands to avoid unnecessary or ineffective products.
Can Supplements Replace My Psychiatric Medication?
In some cases, supplement protocols may allow for reduced reliance on medications. However, any changes to prescribed treatments are made gradually, collaboratively, and with careful clinical monitoring. Our goal is to support your body’s natural healing capacity—whether alongside medications or in a transition away from them.
What is Lifestyle Coaching and How Does It Support Mental Health?
Lifestyle coaching involves structured support in areas that directly affect mental well-being, including:
- Sleep hygiene.
- Nutrition and eating patterns.
- Physical activity and movement.
- Stress management techniques.
- Daily structure and self-care habits.
- Boundary-setting and emotional regulation skills.
Even small changes in these areas can have a profound impact on mood, anxiety, and overall functioning. We provide practical, personalized strategies and accountability to help you create lasting change.
Do you offer Mindfulness, Breathing, or Nervous System Support Techniques?
Yes. Many of our clients benefit from learning grounding exercises, breathwork, vagal tone support, and other somatic tools to calm the nervous system. These techniques can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and promote emotional resilience—and we incorporate them based on your needs and preferences.
How Long Does It Take to See Results with Integrative Care?
While each client’s journey is unique, many individuals begin to notice positive shifts within 4–6 weeks, especially when addressing nutritional and biological imbalances. That said, integrative psychiatry is a comprehensive and deeply individualized process—our focus is on long-term healing, not short-term symptom suppression.
Do You Accept Insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to deliver highly personalized and comprehensive care without the limitations of traditional insurance models. We can provide you with superbills for reimbursement and are happy to discuss payment options during your initial consultation.
