Integrative & Holistic Psychiatry
Your mind and body are deeply interconnected. Stress, trauma, sleep, nutrition, inflammation, and daily habits all influence how you feel emotionally. In integrative psychiatry, we look at the full picture — not just symptoms — to understand how physical health may be shaping your mental well‑being.
This whole‑person approach helps us identify patterns, root causes, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, mood changes, or burnout. When we understand the full story, we can create a treatment plan that supports both your emotional and physical health.
What Integrative & Holistic Psychiatry Includes
- Comprehensive evaluations that explore physical health, emotional patterns, sleep, nutrition, stress, trauma history, and daily routines
- Medication management, when helpful, is paired with non‑medication strategies
- Supportive counseling to help you understand your symptoms and build resilience
- Lifestyle‑based recommendations such as sleep hygiene, nutrition awareness, movement, exercise, and stress‑reduction practices
- Mind‑body approaches that support nervous system regulation and emotional balance
- Collaboration with other providers (therapy, primary care, nutrition, etc.) when appropriate
Whole‑person care for mind, body, and story
- Integrative & Holistic Psychiatry looks beyond symptoms and diagnoses.
- It considers your full lived experience — your biology, environment, relationships, personal identity, stress patterns, culture, spirituality, physical health, and the meaning you make of your life.
- This approach blends evidence‑based psychiatric care with supportive, lifestyle‑focused strategies that help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered.
- Our goal is simple: to support your mental health in a way that honors the whole you.
- This approach is flexible and tailored — never one‑size‑fits‑all.
How We Approach Supplements in Mental Health Care
- Supplements can play a supportive role in mental health treatment, but they are never used as a stand‑alone solution. They are used to complement your treatment, not replace it.
- In our practice, supplements are considered thoughtfully, safely, and only when they make sense for your overall treatment plan.
- We never assume supplements are right for everyone. They are simply one tool among many that may support mood, sleep, stress regulation, or overall well‑being.
- Our approach is grounded in three principles: safety, evidence, and personalization.
Nutrition as a Foundation for Mental Health
The way we nourish our bodies can influence energy, mood, sleep, and stress regulation. In our practice, we explore nutrition in a simple, supportive way — never restrictive, never judgmental.
Our approach may include:
- Understanding how certain foods affect mood and energy
- Exploring eating patterns that support emotional balance
- Identifying nutritional gaps that may impact well‑being
- Encouraging sustainable, realistic changes that fit your life
- We focus on small, meaningful shifts — not perfection.
- Nutrition becomes one more tool that supports your healing, alongside therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and mind‑body practices.
