What is conventional psychiatry?

therapy session

Treating the mind, body, and lifestyle while taking a humanistic approach to mental healthcare means utilizing traditional healthcare strategies, like medication, comprehensive lab workup, and genetic testing when indicated. By treating mental health scientifically, like all other areas of healthcare, we’re working to remove stigmas and treat communities who have never pursued mental healthcare before.

What does conventional psychiatry look like in practice?

Beginning your journey with conventional psychiatry involves an onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition into care. We’ll guide you through paperwork and insurance checks before your initial appointment, providing support and clarity.

During your first session, our focus is on building rapport and understanding your story. Together, we’ll set goals and begin crafting a tailored treatment plan that considers your unique needs.

Get Started

Throughout the treatment process, we prioritize consistency and progress through regular appointments. We’ll fine-tune your plan, explore additional therapies, and track your progress toward mental wellness.

Why does Carencia offer conventional psychiatry?

While conventional psychiatry uses more focused treatment methodologies than integrative psychiatry, at Carencia it’s no less focused on the whole person. Through the lens of conventional psychiatry and medication management, we work to understand the unique mental health challenges you’re facing and the whole-body circumstances enabled or impacted by them.

Our Success Stories

I started seeing Jesse back when they were under another name. It’s probably 6 or 7 years ago. Now that they’ve grown and have become CARENCIA, my treatment has never wavered. Though my addiction to opiates brought me to Carencia, my treatment extends beyond that. My treatment started with Jesse (..sometimes Joe), and now Sarah; what I’ve learned more than anything else is how committed the team is to their patients. Their drive for excellence in patient care and treatment is nothing short of honorable.
Thanks, Carencia!

Lloyd C.

Joseph has been a pleasure to work with and has provided me with the help I needed to get back on my feet. After working with him I feel like I am in a much better place and life has gotten easier. I would recommend Carencia for all their great work and couldn’t thank the team enough for the help they have provided me!

Christopher C.

I am a psychotherapist that has been working in the industry for 12 years, and Carencia is a standout! The level of collaboration and added consultation time, (with the clients I have referred to Jesse and team), has truly been phenomenal. When referring clients to providers for medication management, the process can often be tough, and communication between the psychiatrist/psychiatric provider and myself, can be very difficult (to say the least). With this practice, the personalized approach, and time spent with my clients to answer all questions, keep everyone informed, and provide the highest quality of care is very unique. Jesse Tucker and Carencia Mental Health are my #1 choice for referrals!!

Yancy Grimes

I would give more stars if I could. Their service is so easy to use, appointments, availability, communication, use of their virtual app. They make it simple. I have never had any issues. I have been a patient of Katie Kesterson for 2 years and she is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend them.
