What is integrative psychiatry?

Integrative psychiatry is a holistic approach to mental health care that combines traditional psychiatric methods with complementary therapies, focusing on the whole person to empower complete wellness. By emphasizing the mind, body, and lifestyle, integrative psychiatry addresses the root causes of issues and promotes mental wellness.

Just as integrative psychiatry involves considering the whole person, the individualized treatment plan we create for you may involve strategies that engage the mind, body, and lifestyle in pursuit of comprehensive improvement.

What does integrative psychiatry look like in practice?

The integrative psychiatry process begins with onboarding. During an initial appointment, we help you through all relevant paperwork and insurance information, then we get to know you. 

Through discussion, we build rapport and work to truly understand what you’re experiencing and what the whole-body causes may be. Then, we start setting goals and building a treatment strategy with milestones that address the mind, body, and lifestyle.

Then, we support your progress with regular appointments, additional treatments, and constant goal tracking.
