What is lifestyle psychiatry?

man doing stetches

What we call lifestyle is also called lifestyle psychiatry or lifestyle medicine. It’s a whole-body health approach that recognizes the profound connection between your lifestyle choices (like diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, social connections, and substance consumption) and your mental well-being.

By understanding your lifestyle and creating an individualized plan to introduce and maintain positive changes, you are empowered to take an active role in your mental wellness and ensure it’s maintained.

What does lifestyle medicine look like in practice?

Lifestyle work is centered on treatment plans that are tailored to your life, individually. Like everything we provide at Carencia, lifestyle plans take every unique feature of your health and behavior into consideration.

The personalized plan can involve dietary changes, an exercise regimen, mindfulness practices, and many other specific changes to your life and routines to enable mental and physical wellness. Lifestyle medicine and psychiatry are about addressing the root causes of poor health, rather than just the symptoms, with strategies that produce change.

Why does Carencia offer lifestyle psychiatry?

Your mental health challenges are fundamentally tied to the health of your whole body. Making positive changes to your diet or fitness is about more than physical wellness – these lifestyle changes directly impact the root causes of mental health challenges you may be facing. By addressing the root causes of barriers to mental and physical wellness, we’re helping to improve lives naturally.

What we put in our bodies and how we move our bodies have a profound impact on how we feel, both mentally and physically. We are particularly passionate about nutrition and exercise – these areas of your life can be the reason why treatment works long-term or can be the root cause of a relapse.

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!

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!!

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.
