IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IA AND ST THOMAS, USVI
(In-person & Telemedicine Are Available)
Our goal is to provide cutting-edge, compassionate, and confidential mental health care that addresses the root causes of mental health disorders.
Dr. Laurie McCormick, the founder, is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and Integrative/Holistic Family Physician, as well as
IPI and Numinus Trained & Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist & Ketamine Provider, and IFM Trained Functional Medicine Provider.
We aim to reduce the trial-and-error approach commonly used in Western Medicine by obtaining a more in-depth understanding of all the genetic/inherited, environmental, cultural, and transgenerational factors that impact your health and well-being. We want to help you not just survive but thrive!
Our clinicians are all well-trained and have many years of clinical experience. They are committed to taking the time to truly understand you and the problems you are facing and collaborate with your other providers when needed. Our staff is very responsive and attentive to the needs of our patients/clients at every step of the journey.
We are committed to providing revolutionary mental health care approaches and treatments to help you become a better version of yourself and live more optimally.
Our holistic approach takes into account all the factors that impact your health (genetic, environmental, early childhood trauma, and social/cultural aspects that impact spiritual, mind, body, and lifestyle) to discover the root causes of your symptoms to not only treat but heal and correct underlying causes of illness.
Which is often spiritual (early attachment, transgenerational, interrelational) trauma, to reduce or eliminate dependency on pharmaceuticals and heal, not just manage trauma or debilitating mental states.
Our psychiatry providers are trained to provide holistic care that addresses the root causes of mental and physical illness, taking into account genetic predisposition, early childhood trauma, lifestyle, and interpersonal connections. We provide treatment options that include traditional and complementary medicine approaches.
Our therapists are experts in trauma-informed care and offer EMDR as well as traditional supportive and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help change thoughts and behavior to reduce reactivity and remain grounded during life’s ups and downs. Our therapists are learning to assist with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and will be offering that treatment soon.
In addition to traditional lab testing, we offer a variety of GI tests to determine gluten sensitivity, SIBO or leaky gut conditions, autoimmune, Lyme disease, hormones, vitamins, and methylation to determine genetic age as well as extensive heritability assessments with Self Decode and Genesight testing.
In conjunction with traditional medicine, we also prescribe nutraceutical supplements from a functional medicine perspective when needed. We will discuss which vitamins and minerals may be needed when taking certain medications, anti-inflammatory approaches to autoimmune disorders, hormonal options in middle age, and alternative approaches to augment or replace traditional psychotropics.
We provide a comprehensive range of mental health services, combining conventional and integrative approaches to psychiatry and psychotherapy. Our offerings include specialized Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) options, tailored to meet the needs of individuals facing diverse challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD or trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or eating disorders, our compassionate and evidence-based care is designed to support your journey toward healing and improved well-being.
I have been a patient of Dr. McCormick’s for approximately 6 years. And what an amazing journey it has been.
I was at a very low point in my life, and very fortunate for me, Dr. McCormick was working the day I was at a local medical facility for much-needed help. Since that day, my life has changed dramatically for the better, with the help of Dr. McCormick. Instead of feeling like another number in the system, I immediately felt the honest and genuine care for myself and the issues in my life by Dr. McCormick.” I have, and continue to learn more about myself, and use this information to improve my life, in every aspect. In the past, I had never interacted with anyone I could completely trust and open up to with %100 honesty. With this confidence and trust in Dr. McCormick, my life’s journey has definitely changed for the better, more than I ever thought possible. With this being said, I am extremely fortunate that Dr. McCormick is my healthcare provider. I look forward to my appointments, as each time I learn valuable knowledge about myself, and those around me. “ Priceless “ is a word that immediately comes to mind. D.P.
