Mind, Body, and Beyond —
Whole Person Mental Health Care
Integrating science, lifestyle, and alternative medicine to promote healing from the inside out.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
We truly understand the transformative spiritual healing potential of psychedelic medicine, specifically with Ketamine and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to alleviate trauma responses as well as mental illness. We are now offering in-person intramuscular and intravenous Ketamine treatments with KAP for individual treatments. Please call us for more information.
Integrative Psychiatry Approach
Our psychiatry clinic 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.
Functional Medicine Lab & Genetic Testing
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.
Weight Loss & Lifestyle Improvement
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.
Herbal & Plant Medicine Supplements
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.
