Psychiatry Services in Cedar Rapids, IA and St Thomas, USVI

At Holistic Wellness and Psychiatry, our approach to psychiatry services goes beyond traditional mental health care, emphasizing the integration of mind, body, and spirit for comprehensive well-being. Our psychiatrists combine advanced medical expertise with holistic principles to address a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, eating disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders.

When you seek care at Holistic Wellness and Psychiatry, your journey begins with a thorough, compassionate assessment that explores not only your symptoms and medical history but also your lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, stress levels, and overall wellness. We recognize that mental health is deeply connected to physical and emotional health, so we may also recommend appropriate laboratory tests to better understand your unique needs.

Your psychiatrist will collaborate with you to craft a personalized treatment plan that may include evidence-based medication management, psychotherapy (talk therapy), mindfulness practices, nutrition and exercise guidance, and recommendations for complementary therapies such as yoga, meditation, or acupuncture. Our goal is to empower you with tools and strategies that support healing on every level.

At Holistic Wellness and Psychiatry, we provide ongoing support through regular follow-up appointments, where we monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. We believe that true healing takes place in a supportive environment, so our psychiatrists often work closely with other healthcare professionals—such as psychologists, therapists, nutritionists, and primary care providers—to deliver truly integrated, patient-centered care.

Through our holistic approach to psychiatry, we aim to help you manage your symptoms, restore balance, and improve your quality of life—supporting you on your path to lasting wellness and recovery.

At Holistic Wellness and Psychiatry, we recognize that true mental health care is multifaceted, integrating both medical and therapeutic approaches to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our practice offers both psychiatry services and psychotherapy, understanding that each plays a unique and complementary role in achieving holistic wellness.

Psychiatry involves more than just medical management; it is a comprehensive approach to diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. As medical doctors, our psychiatrists are equipped to prescribe medications when appropriate, order lab tests, and assess how physical health and lifestyle factors influence mental well-being. Our training enables us to manage complex psychiatric conditions, always considering the individual’s overall health and personal goals. We emphasize collaboration with our patients and other providers, integrating medication management with lifestyle modifications, mindfulness practices, and other holistic interventions.

Psychotherapy is another vital component of our holistic model. Our team of licensed therapists—including psychologists, counselors, and clinical social workers—provides a variety of evidence-based talk therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. Through compassionate, individualized sessions, we help clients explore and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, providing support and practical strategies for lasting change. While our psychotherapists do not prescribe medication, they work closely with our psychiatrists to ensure seamless, coordinated care when both services are needed.

Your consultation begins with a warm introduction and an overview of what to expect during your visit. We encourage you to share your reasons for seeking help, whether you are experiencing emotional challenges, changes in behavior, troubling symptoms, or simply want to improve your overall well-being.

Our psychiatrists will take time to understand your complete health story. This includes exploring your current mental and physical health, past medical or psychiatric history, family background, lifestyle factors, and any medications or supplements you use. We may also discuss your childhood, important relationships, work or school environment, nutrition, exercise habits, and recent life events. By considering these factors, we gain a holistic understanding of your unique situation.

In line with our integrative philosophy, you may be asked about your sleep, stress levels, substance use, mood, and daily routines. We may use standardized questionnaires to better understand specific concerns like anxiety or depression. Every step of the way, you are encouraged to speak openly—your privacy is always respected.

If appropriate, we may conduct a gentle mental state examination, observing elements such as your mood, thought processes, and cognitive abilities. This is not a test, but a way to appreciate your current experience and provide tailored support.

At the end of your session, we will share our initial impressions and discuss a personalized care plan. Treatment options may include integrative therapies, medication, lifestyle modifications, mindfulness practices, nutrition recommendations, or referrals to other holistic specialists. We welcome your questions and concerns, working collaboratively to create a care plan that feels right for you.
