HOLISTIC Therapy

We Take a Holistic Approach To Mental Health

At Holistic Wellness & Psychiatry, our approach to mental health care extends way beyond conventional methods. Our team of mental health professionals believes that true healing requires addressing the mind, body, and spirit, which is why our integrative holistic psychiatry services combine evidence-based practices with complementary therapies to help people overcome their unique psychological hurdles.

We strive to ensure that each patient is heard and involved as an active participant in their healthcare decisions and healing processes.

What is Psychotherapy?

Our team provides a holistic approach to understanding the root causes of mental illness and distress. We provide supportive and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help you bring about long-lasting changes in learning to stay regulated, reframe adversity as learning opportunities for growth, and achieve your goals. We believe in trauma-informed care as well as have expertise in EMDR (eye-movement desensitization reprocessing) therapy to help overcome the effects of acute and chronic PTSD and/or early attachment trauma that can interfere with successful and satisfying relationships. Our providers blend Internal Family Systems and Somatic Processing approaches with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

What is Holistic Healing Psychotherapy?

Did you ever feel like you are doing everything to maintain your physical and mental health and are still lagging? Something is missing, and you cannot figure out what it is. If the answer is yes, you probably need to consider a different approach to mental health with holistic healing. Our team of seasoned holistic therapists and integrative psychiatrists specialize in holistic healing psychotherapy.

With our holistic psychiatry approach, our patients can overcome mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. By focusing on the root cause of mental health issues, we develop bespoke treatment plans that address both your mental and physical health.

Instead of a cookie-cutter approach to mental health treatment, we leverage a wide range of therapeutic treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidence-based holistic therapy treatments.

Our goal is to make every session remarkable and useful for our clients so they can heal from within. This is why our therapy sessions also focus on the significance of physical activity, nutrition, stress management, and more for a comprehensive approach to wellness.

What is an Integrative Psychiatry Approach?

We partner with you to deep dive into 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.

We educate you about the risks and benefits of various treatment approaches and partner with you and your inner intuition to develop a tailored treatment program just for you. Our providers use nonviolent communication (NVC) principles to provide a holistic and compassionate understanding of our patients' needs and how they can better enjoy their everyday lives.

• Traditional medication management and referrals to alternative and complementary treatments when needed.
• Functional medicine approaches laboratory testing and lifestyle modification coaching with protocols including an elimination diet, genetic analyses to tailor which supplements to use, environmental detoxification, and bioenergetic approaches.
• Deep dive into understanding and treating the root causes of comorbid medical conditions and/or past trauma when needed.
• Close follow-up during medication changes—daily to weekly if needed—is recommended to ensure close monitoring of symptom improvement and to reduce the potential for any unwanted side effects.
• Easy patient portal experience to communicate with me between visits, track your symptoms, and make/modify your appointments when needed.
• Medication de-prescribing when indicated.
