Our Story

A story of vision, growth, and purpose.

At Holistic Wellness & Psychiatry, our story is one of vision, growth, and purpose. What started in a small space with a big dream has evolved into a transformative movement in mental health care.

We're not keeping up with the future of mental health care

We're shaping it.

Our journey began in a small two-bedroom, one-bath property in North Liberty, where founder Laurie McCormick set out to redefine what mental health treatment could be.

She envisioned a space where patients could receive comprehensive, innovative, and deeply personal care — combining advanced psychiatric treatments with holistic healing modalities. Her mission was to move beyond symptom management and instead address the root causes of mental health challenges.

By integrating functional medicine and offering cutting-edge treatments like ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, the clinic provides a pathway not just for symptom relief, but for deep, lasting recovery from depression, anxiety, and related conditions.

From the very beginning

A small space. A big dream.

What we stand for

Built on the foundation of whole-person healing.

The mission Laurie set out with — and the one the practice still operates under across two locations today.

01

Whole-person care

Comprehensive, innovative, and deeply personal care — combining advanced psychiatric treatments with holistic healing modalities.

02

Root causes, not just symptoms

We move beyond symptom management to address the underlying drivers of mental health challenges — biological, environmental, and emotional.

03

Cutting-edge & integrative

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and functional medicine, offered alongside (not instead of) evidence-based psychiatric care.

04

Expanding access

Bringing high-quality, integrative mental health care to communities — including underserved ones — and continuing to grow.

Every space tells a story

The evolution of our practice locations — from a small two-bed, one-bath in North Liberty to two clinics across two coastlines.

Then

A two-bed, one-bath start

Founder Laurie McCormick begins the practice in a small property in North Liberty, Iowa — setting out to redefine what mental health treatment could be.

Growth

The historic MOTT Building

As demand for holistic, integrative mental health care grows, Laurie moves the practice into the historic 1902 MOTT Building in downtown Cedar Rapids, nestled alongside the river.

Reach

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

Recognizing a lack of holistic mental health resources in the territory, Laurie opens a second location — bringing cutting-edge psychiatric care, KAP, and functional medicine to an underserved community.

Next

More to come

Both practices are growing. Laurie is actively seeking new opportunities to expand in Cedar Rapids, ensuring more individuals have access to the transformative care we provide.

Two clinics, one philosophy

A practice that keeps growing.

With both clinics now open, the practice continues to expand its reach — without changing the foundation it was built on. Holistic Wellness & Psychiatry is a platform that provides services to affiliated psychiatric medical practices which are independently owned and operated.

And we’re not stopping there. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to evolve and bring our unique approach to even more communities.

Two clinics — Cedar Rapids, Iowa and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands — built on the same foundation of whole-person healing.

Integration of advanced psychiatric treatment with holistic healing modalities under one roof.

Functional medicine alongside conventional psychiatry — to address root causes, not just symptoms.

Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a pathway to deep, lasting recovery from depression, anxiety, and related conditions.

A historic, river-adjacent setting in the 1902 MOTT Building — designed to feel like a place for healing.

A commitment to expanding access, including in communities that have long been underserved by specialty mental health care.
