Integrative Psychiatric Evaluations

An integrative psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive, whole-person assessment designed to understand not only what symptoms you are experiencing, but why they may be occurring.

Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis or medication, integrative psychiatry explores the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. This type of assessment focuses on root causes of psychiatric symptoms rather than just symptom management. The goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that supports healing, resilience, and long-term well-being.

​

Holistic Medication Management

Our medication management services go beyond symptom control. We take a whole-person, integrative approach, considering how biology, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, trauma history, and environment influence mental health.

When medications are part of your care, we focus on:

• Your personal goals and values

• Minimizing side effects

• Supporting optimal brain functions naturally

• Using the lowest effective dose when appropriate

Laboratory testing, nutritional status, and—when helpful—genetic insights are used to guide thoughtful, individualized treatment so you can function at your best in daily life.

Nutritional & Biochemical Support

Nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances can significantly affect mood, focus, sleep, and emotional regulation. In integrative psychiatry, nutrition is not an afterthought—it is foundational.

We assess and address:

• Key nutrient deficiencies (such as iron, B vitamins, vitamin D, magnesium)

• Blood sugar balance and metabolic health

• Inflammation and gut–brain connections

By correcting these underlying imbalances, we often see improvements in psychiatric symptoms and overall well-being, sometimes enhancing or even reducing the need for medication.

Weight & Metabolic Health

We recognize the close relationship between mental health, weight, metabolism, and brain function. Weight changes can be both a contributor to—and a consequence of—psychiatric symptoms and medication use.

Our approach is:

• Non-judgmental and individualized

• Focused on metabolic and hormonal health

• Mindful of medication-related weight changes

• Supportive of sustainable lifestyle shifts

The goal is not just weight management, but improved energy, mood stability, and long-term brain health.

​

Functional Psychotherapy & Therapeutic Support

Psychotherapy, often called “talk therapy,” is a powerful tool for healing and growth. For some individuals, therapy alone may be the primary treatment; for others, it works best alongside medical and nutritional support. In functional therapy, the root cause of psychiatric symptoms are again considered and addressed.

We offer an integrative blend of approaches, including:

• Supportive therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Trauma-informed and trauma-focused care

• Narrative therapy

• Dialectical and skills-based interventions

• Internal Family Systems Therapy

Therapy is always tailored to your needs, history, and nervous system, creating a safe space for meaningful change.

​

Comprehensive Diagnostics & Advanced Screening

Gaining diagnostic clarity can be deeply validating and empowering. We provide thorough evaluations to help guide treatment and self-understanding.

Our assessments may include:

• ADHD and Autism evaluations

• Mood and anxiety disorder assessments

• Trauma-informed screening

• Laboratory testing to assess biological contributors

• Genetic testing (when appropriate) to inform medication response and nutrient needs

By combining clinical expertise with functional diagnostics, we help uncover patterns that may otherwise go unnoticed—allowing for more precise, personalized care.​​

​Emotional Support Animal and Other Paperwork

Many people find support though the animals in their life. Due to this, we offer animal support paperwork. We can also provide documentation for the need of other supports, gender affirming care, academic supports, or to access other resources. This adds even more benefits to our integrative psychiatric treatment. 

​

Ketamine or Cannabis Assisted Therapy

In today’s world, many individuals struggle to fully engage with and benefit from traditional psychotherapy. Breaking down the mind’s defenses and feeling safe enough to explore our own psyche can be incredibly challenging. However, psychotherapy remains one of the most effective treatments for many psychiatric conditions, including trauma symptoms. With the support of ketamine or cannabis, we offer our clients an opportunity to embark on a transformative healing journey. This approach holds cultural significance for many communities and must be approached with the utmost reverence and respect.

​

​Nursing Home Psychiatric Consultation

In our practice, we recognize the need of psychiatric services in older adult care and the needs of nursing home facilities. Therefore, we have a specialized program designed to support nursing homes and assisted living facilities with psychiatric consultation. We have experience working with older adults and improving outcomes for facilities and individual patients. 

​Medication Assisted Substance Use Treatment

With a focus on respectful and trauma-informed substance use treatment, our practice provides substance use treatment that can be tailored to each patient's needs and may include things such as medications, therapy, and nutrition to promote an overall healthy way of living.
