A functional approach to mental health care. Our bodies don’t make mistakes. We just need to rearrange the puzzle pieces.
Our services
Assessment and Diagnosis
It all begins with telling your story. We take the time to ask questions, learn your story and what you are looking for, help put a name to some of your symptoms, and develop a collaborative plan moving forward to jump start feeling more like yourself again. We believe the more you know about how your body works, the better you will be equipped to take care of it.
Referral to Psychiatric Testing
We may decide we need a little more in-depth psychological testing to explore the depth of different diagnoses, clarify or confirm diagnoses (autism, for example), or simply help you to gain a clearer understanding of how your brain works. In this case, we can refer you to a number of different psychologists in the area to complete further testing.
Psychiatric Medication Management
Medications can be a useful tool in helping to curb the intensity or manage the frequency of mental health symptoms. Although they are only one piece to the puzzle, medications can be an important initial intervention in helping to improve mood, energy and motivation, and therefore helping to set the pace for learning new coping skills and making more sustainable life style changes to help improve both mental and physical health.
With equal importance, we like to explore the option of adding nutraceuticals (vitamins and supplements) in helping to manage symptoms, as well as to explore diet and lifestyle changes.
Collaboration with Providers in Community
Are you wanting to start with medication and/or nutritional interventions but are also in search of a mental health therapist, a primary care provider, a dietician or a functional medicine provider? Collaborating with a vast number of wonderful providers within the community in both conventional and integrative health, we would be happy to provide referrals to help you make connections and find the right support.
Comprehensive Lab Testing & Evaluation
At our outpatient psychiatric practice, we take a comprehensive approach to mental health and recognize that the body and mind are deeply connected. When clinically appropriate, we offer comprehensive laboratory testing because factors such as nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, inflammation, and other underlying health concerns can significantly impact overall well-being and mental health. By looking beyond symptoms alone, we aim to identify contributing factors and create a more individualized, whole-person treatment plan.
