What Is Integrative Psychiatry?

A Modern, Whole-Person Approach to Mental Health

Integrative psychiatry is a patient-centered approach to mental health care that blends traditional psychiatric treatments—like medication and psychotherapy—with evidence-based complementary therapies. These can include:

  • Nutritional counseling

  • Sleep support

  • Mind-body practices

  • Lifestyle changes

  • Targeted supplements

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, integrative psychiatry aims to identify and treat the root causes of mental health concerns. It supports healing at every level—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

 

Traditional vs. Integrative Psychiatry

Traditional Psychiatry

  • Focus on diagnosis and symptom control
  • Standardized treatment plans
  • Medication as first-line treatment
  • Less emphasis on lifestyle factors

Integrative Psychiatry

  • Focus on the whole person
  • Customized, evidence-based treatment
  • Combines medication with natural approaches
  • Emphasizes nutrition, sleep, and stress management
 

What to Expect From an Integrative Psychiatry Assessment

Your initial visit is more than a checklist of symptoms. We take time to understand:

  • Diet and digestive health

  • Sleep quality and patterns

  • Physical activity and movement

  • Stress levels and coping tools

  • Hormonal or inflammation markers

  • Personal values and goals

  • Family history

  • Environmental or lifestyle triggers

Conditions Commonly Treated

Our integrative psychiatry clinic works with clients facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Depression and mood disorders

  • ADHD and executive functioning issues

  • PTSD and trauma

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Sleep disorders

  • Substance use support

  • Chronic stress and burnout

  • Postpartum mental health

  • Cognitive fog or low motivation

 

Tools and Therapies We Use

We draw from both conventional psychiatry and complementary medicine to build your care plan. Some of the most commonly used tools include:

  • We evaluate how your diet affects your brain chemistry and inflammation, and may recommend lab testing or tailored supplements.

  • Mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, and guided relaxation help regulate the nervous system and reduce anxiety.

  • Instead of relying solely on sleep medications, we identify the causes of disrupted sleep and develop natural, sustainable strategies.

  • Physical activity improves mood and brain function. We’ll help you find ways to move that fit your lifestyle.

  • Supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, and adaptogens are used when appropriate, based on clinical evidence and lab work.

  • We coordinate with trusted therapists or recommend approaches like CBT, IFS, or EMDR that complement your treatment.
