Integrative Psychiatry works with functional medicine, natural treatments and strategic counseling. My goal is to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental environment in which you feel you are "not simply a diagnosis." I want you to feel heard and understood. The first session, in particular, is about establishing connection. With that said, â??connectionâ?? is a goal of all sessions. With connection comes hope. With hope people are motivated to engage in the healing process. Healthcare generally focuses on the treatment of emergencies, and conventional medicine excels in treating emergencies. Our approach is truly holistic. The Health And Wellness Form, the blueprint for the first session, covers every aspect of your life, including body, mind, spirit, creative outlets, hobbies, recreation, social and love relationships, toxic exposure, and sense of purpose. The number 1 reason people began seeking out CAM clinicians in the 1980â??s was â??spirituality.â?? This is about your spirituality, not ours, and it has to do with what feeds and energizes â??the totality of you,â?? who or what you connect to deeply, and what gives your life purpose.
