Integrative Psychiatry Services
-
All new patients are seen for an intake appointment during which we dive deep into the many aspects of your mind, body, and spirit that may be impacting your mental health using an integrative and functional psychiatry framework.
-
I order labs to rule out medical conditions and nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your mental health symptoms. I can also order specialized lab testing to assess adrenal, hormone, and gut function.
-
I can prescribe nutraceuticals, herbs, and supplements to support your mental health. If you are already taking supplements, I can help you optimize your regimen and make sure there are no medication interactions.
-
A well-nourished brain is one of the foundations of holistic mental health, and recent studies have shown that nutrition can have a powerful effect on psychiatric symptoms. We will take a careful look at your diet and formulate a plan to support your brain with nutrition.
-
We discuss your habits and routines and come up with a plan to adjust your lifestyle to support flourishing mental health. This can include working on things like movement, restorative sleep, stress management, and relationship to technology. I support you in making realistic changes that you can sustain over time.
-
If I do think you will benefit from a medication, I emphasize informed consent and make sure you understand the risks and benefits. I use the lowest effective dose possible to minimize side effects.
-
I can help you reduce or stop psychotropic medication(s) if clinically indicated. Many patients struggle with withdrawal symptoms when stopping medications, and I have learned that a careful taper combined with lifestyle interventions can help people successfully discontinue meds. Supporting people who want to come off of medications is a passion of mine, and I have published on this topic.
-
I am trained in several modalities of psychotherapy including psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and motivational interviewing. I have done additional training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the New Center for Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles.
-
Support in processing past psychedelic experiences.
A powerful psychedelic experience can sometimes be like being given a seed of insight. I can help you make a plan to nurture and tend to that seed so it can take root and bloom in your daily life.
Psychedelic experiences can also sometimes be extremely disruptive and result in new symptoms - if this is the case, we’ll come up with a plan to support you and bring you back into balance.
-
I offer in-office ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions using sublingual ketamine lozenges.
