Personalized Mental Healthcare

Step 1: Your Consultation

Let's get to know each other

Begin with a free 15-minute conversation to understand what you're looking for and see if we're a good fit for your needs. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get comfortable with our approach before committing to care.

What to expect:

  • Discuss your current concerns and what brought you to seek care
  • Learn about our approach to integrative psychiatry
  • Get answers to any questions about the process
  • Determine if we're the right fit for your needs

Step 2: Initial Diagnostic Evaluation

Understanding your unique story

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute assessment where we explore your mental health history, current concerns, and goals. This in-depth evaluation allows us to develop a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs.

During this session:

  • Complete a thorough mental health and medical history
  • Discuss your symptoms, concerns, and their impact on your life
  • Explore cultural and lifestyle factors that influence your wellbeing
  • Identify potential diagnostic considerations
  • Collaborate on a personalized treatment approach

Step 3: Personalized Ongoing Care

Your path to healing and growth

Our ongoing care embraces a holistic approach addressing your mind, body, and relationships. We'll work together through regular sessions to help you bloom and build a fulfilling life aligned with your values and goals.

Blooming Within

Explore and heal what's holding you back

We continue identifying psychiatric or medical issues that might limit your ability to live fully, using therapy and (if needed) medication. This phase focuses on understanding root causes and creating a foundation for healing and growth.

Building Healthy Relationships

Strengthen how you relate to others

We focus on emotional safety, communication, and relational health — so you can connect in more meaningful and fulfilling ways. Learn to establish boundaries, improve communication, and create deeper connections with those around you.

Fully Flourishing with Lifestyle Medicine

Support your growth from the inside out

Together, we build healthy habits that support your body and mind — like sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness. This holistic approach addresses the six pillars of lifestyle medicine to help you achieve optimal wellbeing in all areas of your life.
