Holistic

The art and science of healing that
addresses the care of the whole person, mind, body and spirit.

Functional (Root Cause) Psychiatry

• An integrative, science-based approach that promotes healing and wellness by focusing on the bio-chemically unique aspects of each patient, and then individually tailors interventions to restore physiological, psychological, and structural balance.
• Focuses on understanding the fundamental physiological processes, the environmental inputs and the genetic predispositions that influence health and disease.  
• Interventions address the roots of the problem.

Environmental Psychiatry

• Addresses brain related symptoms induced by exposures to biological and chemical agents encountered in air, food and water and electromagnetic fields.

Telehealth /
​Telepsychiatry

With the onset of COVID 19, we have made all evaluations and follow-up appointments via telehealth. My current licensure includes Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Florida.  Please check with our office about options if you are interested, but not in one of those states.  A number of states have changes in their regulations during COVID19.  Separately, non-patient phone consultations are available.

Telehealth/Telepsychiatry:

•  allows patients who do not have access to a holistic/functional medicine psychiatrist to receive treatment
• allows patients (or their family members) to stay in the comfort of their own home, without having to take time to drive anywhere, or take time off from work. 
• allows patients to have family members (in other locations) join sessions.

The technology that is used is secure and complies with HIPPA requirements.
