Therapy and Coaching
Your treatment plan will likely include a combination of therapy sessions and coaching focused on improving brain-healthy daily habits and improving your executive functioning. The frequency and intensity of therapy and coaching will be determined based on your progress.
Regular sessions create a structured environment for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, to problem-solve, to address challenges in your personal relationships, and to build emotional resilience. Coaching provides the support and accountability to allow you to build consistent habits to improve brain health and overall health. We find that coaching is the key to follow-through that leads to success.
Integrative Psychiatry & Medication Management
Our Integrative Psychiatrist will order lab tests to measure hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic markers, to gain a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s unique biological makeup. This informs pharmacological interventions and treatment. One of the key advantages is the ability to identify and address biochemical issues, such as low serotonin levels, high levels of toxins, inflammation levels and vitamin deficiencies, that all impact your mood, your ability to cope with stress, and your overall cognitive functioning.

Your program will be customized to your specific needs and challenges. Our goal is to help you receive the treatments and develop the habits that will optimize your psychological and cognitive health. The key is not to short-change yourself. All of the evidence shows that the structure and support of a treatment team is key to making long-lasting changes. Frequency of therapy, coaching, and integrative psychiatry sessions will be assessed and may decrease as improvements emerge.
Remember, perfection is not required, but support to help you build and maintain new healthy habits is essential to long-term success.
