Integrative Psychiatry Services


Our Integrative Psychiatry Services focus on optimizing our patients' overall health and well-being, with support from a compassionate team of clinicians and dedicated staff. We employ a holistic approach to mental health care that treats the whole person, integrating mental, physical, and emotional health for comprehensive, personalized care.




WHOLE-BODY HEALING

Our Integrated Approach

At Hightop Health, we don’t simply manage top-level symptoms. We recognize treating mental health takes more than an algorithm-based approach. Our clinicians are encouraged to use an integrative approach to treat each patient’s condition—regardless of what’s been tried before. We use all the tools in our toolbox and don’t give up until we’ve found the right solution for each patient.

Optimizing overall mental health requires understanding the psychological, biological, and environmental influences on conditions like depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). At Hightop Health, each clinic considers lifestyle as part of our comprehensive mental health care approach. Our treatments for various conditions go beyond medication, emphasizing the importance of behavior changes, talk therapy, and a focus on physical wellness as essential components of treatment.

HOW IT WORKS

Understanding Integrative Psychiatry Services

Integrative psychiatry emphasizes the whole-body health of individuals, recognizing the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. This approach allows us to build a personalized and integrative treatment plan that considers how all aspects of a person’s life affect their overall health. 

In integrative psychiatry, we focus on understanding the root causes of mental health issues. This involves examining a person’s physical health, emotional state, lifestyle, and social environment. Considering these factors, we can more accurately diagnose conditions and tailor treatment plans that address any underlying issues.

Another crucial aspect of premier integrative psychiatry care is to ensure that the ramifications of untreated mental illnesses are addressed while patients engage in comprehensive care.  It is well known that many individuals with mental illnesses have higher-than-expected rates of serious, chronic physical illnesses, such as insulin resistance and diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and even cardiovascular illness. These consequences of mental illnesses must be addressed concurrently with the mental illnesses themselves. Integrative psychiatry views mental health from both above and below the neck.

 

We combine conventional psychiatric treatments with complementary therapies, which may include mindfulness practices, nutrition counseling, exercise programs, and alternative treatments such as acupuncture or yoga.

Our integrative approach helps to promote overall well-being and can increase the effectiveness of traditional treatments. Additionally, our clinician-centric environment inspires collaboration among healthcare professionals to ensure a well-rounded and cohesive care plan, further enhancing patients’ quality of life and functionality, in addition to symptom management.

Integrative Psychiatry Services can be particularly effective for treating various mental health conditions, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. By focusing on the whole person rather than just the symptoms, our providers help patients achieve long-term mental health and optimal well-being. Our personalized approach ensures patients receive the care and support they need to lead healthier, more balanced lives.
