We prefer to call mental health Brain Health. Our aim is to decrease any stigma surrounding brain health services. The Brain is an organ able to adapt and mold as a result of our experiences and environment. This is called plasticity. The Brain is able to improve over time! This is great news!
We use an integrative/functional approach to achieving optimal brain health. This means we wont just prescribe a medication. We will try to get to the root cause of your anxiety, depression, or any other mental illness.
We do a thorough intake. We look at family history, genetics, lifestyle, past experiences, past medical history and treatments.
The treatment plan is an integrative one. nutrition, lifestyle, therapy, and medication all have a place in our treatment plan.
