What do you mean by integrative and somatic?

When we talk about integrative medication management and somatic-based psychotherapy, we're referring to holistic approaches to mental health and well-being that combine various treatment methods.

Integrative Medication Management: This refers to a comprehensive approach to using medications that take into account not just traditional pharmaceuticals, but also complementary and alternative therapies. This approach aims to balance both conventional treatments (like antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications) and integrative options (such as herbal remedies, supplements, or lifestyle changes like diet and exercise). The goal is to treat the whole person by combining the best of multiple approaches, while considering the individual’s unique needs and preferences.

Somatic-Based Psychotherapy: Somatic psychotherapy focuses on the mind-body connection and how trauma or emotional stress can manifest physically in the body. "Somatic" refers to the body, and in this form of therapy, the emphasis is on helping individuals become more aware of their bodily sensations, movements, and responses. The idea is that emotions, particularly trauma, can reside in the body, leading to tension or discomfort if not felt or expressed. Through various techniques—such as breath-work, mindfulness, movement, or awareness of physical sensations—somatic psychotherapy helps release this stored tension, allowing for healing and emotional processing.

What does a typical appointment look like?

Initial sessions are generally 60 to 90 minutes and include a thorough and detailed physical, mental, emotional and spiritual history and assessment.

Medication management follow-up appointments are generally 30 minutes and in addition to medication review, also include brief person-centered psychotherapy. Lifestyle education and modifications are an integral part of my practice, so we frequently talk about sleep, nutrition, exercise, chronic stress and related topics. For some patients, lifestyle changes are recommended before initiating any psychiatric medications.

Psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes.

Appointments are as unique as each patient and are tailored to each individuals specific needs. We talk. We breathe. We feel what’s happening in our bodies. We even laugh.
