The approach · four layers
Read together, measured closely.
Functional psychiatry uses talk therapy, herbal therapeutics and genetics first, and conventional medication whenever it is the right tool.
Pharmacogenomics
A cheek-swab genetic test shows how your body processes medication, turning prescribing from trial and error into a plan built on your own genetics. Tap a gene.
CYP2D6 An enzyme that clears many antidepressants, antipsychotics and ADHD medications. Fast or slow versions change how much of a dose reaches the brain.
Personalized supplementation
Targeted supplements matched to your labs and genetics, such as lithium orotate where appropriate. They are used alongside medication, not in place of it.
Physiological and metabolic balance
Sleep, metabolism and inflammation all shape mood. We look at the whole system, not only the symptom in front of us.
Long-term transformation
Care begins with a full 60-minute evaluation, then steady 30-minute medication-management visits that keep the plan measured and moving toward goals outside the office: work, home, friendship.
Rest is a treatment
Sleep is only one kind of rest.
Sleep, stretching, a slow walk. Letting the body stop bracing.
