What is integrative psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry is a model for sustaining and enhancing brain health that emphasizes prevention and individualized care. It is a lens through which each individual is seen as a unique system, and their path as influenced by the interplay of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors. Integrative psychiatry is a mindset that seeks to promote healing and resiliency by offering multidimensional approaches that synergize over time.
Meet Valentina

Her practice is grounded in a unique style of psychopharmacology that blends microdose polypharmacy with nutritional neuroscience.

“Practice” INtegrative Psychiatry
Wellness is not a state; it’s a practice. Healing is not a destination; it’s a state of mind.
Practice is the process of showing up, learning, experimenting, and evolving. Rather than seeking mastery, practice invites you to cultivate a continuously evolving connection with your inner experience. Requiring a shift from perfection to participation, the process of practice involves working through frustration and discouragement, and towards humility and openness.
MISSION
Practice Integrative Psychiatry exists to reimagine mental healthcare and empower individuals with knowledge and tools that inspire self-discovery and sustainable wellness. We offer perspective.
Vision
Our vision is to elevate the standard of psychiatric care by moving beyond symptom management and fostering models of care that cultivate resilience, meaning, and long-term wellness.
We envision a future where patients have greater access to practical self-care tools, empowering them to take an active role in their healing. By exposing individuals to diverse treatment options and approaches, we aim to encourage more engaging and collaborative conversations between patients and providers. Through this, psychiatry can evolve into a field that not only treats illness but also supports individuals to thrive.
