Integrative Care

Integrative Psychiatric Care in Rapid City, SD

Blending science and compassion for whole-person healing.

Our holistic model combines modern psychiatry with mindfulness, lifestyle, and education to support clarity, balance, and lasting wellness. True healing begins when we treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.

What Is Integrative Care?

Integrative care means bringing together the best of modern psychiatry and evidence-based wellness practices to create a personalized plan that honors your mind, body, and life story.

This approach looks at how your sleep, nutrition, movement, environment, and thought patterns interact with your mental health. By connecting these pieces, we can create a treatment plan that not only reduces symptoms but builds long-term resilience and well-being.

The Four Pillars of Integrative Care

1. Modern Psychiatry
   Evidence-based medication management tailored to your individual neurochemistry, symptoms, and goals. We use medications carefully and intentionally, adjusting based on your feedback and outcomes.

2. Mindfulness & Emotional Awareness
   Techniques like breathwork, grounding, and cognitive reframing can calm your nervous system and help you respond to stress with clarity rather than overwhelm.

3. Lifestyle & Daily Rhythm
   Mental health thrives on consistency. We’ll explore your sleep, nutrition, exercise, and routines to find gentle, realistic changes that support emotional balance.

4. Education & Empowerment
   Knowledge is power. You’ll understand how your treatment works and why it matters—helping you take an active, confident role in your own care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as functional medicine?
Not exactly. Integrative care combines psychiatry with holistic wellness principles—it’s grounded in medical science but open to complementary approaches that support emotional and physical health.

Will you work with my therapist or primary care provider?
Yes. Collaboration is central to integrative care. With your permission, I’m happy to coordinate with other members of your healthcare team.

Do you focus on supplements or lab testing?
When appropriate, we may discuss labs (such as thyroid or vitamin D levels) or evidence-based supplements—but only as part of a comprehensive plan.
