INTEGRATIVE HEALTH SERVICES
Each new patient experience starts off with an assessment based on your extensive health intake and initial consultation.
This is a list of potential treatments that will be considered by your treatment provider.
Our Western trained Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners have taken further training in Integrative Medicine, a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms.
They are also trained specifically to perform evaluations based on HOPE’s model to create a personalized plan for multimodal approach and complete mental health recovery. As a result herbal and nutritional remedies are employed for most symptoms.
Cautious and time limited use of psychotropic medication is used only as a last resort or temporary while addressing concerns from a integrative medicine approach which is. Education and support for food and lifestyle change as well as goal setting for work and creativity are as much a part of each visit as are conversations about symptoms and medicine. The HOPE model aims to address physical, emotional, nutritional, lifestyle and spiritual aspects of health to promote overall well-being.

Children and Adolescents have unique needs when struggling with depression or anxiety. When given the proper support, they have a greater capacity for resilience and healing. Our Western Trained Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners have specialized training in Integrative Medicine. Our clinicians use natural remedies, address nutrition, lifestyle factors, and social and family issues to promote mental health recovery for children and teens, reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, or other mental health concerns.
Critical to our approach is including the entire family in the assessment. We see the family as part of the solution to healing, as we believe no outside intervention can supplant the power of the family’s innate capacity for love and relationship to heal. Therefore, in most cases, psychoactive medication can be wholly avoided for children and teens and only cautiously for a limited time in the process to heal depression and heal anxiety.

Our therapists are trained to create a plan based on Hope’s model of mental health recovery. You will work collaboratively with your therapist to create a personalized plan for healing and recovery from depression, anxiety, ADHD, or other mental health concerns. We believe in an experiential psychotherapy approach, which means change happens not solely through talk and analysis, but rather through new encouraging new experiences outside the therapy room.
This therapeutic approach combines elements from experiential and emotion-focused therapies, creating a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their emotions and experiences deeply. Integrative psychotherapy promotes healing and transformation through techniques like role-playing, visualization, meaning-making, and emotional processing.
Clients gain insights into their emotional and lifestyle patterns, which many have been impacting their mental health. Our therapists understand the complex interplay between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, lifestyle factors, and relationships on psychological processes. They approach therapy from a holistic therapy mindset that promotes healing and personal growth. You will take time to reflect on how you are living, your food and lifestyle choices and how you manage your current relationships.
An important part of Integrative Psychotherapy is the importance in developing a meaningful supportive community in your life. Integrative psychotherapy is interested in you as a whole person and encourages change allowing your authentic self to emerge.
Our integrative therapists help individuals repair the meaningful relationships in their lives and help regenerate the community we need to feel whole.
Integrative psychotherapy for couples and families is a holistic therapy approach that integrates insights and techniques from multiple therapeutic models to address relational challenges within families and couples. This approach considers the interconnected dynamics among family members and partners, drawing from systems theory, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral techniques, narrative therapy, and communication strategies.
By examining family history, roles, and patterns, therapists aim to promote effective communication, resolve conflicts, and foster a healthier family or couple dynamic. The goal is to facilitate improved relationships and create a supportive environment for lasting positive change. A secondary change can occur, helping a person in the system to further their healing from depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns.
An Integrative approach to couples and family work means we also see our role in supporting the system as a whole, including being mindful of self-care, work, lifestyle factors, and meaningful values. Therapists can help you address the challenges and conflicts that cause couples and families to suffer. The Hope model seeks the complete resolution of problems by supporting our clients’ self-empowerment and capacity to change by discovering purpose and meaning beyond ourselves.
For those with more deeply imprinted trauma we provide focused work with a Somatic trained therapist. Trauma and toxic stress live in the body through states of chronic tension, restlessness and panic as well as in our habitual behaviors and lifestyle choices. Somatic therapy helps you track the felt sensations in your body and invites the exploration of unsettled trauma to allow the body to release and discharge any stuck energy though it’s own innate wisdom.
Somatic therapy can be profoundly helpful for mental health healing by recognizing the mind-body connection. It involves exploring the physical sensations and bodily experiences associated with emotions and trauma, helping individuals release stored tension and unprocessed emotions. Through techniques like mindfulness, breathwork, and body awareness, somatic therapy offers a pathway to process and integrate emotions, leading to increased self-awareness, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.
At Hope we use intramuscular ketamine and oral ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for treatment resistant depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. At higher doses of intramuscular injection transcendental experiences may manifest. For end-of-life anxiety and existential anxiety these transcendental experiences can lead to long lasting trust and peace in heart and mind.
Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, is a non-classical psychedelic. Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy has shown potential for treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Integrating this Ketamine treatment with psychotherapy enhances the therapeutic effects rather than Ketamine alone. The effects of ketamine can induce altered states of consciousness, helping to create a heightened receptivity to psychotherapy insights. Guided by a trained psychedelic therapist, clients may engage in introspective exploration, emotional processing, and meaningful discussions, often resulting in deep insights, emotional release, and potentially transformative experiences.
This approach aims to create a comprehensive treatment plan that targets both the biological and psychological aspects of mental health disorders for more holistic healing.
It is now well known that many psychiatric disorders originate to some extent in food and gut related issues. Resolving things at this level can be the missing piece for so many people. Building resilience through physical health and vitality is essential for everyone, because we feel and see things with greater self empowerment when we feel strong and resilient in our bodies. Functional Medicine practitioners are experts in the use of food and nutrition to promote health and manage diseases. The approach is focused on preventing or reversing illness through lab testing to get to the root cause. At Hope we value this approach as one of the most robust and rapid ways people recover from mental illness, through a whole person approach.
Integrative functional medicine and psychiatry combine conventional psychiatric practices with holistic approaches to treat mental health concerns. This approach considers not only psychological factors but also incorporates aspects of nutrition, lifestyle, and physiological imbalances.
We collaborate with integrative functional medicine to provide comprehensive care that addresses both the psychological and physiological aspects of your well-being. This collaboration can lead to a more holistic and personalized approach to mental health recovery.
"We all know the feeling of being in flow with ourselves, our relationships and the world around us in a meaningful way. This is what it means to be whole, fully tapped into our innate resilience and potential."
