Holistic Psychiatry
Functional Psychiatry with a Psychospiritual Approach
You know you're not broken. But you feel… off.
Maybe you’ve tried therapy, or medications, or done all the “right” things —
and you’re still tired, overwhelmed, anxious, and not quite yourself.Maybe your body feels unpredictable.
Your mind feels foggy and won’t slow down. Both at the same time.
Or you’re holding it all together on the outside… but falling apart on the inside. And wonder how long you can keep it up.Maybe you’ve heard that your symptoms actually mean something —
but no one has taken the time to help you understand them.And you have a hunch that having emotions are part of being human, but no one has explained to you how to manage them without medications. Every time you go in to see your psychiatrist they just give you another pill.
And you know you just can’t keep doing it the same way anymore.
What This Path Offers
This is mental health care that honors both your mind and your body — because your symptoms aren’t random, and they’re not character flaws. They’re messages. Invitations. Requests for rhythm, support, or clarity.
On this path, you get:
A trauma trained therapist who is also a functional psychiatric NP.
Someone trained in both story and physiology — someone who understands trauma patterns and thyroid patterns, attachment wounds and adrenal dysregulation, panic and progesterone.
A space where your whole self is welcome.
Your intensity. Your exhaustion. Your history. Your hope. Even the parts you’ve been told are “too much.”
A relationship that doesn’t rush.
Sessions that follow the pace of real healing — not the pace of an insurance company.
What "Holistic Psychiatry" Actually Means
Most psychiatric care looks at people from the neck up — thoughts, symptoms, diagnoses, medications.
Holistic psychiatry refuses to separate the mind from the body.
When we work together, we look at:
• Your physiology — hormones, minerals, inflammation, gut health, sleep, blood sugar, thyroid, nervous system tone.
• Your story — trauma patterns, attachment wounds, stress cycles, survival strategies, relationship dynamics.
• Your environment — toxins, food rhythms, work habits, overstimulation, tech use, and the places your system gets overloaded.
• Your spirit and energy — the imprints you carry, the seasons you’re moving through, and the parts of you that need tending.
Not every therapist can do this.
Not every psychiatrist has the time or training to do this.
Most don’t sit with you long enough to see the pattern beneath the symptom.
Holistic psychiatry is whole-person psychiatry.
It means I don’t just ask what you feel — I ask why your system feels that way, what it’s trying to protect, and what it’s asking for.
It means I’m not just adjusting medications — I’m supporting the physiology that makes healing possible in the first place.
It means you won’t be treated as a cluster of symptoms or a set of diagnoses.
You’ll be treated as a human being whose mind, body, history, and biology all speak in one language — rhythm.
And it means we won’t try to medicate away what your body is trying to communicate.
Multiflora Rose
Multiflora rose is the mascot of the Holistic Psychiatry membership at White Oak because she grows where the land has been hurt — along old fence lines, abandoned pastures, storm-torn banks. She shows up after disruption, weaving her wild green nets through the places most people overlook. Some call her invasive. I’ve always thought of her as a healer with a bit of attitude — the kind who doesn’t wait for permission before tending to the wound.
Multiflora rose isn’t just thicket and thorn; she’s that unexpected, heart-stopping fragrance that finds you on a humid June morning and reminds you that resilience and beauty can coexist in the same small bloom.
Her botanical name is Rosa multiflora, but locals know her by the tangle she creates: a protective thicket, a boundary, a soft white bloom shining out of briars. She offers both gentleness and structure. She climbs, she shelters, she fortifies. She teaches that healing requires both tenderness and containment — the same pairing that good mental health care should offer.
This is why she’s the namesake of this path.
Most of us find our way into therapy or psychiatric care only after life has scraped us bare. After a storm. After a season of holding too much together. Multiflora rose understands that terrain. She grows there. She knows how to reclaim what’s been overrun, and how to help something living find its way back.
She carries contradiction with grace — thicket and thorn, yes, but also that rising sweetness that comes from the very bramble meant to protect it. That’s the medicine of this work, too: protection and tenderness, structure and softness, resilience and beauty sitting side by side.

Choose the level of support that matches your life—and your nervous system.
Just like in nature, healing happens in cadence. Steady, intentional, and supported
What Makes This Different
I don’t just look at symptoms — I look at patterns. Nervous system signatures. Hormone shifts. Mineral imbalances. Attachment wounds. Family systems. Food rhythms. Energetic imprints. The places where stress, story, and physiology collide.
This is mental health care that treats the whole person — mind, body, lineage, and environment.
And like multiflora rose, this work is both tougher and sweeter than it first appears — a tangle that protects, a bloom that surprises, and a beauty that deepens once you’re inside it.
Who This Is For (and Not For)
This practice is designed for individuals who are psychiatrically stable enough to engage in outpatient, relationship-based care.
If you have been recently hospitalized, are in active crisis, or are experiencing significant instability (including active psychosis, severe suicidality, or rapid decompensation), this is not the right level of care at this time.
These seasons require a higher level of support—such as inpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, or crisis services—where safety and stabilization can be prioritized.
This doesn’t mean you’ll be “stuck” in the system forever. It means your life matters and deserves protection.

The Real Cost of Care
Good mental health care is expensive — and often, it still doesn’t give people what they actually need.
Most therapists charge over $200 for a fifty-minute session.
Most psychiatrists charge $200–$300 for a fifteen-minute medication check.
That means you can easily spend $400–$500 every week just to talk for 50 mins and have someone manage your meds.
If your aim is to taper off of psych meds, it can get even more expensive.
And that doesn’t include the cost of feeling unseen, rushed, or talked into staying on medications you hoped to someday taper off.
In this model, the weekly membership is $1000/month —
and that includes 1 hour therapy sessions, nervous system support, functional psychiatry, and safe, medically supervised deprescribing inside one relational container.
In this model, you save hundreds of dollars every week and get a trauma trained therapist, a medication deprescriber, a functional medicine practitioner, and a long-form therapeutic relationship — all in one place.
And the truth is, there are very few holistic psychiatric providers who can taper safely.
The ones who do exist often charge $1000 an hour… and some run programs that cost around $50,000 😱
Around here, this depth of care is impossible to find.
This model was built to change that.
It’s meant to make real, root-cause psychiatric care accessible —
the kind that protects your nervous system, understands your story, and walks with you through the parts of healing that can’t be rushed.
