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.

Most psychiatric care looks at people from the neck up — thoughts, symptoms, diagnoses, medications.
Functional 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.

Functional 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.

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.

If you’re in immediate danger or experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or others, please contact 911 or your local crisis hotline right now.

Your safety comes first — before membership, before paperwork, before anything else.

When someone is in crisis — suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, severe panic, or sudden destabilization — the safest next step is often a higher level of care. That may include mobile crisis, an ER evaluation, or inpatient stabilization.
This doesn’t mean you’ll be “stuck” in the system forever. It means your life matters and deserves protection.

Most psychiatric units require a follow-up appointment with a mental health provider within 24 hours of discharge.
For existing patients, I can almost always accommodate that return visit.
For new patients, this may not be possible due to scheduling demands — in those cases, the hospital will arrange appropriate short-term follow-up before you transition into care here.

Once you’re medically and psychiatrically stable, we can begin the deeper work together.

Because early post-hospitalization is the most vulnerable period, I require the following for safety:

• If you were hospitalized in the last 3 months:
You must enroll in the weekly Multiflora Rose membership until you reach the 3-month mark beyond your discharge.
(Example: if you are 2 months out, you will need 1 month of weekly sessions.)

• If you are currently at risk of hospitalization:
You must begin weekly sessions for at least 3 months to prevent further destabilization.

• If a higher level of care is clearly needed and you decline it:
White Oak Medicine is not an appropriate setting for treatment, and ongoing care may not be possible.
This is never punitive — it’s about safety and clinical integrity.

• I cannot provide care for individuals who are psychiatrically unstable or in active addiction.
Those seasons require a level of containment and support that outpatient membership cannot safely offer.

Medication may be part of stabilization — and that’s okay. Once the crisis has passed and your system has steadied, we can explore root causes, rebuild nervous-system safety, and — when appropriate — taper medications slowly, gently, and respectfully.

There is a path forward.
It just has to begin with safety.

Good mental health care is expensive — and often, it still doesn’t give people what they actually need.

Most therapists charge around $180 for a fifty-minute session.
Most psychiatrists charge $200–$300 for a fifteen-minute medication check.
That means you can easily spend $380–$480 every week just to talk for an hour and have someone who manages your prescriptions.

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 $797/month —
and that includes hour-long therapy, nervous system support, functional psychiatry, and safe, medically supervised deprescribing inside one relationship.

The hourly rate actually decreases the more support you need:

❀ Monthly: ~$300/hr

❀ Biweekly: ~$250/hr

❀ Weekly: ~$200/hr

For less than twenty dollars more than a weekly therapy session, you get
a therapist, a prescriber, a functional medicine lens, a taper-aware clinician, and a long-form, relational container — 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 $600 an hour… and some run programs that cost around $30,000 😱

Around here, this depth of care is almost 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.
