What is Integrative Mental Health?

Integrative Mental Health is a unique approach centered on recognizing the connections between your mental, emotional, physical, and social well-being. Think of it as taking a step back to view the bigger picture instead of focusing solely on one thing. In our practice, our team includes therapists who understand the interconnectedness of the mind and body for psychological, social, and emotional health. We also have dietitians who recognize how our psyche impacts digestion, gut health, diseases, and overall nutrition. Our medication providers prioritize natural approaches over quick prescriptions and integrate lifestyle adjustments to your overall well-being. Moreover, each provider leverages their unique educational background and individuality to offer care. However, they all share a foundational perspective that's centered on the interplay between body and mind.

What benefits would you get from choosing Integrative Mental Health over other approaches?

Opting for Integrative Mental Health brings you unique advantages. Unlike conventional methods that often focus solely on specific disorders, symptoms, or isolated aspects of your well-being, we emphasize the interconnectedness of your mental, emotional, and physical states, as well as your relationship with the world around you. Our tailored approach, expert guidance, and inviting environment empower you to achieve comprehensive well-being. By offering diverse perspectives and strategies, we stand apart from traditional approaches, ensuring a more effective and meaningful journey toward lasting growth.

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, we’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.

What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?

The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. Our providers are all professionally trained and can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, our services are completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, and you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

Why shouldn’t I just take medication?

While medication can be effective, it's not a comprehensive solution for all concerns. At Healthridge, we take a well-rounded approach. Our team will collaborate with you to determine whether medication alone or a combination of medication and therapy, or even additional services, best suits your needs. Our goal is to provide an approach that explores the complexities of your challenges and empowers you to leverage your strengths in achieving your personal goals.

How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?

Our approach is personalized to your unique needs and goals. No two individuals are the same, which means each session will vary based on your situation. You don't need to do much—simply sit back, relax, and start with what brings you to us. We'll take care of the rest. Our dedicated team will tailor a therapeutic approach to address your specific concerns, ensuring that you receive the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

We are so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.
