The duration of treatment often depends on how long you have been suffering with a particular condition. There is a generalized formula that for every year you have had a condition you need to spend a month to get well.  Healing depends a great deal on how invested you are in transforming the life style that may have contributed to your illness; how completely you allow yourself to resolve emotional traumas and move on with  your life; and how fully you agree  to embrace joy and happiness in your life.  The length of treatment will also depend on the intensity of the treatment you choose or can afford. We offer many options based on your needs but sometimes treatment must be adjusted according to your means. As you can see, taking a pill hoping for a quick fix does not work.  A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Healing is a process and we are committed to staying with you during your journey, hoping it will be a short one.

Many medications have an important role in treating people who are suffering. Unfortunately, most of them have long and short term side effects because they are synthetic chemical compounds that are foreign to the human body.  In our treatment, we try to use medications only as a last resort when there are no other holistic options available. Many patients who come to us have tried multiple medications and are now searching for relief from all of the side effects.  They want to be off the medications so they can start to live a healthy, productive life. We recognize that withdrawal from medications must be done slowly and gradually and we offer careful guidance so as to minimize withdrawal symptoms.

A holistic approach to psychiatry looks at your Whole Person — who you are as a human being and what your physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual issues are.  In planning your treatment we address the issues from a holistic perspective, that is, we look at your nutrition, the toxicity in your body and your environment, all psychological traumas and any energetic imbalances.  We do our best to avoid prescription medications and use them only when there are no other alternatives. We prefer to use alternative treatment modalities such as herbs, supplements, energetic treatments, guided imagery, meditation and various other techniques.  We always do our best to meet the client where he/she is and plan actions based on what he/she wants at the present time. Treatments we use are based on research studies, ancient healing practices and our own clinical experiences.  Our goal is to help you become healthy and realize your best potential in life.
