At Next Step Psychiatry, we believe that mental health care should address the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our integrative psychiatry services in Lilburn, GA, combine traditional psychiatric treatments with holistic approaches to promote healing and long-term well-being.
What Is Integrative Psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry is a patient-centered approach that blends evidence-based conventional treatments, such as medication and therapy, with complementary techniques to address all aspects of health: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. By focusing on the underlying causes of mental health challenges, integrative psychiatry aims to restore balance and improve overall quality of life.
Our Approach to Integrative Psychiatry
1. Comprehensive Assessment
We begin by gaining a deep understanding of your mental health, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. This thorough evaluation helps us develop a personalized treatment plan.
2. Individualized Treatment Plans
Your treatment plan may include a combination of:
- Psychiatric Medications: When appropriate, evidence-based medications are used to stabilize symptoms.
- Psychotherapy: Talk therapy to process emotions and develop coping strategies.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on improving sleep, nutrition, and physical activity to support mental health.
- Mind-Body Techniques: Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and stress-reduction exercises.
- Nutritional Support: Identifying and addressing deficiencies that may contribute to mental health issues.
3. Advanced Therapies for Complex Cases
For individuals with treatment-resistant conditions, we offer innovative options such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine Therapy (based on clinical need).
