INTEGRATIVE PSYCHIATRY
The psychiatric team at West Rock Wellness embraces the principles and practices of Integrative Psychiatry — a whole-person, interdisciplinary approach that combines traditional psychiatric treatments with psychotherapy, lifestyle medicine, and complementary therapies supported by emerging evidence. Our approach begins with an in depth, thoughtful assessment process that seeks to understand how biological, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual factors shape a given person’s mental health and well-being. Based on this understand, we work closely with each individual to create a multifaceted treatment plan that is tailored to their unique needs and goals.
