Integrative Psychiatry

“IPC has consistently provided me with thoughtful guidance and treatment over the past several years to deal with several major life-limiting issues. I’m now able to lead a happier and healthier life. I have received help to more clearly understand sources of stress and depression, enabling me to recognize the need to make the life-changing decision of changing my career and begin new directions that I otherwise may not have taken. I especially appreciate IPC’s holistic integrated approach to treatment, encompassing medical as well as psychotherapeutic approaches like cognitive therapy. IPC’s comprehensive approach and openness to consider alternative therapies enabled the identification of certain medical conditions missed entirely by my more conventional primary care physician. I also received help with reducing memory and attentional concerns related to chronic fatigue. My psychiatrist was sensitive, compassionate and open to considering all my thoughts. This clinic has been exceedingly helpful in my life.”

“My integrative psychiatrist took into account my whole being, not just my symptoms. The treatment plan included traditional western medications, but also more gentle and natural alternatives. I felt that I was an integral part of my treatment plan, and was encouraged to participate in my own wellness activities, like my diet, exercise routines and mediation practices.”

“IPC has changed my life. My psychiatrist focused on the whole person which gave me the freedom and opportunity to heal. The alternative and holistic approach along with supplements were invaluable and kept me out of traditional psychiatric institutions. I am living a full, vibrant, and healthy life because of it.”

“IPC has been fantastic with my mental health needs and has been very supportive and compassionate during my treatment.”

“My integrative psychiatrist had an amazing knowledge of how to use supplements and vitamins and it helped a lot. It was huge to finally not completely rely on antidepressants.”

“This was the first psychiatrist I ever worked with that was open minded and willing to use natural alternatives. My psychiatrist even encouraged me to lower the dosage of my medications and eventually taper off of them. This was the first time I experienced psychiatric care that was open to other options rather than medication.”

“The type of integrative psychiatry at IPC was a pathway towards the goal of getting better from my mental health issues. This care gave me the steps I needed for results in my healing process.”

“IPC has supported me in my journey to a healthier life, both mentally and physically. They truly care about the whole individual and their wellbeing.”

“IPC has played an integral part in improving my mental health, both through medication and more holistic methods. The doctors are very kind and understanding, and treatment feels more collaborative than predetermined.”

“I received traditional psychiatric care for ten years before I found IPC. The difference has been profound, and life saving. For the first time, I was seen as a whole person instead of a list of symptoms to manage. Being seen as a person capable of healing, and being given tools to do so, has allowed me to live the life I always imagined. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Van Derveer and the team at IPC for helping me on my healing journey.”

“Integrative psychiatry has been so fundamentally important in my personal growth and making me far more grounded in my day to day life. Before I discovered IPC, I felt I had to choose between a psychiatrist who would just prescribe meds, or a therapist with very little knowledge of pharmacology. With IPC, I was able to find someone who could help me blend the medications I needed with more holistic approaches that would lead to long term growth. Combining deep medical knowledge, other therapeutic approaches has been the one, two punch that I’ve needed to get my life back on track.”

“I cannot recommend this center highly enough, as it brought me through an extremely complex and difficult phase of my life. Prescription medications were required, but were administered with exceptional skill and care, while being accompanied by wise and effective counsel. After a few years of treatment, I have come out on the other side balanced, very happy, and medication free.”

“The staff at IPC have exceptional intellectual and creative power. Utilizing head, heart, and evidence-based practices, IPC has fostered my tremendous growth thus far.”

“I spent years seeking conventional help only to have doctors throw more and more medication at a particular diagnosis rather than addressing my real symptoms. For me, the somatic experience, connecting with nature, changing my diet and actually taking less medication with the Integrative approach made all the difference. It truly has saved my life.”

“Seeking treatment at the Integrative Psychiatry Center has been transformative for me. Their holistic approach to treatment has given me the tools and mindset needed to access my inner strength and wisdom, which were invaluable assets on my journey to healing and personal growth. During the times when I believed I could never escape the depths of my despair, I could always find the support I needed at the center. I feel that everyone I’ve worked with truly cares about my wellbeing, not as a patient who needs to be fixed, but as a person. IPC has helped me find the courage to work toward living my life to the fullest, and for that I am eternally grateful.”
