Understanding and Managing Anxiety: A Holistic Approach
Introduction
Anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. At the Center for Integrative Psychiatry (CIP), we understand the complexities of anxiety and offer a holistic approach to treatment. By combining conventional and alternative therapies, we aim to address the root causes of anxiety and promote overall well-being.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal response to stress, but it becomes a disorder when it interferes with daily life. Symptoms can include excessive worry, restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and physical symptoms such as increased heart rate and muscle tension. If left untreated, anxiety can significantly impact one’s quality of life.
Our Holistic Approach to Treating Anxiety
Personalized Treatment Plan
At CIP, we create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Our comprehensive assessments help us understand your symptoms, health history, and lifestyle, allowing us to develop an effective treatment strategy.
Medication Management
While medication is not always necessary, it can be an essential component of treatment for some individuals. We carefully evaluate the need for medication and provide ongoing management to ensure the best outcomes.
Psychotherapy
We offer various forms of brief psychotherapy in conjunction with medication management, including tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help you develop coping strategies and address the underlying causes of anxiety.
Nutraceuticals and Supplement
Our integrative approach includes the use of nutraceuticals and supplements to support mental health. We may recommend evidence-based supplements tailored to your needs to help alleviate anxiety symptoms.

We work with you to improve aspects of your lifestyle that may contribute to anxiety, such as sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Our lifestyle coaching helps you build healthy habits that support mental well-being.
