Psychotherapy
I implement CBT ( Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) which is widely used as a therapeutic approach that helps individuals change negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve their mental well-being.
Binge Eating Support
I provide support for binge eating and food compulsive behaviors, incorporating GLP-1 therapy to help manage cravings and promote healthier eating habits.
Laboratory/ Genetic testing
Laboratory tests are a vital step in identifying nutritional deficiencies within the body. By examining these results, I can pinpoint deficiencies that might be contributing to your mental health issues, including fatigue, weakened immunity, and cognitive
Genetic testing offers valuable insights into how you metabolize medications. By analyzing specific genetic markers, I can determine how your body processes and responds to various drugs. This information can help personalize medication choices and dosages, ensuring more effective and safer treatment plans.
Medication Management
In the event that medication is necessary, the minimum effective dose with the least possible side effects will be prescribed. I can also help you taper off medications in the most safe and effective way.
Nutritional Supplementation
Addressing nutritional deficiencies through supplements can have a positive impact on mental health. Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and certain minerals play crucial roles in brain function and mood regulation. When these deficiencies are corrected, you may experience improved cognitive function, mood stability, and overall mental well-being.
