FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS HOLISTIC PSYCHIATRY?
Holistic psychiatry integrates traditional psychiatric treatments with complementary therapies, focusing on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It combines medication (when necessary), nutrition, lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, and alternative therapies like mindfulness, yoga, or herbal supplements to promote lasting mental wellness.
HOW IS DR. KAMINI’S APPROACH DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL PSYCHIATRY?
While conventional psychiatry often focuses primarily on symptom management through medication, Dr. Kamini takes a whole-person approach, addressing root causes like gut health, hormonal imbalances, stress, trauma, and nutritional deficiencies. Treatment plans are personalized, blending evidence-based medicine with holistic therapies.
DO YOU PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS?
Yes, when appropriate. However, medications are only one part of a comprehensive plan. We prioritize minimizing side effects and exploring natural alternatives where possible.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL APPOINTMENT LAST?
-
Initial Consultation: 60 minutes (thorough assessment)
-
Follow-ups: 30 minutes (varies based on treatment plan)
CAN I COMBINE HOLISTIC PSYCHIATRY WITH MY CURRENT TREATMENT?
Absolutely! We collaborate with your existing providers (therapists, physicians, etc.) to ensure a cohesive approach. Always inform us about any medications or supplements you’re taking.
HOW DO I KNOW IF HOLISTIC PSYCHIATRY IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you’re seeking a personalized, root-cause approach beyond medication alone—or if you’ve struggled with side effects or incomplete recovery—holistic psychiatry may be a great fit. Schedule a consultation to discuss your needs.
