Has anyone ever told you to "look at the big picture" in life?

Goodness, completion, and restoration are all part of the big picture. It's the optimal state. Looking at the big picture is exactly what we do at Freedom Psychiatry.

Holistic Psychiatry is about looking at each person wholly. It's about helping patients thrive by integrating their mind, body, and emotions. It's about looking at the big picture instead of just one's psychiatric symptoms.

How Does It Work?

When we address the whole person, we try to identify the obstacle(s) preventing them from thriving. It's about finding the root cause of your psychiatric symptoms that might be effecting you physically and emotionally as well. We provide a warm and inviting environment for our patients. We care about finding solutions to get to the root of the problem.

It's not just about covering it up as a short term solution. Holistic Psychiatry is much more! It's about restoration in life. Restoring a patient's thoughts, emotions, and body because they are all connected.

Mental vs. Emotional Health

Mental and emotional health are connected, but they are not interchangeable. Recognizing the difference between the two can help people better understand our holistic approach.

Scientifically speaking, mental health is often defined by a person's behaviors related to the brain. Mental illnesses are actually caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. They can be hereditary or caused by other factors. Mental illnesses should be treated just as you'd treat any physical illness.

Our mental health is an essential part of our overall, holistic health.

On the other hand, emotions are an instinctive, natural state of mind. They're a result of our circumstances, mood, and other factors that affect the way we feel. Many times negative emotions or feelings develop through trauma, difficult life situations, or unhealthy stress.

It's hard to tell the differences between mental and emotional health issues which is why we're here to help create mental and emotional freedom for your entire family.

Holistic Healing

If you or a loved one is suffering from unhealthy stress, trauma, anxiety, depression or any other mental or emotional health illness, we're here for you. A more fulfilling and rewarding life awaits!
