Ever wonder if there is a way to get effective psychiatric help for yourself or a loved one from a highly trained Western medical doctor who practices what we all fundamentally know-namely that true healing requires balance and empowerment in mind, body and spirit? Ever suspect that although psychiatric medications can be critical life-saving and life-supporting tools, they ideally should serve only as necessary bridges to support a person along their wellness journey (and may sometimes be decreased or eliminated)?
