Integrative Psychiatry
The focus of integrative psychiatry is to blend traditional and non-traditional treatments in the healing process. In integrative psychiatry clients are assessed and treated holistically. All aspects are taken into consideration: from diet to exercise, symptoms and disease processes as well as the spiritual aspects of a person’s life. Traditional medicine often teaches treatment of disease processes as singular entities. Integrative medicine seeks to treat the client with the understanding that all things are inter-related. Treatments can be found in therapeutic approaches as well as teaching proper nutrition, exercise, mindfulness and self-healing. Red Oak Counseling is a clinic that strives to reconnect people to themselves and to teach them that with the proper tools and treatments they can find healing and enrichment in their lives.

Medication Management
In some instances, when therapy, exercise and supplementation is not enough, medications are indicated to aid in the treatment and management of a client’s symptoms and treatment. In these cases, our prescribers will discuss with the client the risks, benefits and side effects of these medications that they may feel are indicated and will only prescribe if both they and the client are in agreement.
Red Oak Counseling has a strict policy against prescribing opiates as these are not indicated in psychiatric and mental health concerns. In the case that other narcotic level medications are prescribed, a strict contractual agreement will be entered by provider and client.
Treatment Resistant Depression
There are many FDA approved treatments for TRD, including medications, nasal sprays, and medical devices. Some commonly referenced treatments for TRD include esketamine (also called Spravato) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
