Specialists examine a myriad of factors that may contribute to mental health status, including factors such as genetics, adverse childhood experiences, nutrition, genetics, lifestyle, and more in order to provide clients with robust and individualized care. After an initial consultation and detailed history, individual psychotherapy sessions are available. In addition to psychotherapy, a team of empathetic psychiatrists are available to offer comprehensive consultation and sessions, which may include psycho genomic testing, clinical monitoring, and medication management.
Integrative novel treatment at Being Health includes ketamine infusion therapy with a ketamine maintenance program. This involves a preparation session that psychologically prepares clients for the infusion experience. Ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) administers infusions over a period of time in conjunction with therapeutic integration and ongoing care and maintenance tailored to each individual. KAP has shown to be an effective cutting-edge method for individuals with treatment resistant depression or trauma. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist staff administer ketamine injections in accordance with gold standard safety practices and help guide clients to ensure they have the most comfortable experience possible.
Functional Medicine at Being Health serves as a tool that addresses underlying causes of mental health conditions in order to get to the root causes and optimize health and lifestyle. Clients begin with a functional medicine evaluation, consisting of 3 visits focused on conducting a deep dive of individual lifestyles and identifying what may be negatively impacting one’s mental health. Included in the 3 visits is a meeting with a functional medicine physician who may order genetic testing, a nutrition consultation, and a follow up visit with a physician that includes lab interpretation. Following the evaluation, clients have the option to enroll in a 6 month therapeutic program that also involves follow-up nutrition visits.
Being Health offers wellness services that consist of holistic methods such as acupuncture and nutritional counseling. Mind and body acupuncture, a form of Chinese medicine, uses hair-fine needles inserted into specific points in the body to support health and balance. Acupuncture may be a useful treatment method for a variety of conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, and pain.
Viewing nutrition as a core foundation of overall physical and mental well-being, clients have access to nutritional specialists using a weight neutral approach. Evaluations may use lab work and diagnostic assessments to identify deficiencies or imbalances and develop personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations as part of the treatment process.
Each Client is assigned a dedicated care advocate, a team of licensed clinicians in place to assist clients with coordinating care and ensuring their treatment needs are met in a warm and welcoming environment.
