My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I understand that psychotropic medication may not always be the best option for everyone, which is why we offer our patients complementary therapies that may include supplements, nutritional support, meditation, and lifestyle changes. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your needs, and we will ensure that our recommendations are culturally sensitive. At Talitha Koum Psychiatry, the team prioritizes understanding patients' backgrounds, cultures, and preferences, as evidence shows it leads to better patient outcomes.
