Integrative Mental Health

The thoughts you have, your hormones, gut microbes, & the daily habits talk to each other nonstop! When that conversation breaks down, your anxiety spikes, your mood sinks, and your focus is scattered. As an integrative mental health practitioner, My Native Doctor rebuilds your neuroscience, nutrition, botanical medicine, and mind-body therapy so that you can focus on thriving and not surviving.

Why Mental Health Needs an Integrative Lens

Typical psychiatry leans on medication first. Did you know that drugs can be lifesaving, but they barely fix the actual triggers: micronutrient gaps, inflammatory foods, cortisol surges, or your childhood wiring that never got rewired. My Native Doctor offers a natural anxiety treatment and depression therapy model that focuses on the full brain chemistry, gut integrity, hormone balance, sleep rhythms, movement, relationships, and purpose so that you can reclaim your calm without relying on pills solely.

How Our Service Works

Step 1

Choose telehealth if you need integrative therapy for mental health from anywhere in Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, or California, or request an in-home consultation, if you live in Chicago.

Book Your Session

Step 2

Deep-Dive Intake

Secure questionnaires cover symptom history, childhood stress, diet, sleep, digestion, screen habits, and movement patterns. Upload prior labs or neuropsychic reports so we build on existing data.

Step 3

Ninety-Minute Mental Health & Lifestyle Consult

We review your story line by line and co-create top goals: steady mood, quiet mind, sharp focus.

Step 4

Personalized Protocol Delivered in Two Days

Your written roadmap includes:

●        Food plan that lowers neuro-inflammation.
●        Targeted nutrients and botanicals for natural mood support (think saffron, L-theanine, magnesium glycinate).
●        Breath pacing, vagus-nerve drills, and guided imagery to reset stress circuits.
●        Sleep-hygiene tweaks that anchor melatonin and cortisol.
●        Optional prescriptions if labs show clear need, coordinated with your psychiatrist.
Every step lists “why this matters” so motivation stays high.

Step 5

Follow-Up & Neuro-Tracking

Visits at weeks 4, 8, and 12 review symptom logs, wearable sleep data, and lab changes. Dosages adjust, unneeded supplements drop off, and new skills stack until the routine feels second nature.

●        Omega-3 EPA-DHA to rebuild neuron membranes.

●        Vitamin D3 and methyl-folate for serotonin production.

●        Adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola) for cortisol balance.

●        Probiotics and polyphenols to calm gut-brain inflammation.

●        HRV biofeedback and coherent breathing apps.

●        Trauma-informed mindfulness and somatic grounding.

●        Light-therapy boxes for winter mood stability.

●        Movement prescriptions: yoga nidra for hyper-arousal, strength circuits for lethargy.
