Integrative Psychiatry That Looks at the Root Cause - Not Just Symptoms
Insurance Accepted:
You've done everything you were told… so why do you still feel this way?
- You've tried therapy but still feel stuck
- You've been prescribed medication but don't feel like yourself
- You're constantly tired, anxious, or overwhelmed
- You've been told your labs are "normal," but you know something is off
- You feel dismissed, rushed, or not fully heard
You've done everything you were told…
so why do you still feel this way?
"I've tried therapy. I'm still struggling."
Therapy is powerful — but sometimes the biology needs attention too. Integrated psychiatric care addresses what talk therapy alone can't always reach.
"I was given a prescription and sent on my way."
A prescription handed over in 10 minutes isn't care. Carolyne takes time to understand your full story before making any recommendations.
"Nothing has worked. I'm losing hope."
Treatment-resistant depression deserves more than another trial-and-error. Spravato is an FDA-approved breakthrough for people who haven't found relief.
