Metabolic Psychiatry Program

Our innovative program is designed to help address the physical and emotional aspects of metabolic challenges, including weight gain and fatigue. We offer a personalized and comprehensive approach to care that integrates therapy and psychiatry, with individualized nutrition counseling and metabolic support. 

It’s no secret that there are some not-so-desirable potential side effects of life-saving psychoactive medicinal intervention. Our team understands that health is represented by the unique combination of biological, emotional, and social adaptations. Many individuals living with depression, anxiety, or mood disorders also face challenges like weight gain, insulin resistance, or high blood pressure that can be worsened by stress or psychiatric medications. Our integrative program targets all sides of the equation.

We use a holistic, evidence-based approach that includes: 

  • GLP-1 Medication Therapy 
     Clinically proven support for weight loss and metabolic regulation. 
  • Expert Psychiatric Care 
     Integrated treatment to improve mood, motivation, and emotional well-being. 
  • Personalized Nutritional Counseling 
     Sustainable strategies tailored to your lifestyle—helping you develop lasting, supportive habits.
  • Targeted Psychotherapy 
     Thoughtfully address the emotional patterns and cognitive barriers that impact your health journey.

Our mission is to help you restore balance, build resilience, and feel empowered in your body and mind. 

What to expect

Every client starts with a comprehensive evaluation to assess both personal and family medical and mental health history.

Comprehensive Assessment

 

  • Metabolic testing: We’ll run blood tests to assess key markers like glucose, thyroid function, and cholesterol that influence mood, energy, and weight. 

  • Body composition analysis: Discover how your muscle mass, body fat, and metabolism impact your health—so we can design a personalized plan that works for you. 

  • Mental health screening: We’ll take time to understand how psychiatric medications, stress, mood, and emotional patterns may be affecting your metabolism—and vice versa.

Weight Management

For those facing challenges with weight, blood sugar regulation, or insulin resistance GLP-1 medications offer powerful support to help the body improve insulin sensitivity, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce appetite by enhancing the feeling of fullness. Our program may include: 

 

  • Weekly GLP-1 treatment & monitoring: Includes weekly medical provider check-ins to track progress, manage side effects, and adjust care based on weight, appetite, and metabolic health. 
  • Body composition analysis: By analyzing your muscle mass, body fat, and metabolic rate, we tailor a weight management plan designed specifically for your body and goals. 

Nutrition

Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Our program offers meal support with a nutritionist who embodies this adage and helps the clients deepen their relationship with fueling their bodies. 

We provide personalized, sustainable nutrition plans that support both metabolic and mental health—no fad diets, just lasting, realistic change. Through ongoing individual or group counseling, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how food impacts mood, energy, and overall well-being. 

Emotional Support

Our program offers support for stress, body image, and healthy coping. This includes: 

 

  • Therapy and counseling: Our team of therapists can help address any emotional struggles, such as stress, anxiety, or body image concerns, that may be tied to metabolic health. 

  • Stress management techniques: We coach our clients to use skills like mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation strategies to help reduce stress and improve mental clarity. 

  • Body image coaching: Improving how we feel in our bodies is a pivotal part of healing. Our approach encourages self-compassion and a Healthy Body at Every Size approach. 

We can help you assess if this program is a good option for you.
