Welcome

Michigan Integrative Holistic Psychiatry (MIHP) is a private mental health clinic that specializes in the integrative medicine treatment of mental health concerns. 

While most psychiatric practices rely heavily on psychiatric medications -- with or without  counseling -- at MIHP we offer additional paths to wellness.  Though we have extensive knowledge of psychopharmacology (i.e. psychiatric medications), we can and do instruct you on complementary treatments including the use of specific supplements and herbs, lifestyle practices (e.g. nature therapy or mind-body practices), and electromagnetic treatments (such as "light therapy" and other lesser-known but highly effective modalities).  

Our goal is to provide you with treatments that work well and quickly but with the fewest side effects.  In particular, we strive to help you achieve OPTIMAL mental wellness.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine is the practice of medicine that combines conventional care with complementary treatments.  Complementary treatments can include nutritional supplements, herbals, and treatments from the ancient healing systems of China or India.  An integrative medicine physician has "more tools in their tool belt" with which to be of service.  Health is defined as the attainment of optimal wellness, not just "absence of disease".  Patients are respected as unique, biochemically and psychologically distinct individuals, and are NOT characterized by their disease state.
