When I think about integrative psychiatry, I picture it as a bridge. On one side is the robust science of modern medicine—the carefully studied pharmaceuticals, cutting-edge therapies, and neuroscience-backed insights. On the other side are the timeless wisdom traditions, practices that have supported human flourishing for millennia, including meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, and plant-based healing. The bridge is built when we see the value in both approaches, using them in harmony to support the unique needs of each individual.
