What is Integrative Mental Health Care?

Integrative mental health care (IMH) is a rising trend in the field of mental health that aims to treat individuals as a whole, considering all aspects of their well-being. This approach combines traditional methods with complementary therapies to address health conditions effectively. The ultimate goal is to create personalized treatment plans that not only alleviate symptoms but also target the root causes of distress while also promoting self-awareness and self-care skills.

Patients can expect a diverse range of treatments and practices tailored to their unique needs and achievable goals. This may include conventional therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as alternative or holistic approaches such as wellness coaching and mindfulness training. By integrating these different modalities, Modern Balance Integrative Therapy seeks to provide a more comprehensive and individualized approach to mental health care.

We take into account various additional aspects that can impact health outcomes. These include considerations for cultural diversity, professional ethics, evidence based techniques, and access to community support services. By addressing these factors, our team strives to create a supportive and inclusive environment that promotes overall well-being.

Modern Balance offers a multifaceted and personalized integrative wellness approach to navigating new or chronic health conditions. We believe in a holistic and innovative way of supporting our community.

Is Integrative Mental Health Care right for me?

I know what you are thinking...Is Integrative mental health care right for me? And my answer is maybe? Depends…Do you prefer a holistic approach to your healthcare? Do you value being known as a unique individual with complexities? Are you curious about this thing called mindfulness? Are you on the path to better your wellness despite all the mountains you may face in life?

If you answered yes to the questions above- then Integrative Mental Health Care probably is the right approach for you. It is a good option for people who consider different dimensions of their wellness like their physical AND emotional well-being. It also pays special attention to a person's needs and preferences instead of telling someone what is going to work for them.

This whole-body approach combines conventional treatments, such Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with complementary modalities, such as mind-body therapy, nutrition, lifestyle enhancements, mindfulness training, energy therapies, and more. Integrative Mental Health Care acknowledges that all aspects of a person's life affect their mental health, such as sleep, nutrition, and movement. It can help support people increase their wellness while they are navigating a variety of health conditions such as neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, and adrenal conditions. Not to mention cancer and other diagnosis.
