Integrative Care
Where mind, body and nervous system meet for whole-person healing.
Bridging Two Worlds for Deeper Healing
Integrative Mental Health looks at the whole person mind, body, and nervous system to uncover what’s truly driving emotional patterns, stress, and fatigue. Rather than simply managing symptoms, this approach explores the root causes of anxiety, depression, irritability, burnout, and overwhelm.
Sometimes talk therapy alone isn’t enough because what’s happening in the body can hold just as much weight as what’s happening in the mind.
With Yvette’s background as both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Mental Health and Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNCS), this process bridges psychology, neuroscience, and nutritional therapy to support lasting emotional balance and physical well-being.
It’s where counseling meets nutrition education: a space to understand your emotions, habits, and health as parts of the same story. Together, we look beneath the surface to uncover what’s fueling your patterns, your mood, your cravings, and your energy and we work to restore balance from the inside out.
What Integrative Care Looks Like
This approach is designed for those who want to go beyond symptom management, people who want to understand why their body and mind respond the way they do and how to bring them back into alignment. Your emotional health doesn’t exist in isolation.
Each session integrates insight-oriented therapy with practical, body-based awareness. We might explore:
-
Emotional regulation and nervous system balance
-
Food-mood awareness and emotional eating patterns
-
Blood sugar stability and its impact on anxiety or focus
-
Hormone and stress interactions across the lifespan
-
Gut-brain communication and how it affects mood
-
Daily rhythms that support both energy and calm
-
Inflammation and brain fog
-
Nervous system regulation and sensory sensitivity
The goal isn’t to fix you it’s to help you understand yourself more deeply and create sustainable habits that align with your biology and your story. This approach is especially powerful for those who've ever thought,
" Talk therapy helped but something still feels off in my body."
“Healing begins when you stop fighting yourself and start listening to what your body and emotions have been trying to say all along.”
Why It Matters
Your brain and body are in constant conversation. When your digestion, hormones, or blood sugar are out of balance, your mood and emotions follow. And when your nervous system is overwhelmed, even the healthiest lifestyle changes can feel impossible to sustain. Food, energy, and mood are deeply intertwined. Small, intentional shifts made with curiosity rather than restriction often make a noticeable difference.
Integrative Care helps you tune into that communication. By addressing how stress, nourishment, and emotional cycles interact, you learn to respond to your body with understanding not frustration.
This is where transformation begins: with awareness, education, and aligned action.
Who It’s For
Integrative Care may be the right fit if you:
-
Have tried therapy before but still feel “stuck” or disconnected from your body
-
Struggle with energy crashes, emotional eating, or mood swings
-
Want to understand how food, hormones, and emotions intersect
-
Feel dysregulated or constantly “on edge”
-
Want sustainable tools for managing anxiety, burnout, or perimenopause changes
-
Value personal growth and are ready for deeper self-understanding
-
Anyone curious about how nutrition, inflammation, or lifestyle may influence emotional health
This is for people who are done with surface-level fixes and ready to understand themselves deeply physically, mentally, and emotionally.
What This Looks Like in Practice
This is a collaborative, customized process, not a prescription.
In sessions, we may integrate:
-
Nutrition exploration: Identifying patterns that may contribute to mental or physical stress.
-
Food relationship work: Understanding how emotions, stress, and physiology influence eating patterns and body image.
-
Supplement guidance: Gentle, bioindividual support as appropriate.
-
Nervous system tools: Anchoring, pacing, sensory regulation, and energy recovery.
-
Lifestyle coaching: Repairing daily rhythms for more sustainable balance.
-
Root-cause reflection: Connecting emotional, relational, and biological patterns.
-
Psychoeducation & pattern mapping: Understanding your brain, body, and behaviors to create meaningful change.
We move at your pace focusing on what feels doable, supportive, and aligned with your body’s needs.
Begin Your Integrative Journey
You don’t have to choose between emotional healing and physical balance. Integrative Care invites you to honor both to approach yourself as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms.
If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety, fatigue, or mood swings don’t make sense, there’s likely more to the story.
Your body isn’t broken sure it’s communicating.
Together, we’ll learn to listen and respond with clarity, compassion, and science-backed care.
