Comprehensive Care for Stress and Mental Well-being
At Sagesse Integrative Psychiatry, we recognize that stress is more than just a passing feeling—it’s a significant factor affecting overall health. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety, depression, cardiovascular issues, and a weakened immune system. Our holistic, evidence-based approach integrates psychiatric care, lifestyle modifications, and nutritional support to help you regain balance and resilience.
Assessment and Individualized Treatment Planning
Every patient at Sagesse receives a thorough psychiatric assessment to determine the root causes of their stress. Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) consider physical health, emotional well-being, and environmental stressors to create an individualized treatment plan.
What This Includes:
- A detailed evaluation of medical history, stress triggers, and lifestyle factors
- Personalized recommendations for medication, therapy, and holistic interventions
- Collaboration with primary care providers, therapists, and specialists for comprehensive support
Medication Management for Stress and Anxiety
While stress management often begins with lifestyle and therapy interventions, some individuals benefit from medication. We carefully assess each patient’s needs to determine the safest and most effective options, minimizing side effects and promoting long-term well-being.
Treatment Options May Include:
- Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): Commonly prescribed for anxiety and stress-related disorders
- Beta-Blockers: Used to manage physical symptoms of stress, such as rapid heart rate
- Short-Term Anxiolytics: In select cases, short-term medication may be recommended for acute stress relief
- Natural and Complementary Remedies: Evidence-based herbal supplements, adaptogens, and other holistic treatments
Therapeutic Approaches to Stress Management
At Sagesse, we emphasize non-pharmacological approaches to stress management, referring patients to trusted therapists and specialists as needed.
Therapeutic Options Include:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Incorporates meditation and relaxation techniques to promote emotional regulation
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: Essential for individuals experiencing stress linked to past trauma
- Somatic and Bodywork Therapies: Includes massage, acupuncture, and yoga-based approaches for tension relief
Nutrition, Diet, and Lifestyle Modifications
Research shows that diet plays a significant role in mental health and stress regulation. Our providers offer nutritional counseling and lifestyle recommendations tailored to each patient’s needs.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Anti-Inflammatory Diets: Encouraging whole foods, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense meals to support brain function
- Gut Health and Stress: Addressing the gut-brain connection with probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and reduced processed sugar
- Hydration and Herbal Support: Recommending teas, adaptogens, and hydration strategies to balance cortisol levels
- Exercise as Medicine: Regular movement, from strength training to Tai Chi, as a proven stress reliever
