Welcome to Village Medicine

More Than Just Medication

Psychiatric illness is not simply an imbalance of neurotransmitters. Treating mental health concerns with pharmaceuticals alone will only get you so far. Without identifying and treating underlying issues, you’ll only be scratching the surface.

Optimizing your mental health is part of optimizing your overall health and wellbeing. Together, we’ll explore the interconnected systems affecting your mental health and how your mental health may be affecting your other systems.

If you’re looking for an integrative psychiatrist in Seattle, Village Medicine is here to collaborate with you to address the emotional, biological, environmental, and spiritual components of your mental wellness.

What to Expect

The Integrative Psychiatry Process

Your Consultation

At Village Medicine, we always take it from the top. Your first appointment will look a little something like this: our psychiatrist in Seattle will ask you about your overall health concerns, your medical history, and any medications you’re currently taking. But we won’t stop there. Your provider will take the time to make sure you feel truly listened to and seen—as a person and not just a collection of symptoms.

Your Treatment

We’ll create a treatment plan to provide whole-person, holistic support, specially tailored to your unique needs and goals. Your mental health is determined by a whole lot more than just brain chemistry. That being the case, your treatment will likely involve testing your nutrition, hormone levels, and microbiome. Treatments can range from nutritional support and supplements to counseling, hormone therapies, and acupuncture.

Your Wellness Journey

Mental health is an integral part of your overall wellbeing. And like other aspects of your health, healing and symptom management is an ongoing process that often requires ongoing support. We’re all about building long-term relationships at Village Medicine. Your Village is here to provide mental health support in the now and in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have ADHD?

Regardless of what you’ve heard on TikTok, the way to know if you have ADHD is to get evaluated by a licensed professional. ADHD shares symptoms with other mental health conditions, and each condition requires specialized treatment. Getting diagnosed with ADHD, or having it ruled out, is an essential first step for planning your treatment and optimizing your mental health.

What is an advanced registered psychiatric nurse practitioner?

An advanced registered psychiatric nurse practitioner or ARNP is a registered nurse with a graduate degree in advanced-practice nursing who provides psychiatric mental health care.

Do you prescribe stimulant medications for ADHD?

Our advanced registered psychiatric nurse practitioners are licensed to prescribe controlled substances like stimulant medications when appropriate, but we also specialize in integrative options for managing ADHD symptoms without medication.

ADHD treatments are not one-size-fits-all solutions, and not everyone with ADHD will benefit from stimulant medications. We’ll walk you through the options with the fewest side effects we think would be a good fit for managing your ADHD symptoms.
