Mind-body approach
Aside providing patients with medication management and psycho-education, my patients are treated holistically which encompasses the mind and body rather than only the illness suffered by the patient.
Psychoeducation
I use evidence-based practice guidelines to provide medication management with psycho-education in my practice tailored to improve overall functioning.
