- What is Holistic Psychiatry?Holistic psychiatry is an integrative approach to mental health that goes beyond symptom relief.

What Makes Sage Different?
Longer Sessions for Deeper Relationships
Our initial psychiatric intake visits last a full hour, with follow-ups scheduled for 30 minutes. This gives us time to understand your story and build a meaningful relationship, something often missing in traditional psychiatric care.
A Collaborative Care Model
Our psychiatrists don’t work in isolation. We collaborate with Sage’s integrative providers, including psychotherapists, nutritionists, and somatic therapists, to support every facet of your mental and physical health.
Specialized Expertise in Psychedelic Harm Reduction
