Psychiatric care can consist of well thought out, life saving psychopharmacological interventions. Medications effectively treat many emotional and cognitive difficulties and dramatically improve quality of life.  Psychiatric care however lends itself to more than medication management. Psychiatric medications can sometimes be insufficient, not indicated or enhanced with other modalities. Psychotherapy (individual, family, group) can often be an effective way to work through emotional difficulties.

Dr. Court sees patients for psychotherapy, medication management, or both. She is also trained in nutrient therapy.

Dr. Brahma has a primarily medication management practice that she enhances with supportive therapy as needed.

Dr. Court trained with Dr. Bill Walsh on nutrient protocols. Much like traditional psychopharmacology, The Walsh protocols assume that many mental states like Depression or explosive anger stem from physiological imbalances and have unique biochemical fingerprints. Lab testing can help ascertain underlying methylation status, copper/Zinc imbalances, and pyrrole disorder.

A directed nutrient-based approach can then be used to help correct any imbalances. The judicious use of vitamins and minerals can minimize the use of medications or even eliminate the need for them altogether. 

The Walsh protocols are backed by research evidence and clinical know-how and can be helpful for those who wish to try alternative and complimentary treatment.
