Workshop Description

We invite psychotherapists to join this dynamic and interactive continuing education session led by MD integrative psychiatrists, offering a practical introduction to integrative psychiatry. This presentation is designed to bridge disciplines and equip therapists with a deeper understanding of how integrative and holistic approaches are used in psychiatric care—and how these strategies can enhance collaborative treatment planning.

Participants will gain:

• An evidence-based framework for applying integrative medicine in mental health settings
• Clinically oriented guidance on managing common psychiatric complaints with integrative modalities
• Insights into the safe, judicious use of supplements and natural products
• An overview of personalized psychotropic medication strategies, including customized dosing and navigating side effects
• A review of expanded lab testing and what it may reveal about underlying contributors to mental health symptoms
• Other non-pharmacologic resources that support mental health

This session is highly clinically relevant and interactive, offering psychotherapists new tools and insights to better understand integrative psychiatric approaches and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration.

Educational Goals

This workshop will cover a foundational understanding of integrative psychiatry, including how evidence-based integrative medicine principles can be applied to mental health care in collaboration with psychotherapy. Participants will learn how medical doctors safely and clinically appropriately incorporate supplements, natural products, and expanded laboratory testing in support of their treatment planning. The training is designed to enhance awareness for psychotherapists of physiological contributors to psychiatric symptoms. The workshop will enhance interdisciplinary collaboration by providing insight for participants into personalized psychotropic medication strategies and non-pharmacologic interventions that complement psychotherapy and promote whole-person care.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

1. Describe an evidence-based framework for integrative psychiatry and identify how integrative modalities such as supplements, natural products, and lifestyle interventions can be applied to support clients in psychotherapy.
2. Recognize how to collaborate effectively with prescribing psychiatrists by understanding customized psychotropic medication strategies, the rationale behind expanded lab testing, and the integration of non-pharmacologic supports in mental health care.
3. Examine how culture, identity, and experiences of marginalization shape clients' perspectives on both integrative and traditional psychiatric care, and explore how these factors may influence openness to or skepticism toward various treatment modalities.
