Our Approach to Care

Personalized, integrative mental health support rooted in understanding the connection between the mind, body, and nervous system.

​

At Mind Over Mood, care begins with listening. Each individual is met with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to understanding their unique experiences, history, and goals. The focus is not only on symptom relief, but on creating long-term balance, clarity, and overall well-being.

​

HOLISTIC & ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES

Supporting the Nervous System

In addition to traditional psychiatric care, holistic approaches may be incorporated to support deeper healing:

• Sound healing

• Breathwork

• Meditation & mindfulness

• Gentle movement / yoga

• Nervous system regulation practices

​

These modalities help shift the body out of stress responses and into a state of balance, allowing emotional processing and healing to occur more naturally.

​

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

Understanding You as a Whole Person

Care starts with a thorough and thoughtful evaluation, including:

• Exploration of thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns

• Mental health history, childhood and family dynamics

• Current life stressors and environmental factors

• Strengths, goals, and protective factors

• Review of previous psychiatric records and labs

• Medication reconciliation

​

When appropriate:

• Genetic testing (GeneSight) to help guide medication selection and reduce trial-and-error
