While we operate within the realm of psychiatry, our approach to healing steps beyond the traditional. We are a small-scale, holistic psychiatry clinic, prioritizing a deeply human-centered approach.
Our approach is rooted in the principles of integrative and functional medicine - and just good care. When it comes to your mental health, we address the upstream causes of your symptoms.
Harmonizing ancient wisdom with innovative therapies such as psychedelic medicine, we collaboratively guide you on a journey towards empowerment, balance, and wholeness. People get better here.
Your mental health is not just a result of a neurotransmitter imbalance or genetic predisposition that you are predetermined to for the rest of your life.
At Driftless Integrative Psychiatry, our focus extends beyond traditional methods, recognizing influences like mold exposure, inflammation, sympathetic overdrive, methylation imbalances, and gut disturbances (including gut dysbiosis, SIBO, candida, and food sensitivities). By also identifying tickborne diseases and their potential impact, we ensure a truly comprehensive and personalized care plan for our patients.

On the outside, patients here often feel that it looks like they are succeeding. It feels like a big lie.
Despite being smart, driven, and caring, life is not easy. They might have achieved big accomplishments. There is often a feeling that "I shouldn't feel like this".
It gets exhausting trying to balance all the parts of your life. It's also exhausting to ignore your emotional needs until they become too overwhelming - and you're faced with no choice but to tend to them.
You deserve to feel better.
