Psychiatric Care, Old School Style
Brief Appointments.
Often limited to 15-minute medication checks with minimal time to discuss your concerns in depth.
Judgments & Quick Fixes
Trauma gets treated with just meds, no one really listens, and you're left without guidance or real answers.
One-Size-Fits-None
Standard protocols that ignore who you actually are, where you've been, and what you need to heal.
Forest Path Psychiatry & Healing Holistic Approach
Time & Attention
Longer appointments that give you space to fully express your concerns and work through solutions together.
Whole-Person Care
We consider your unique history, life circumstances, values, and goals—not just symptoms on a checklist
Affirming & Individualized
We listen deeply, validate your experiences, and create treatment that honors your identity and needs.

Here's permission to laugh, to be messy, to show up authentically. Our culturally diverse team combines clinical expertise with genuine human connection, because the best healing happens when you don't have to pretend to be anyone else.
