collaborative care
+
thoughtful prescribing

ongoing support

Our approach centers queer and Trans people navigating anxiety, depression, and the complex rhythms of life + mood. We blend psychiatric tools, like diagnosis and medication, with somatic therapy and body-based care, honoring how emotion lives in the nervous system and the body.

Integrative psychiatry
considers your full ecology:
Sleep, movement, relationships, gut health, brain metabolism, hormonal shifts, stress patterns, identity, + cultural meaning-making.

Support may include:
Psychiatric medication, nutraceuticals (pharmaceutical grade supplements or micronutrients), lab and genetic analysis, somatic therapy + bodywork.

Medication may be an important part of your care, or you may be looking to reduce or discontinue it safely. Whatever path you choose, we walk with you -listening deeply, collaborating openly, and honoring your agency at every step.

Your Agency Matters

Some people rely on medication as a long-term support. Others use it as a short-term bridge, or choose to taper off when ready. We honor all of these paths. Medication is never the only tool. It’s part of a bigger ecology of healing that includes your body, your story, and your lived experience.

Perinatal Psychiatry

The perinatal period: fertility, conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and lactation. A time of profound physiological and emotional change. For queer and Trans people, these transitions can also be shaped by identity, visibility, and systems that don’t always reflect or celebrate our families.

At Tended Root, we bring thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care to this tender and transformative time. We honor both the hormonal and nervous system shifts that occur, and the cultural, relational, and spiritual dimensions of becoming a parent

We attend to the physical body, nervous system layer, and mental emotional landscape with integrative care that responds to your needs.
