Guiding you to a life of abundant wellness & vitality as your highest self.

• ​Symptoms present for a reason. At Pura Vida Psychiatry, we understand that our symptoms are messages that there is something out of harmony in mind, body or spirit. Rather than treat the symptom and try to eliminate it, we look to identify and treat the root cause, so that symptoms are no longer necessary. 

​

• We believe in holistic treatment that recognizes the fact that mind, body, and spirit are inextricably connected. We aim to treat the whole person while also recognizing that the role of the practitioner is to facilitate healing, but that true, lasting healing comes from within oneself and through one's relationship with a higher power. ​

​

• We aim to treat from an integrative standpoint, recognizing that while Western, allopathic medicine has its time and place, more conservative, natural and holistic treatment is often the more effective and supportive means to aid in the healing process, leading to lasting wellness. 

​

• We are conservative regarding psychopharmacological treatment, and it is not a primary treatment intervention of this practice. Our goal is to avoid it wherever possible due to potential side effects, and long-term medication reliance.
