Safe, optimized approach to prescribing:

• Minimum effective medication dosing and quantities.

• Effective alternatives to controlled substances for anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress, and attention-deficit disorders.

• Working with outside clinicians to coordinate prescribing strategies, and to eliminate medication interactions, redundancies, and polypharmacy.

• Minimizing controlled substance doses and quantities.

• Avoiding combining controlled substances.

• Controlled substance contracts.

Integrative approach to therapy:

• Encouraging authenticity, humility, and self-awareness.

• Promoting action, change, and growth—not just talk.

• Leveraging patient strengths, skills, and creativity to manage illness, distress, and dysfunction.

• Helping identify distorted thought and behavioral patterns inducing pain, distress, and dysfunction.

• Appreciating humans as conditioned animals with lived experience attempting to function in chaotic, unnatural modern environments, and circumstances.

• Promote catharsis, acceptance, and resolution.
