Integrative psychiatry in Los Angeles combines evidence-based medication management, talk therapy, and functional medicine to treat the whole person. At LA Integrative Psychiatry in Burbank, this approach looks at sleep, nutrition, genetics, and lifestyle alongside standard psychiatric care to help you feel better.
If you have tried medication that did not work, felt rushed in 15-minute visits, or want a second opinion before adding another prescription, this guide will help you understand what integrative psychiatry is, who it helps, and what to expect.
Integrative psychiatry is a treatment model that combines conventional psychiatric medicine with functional and lifestyle-based care. It is not alternative medicine. It is mainstream psychiatry expanded to include factors that affect mental health but often get overlooked in short office visits.
A typical integrative visit looks at:
The goal is to understand the real cause of your symptoms, not just suppress them.
Most traditional psychiatry visits last 15 minutes and focus almost entirely on medication. That model works for many people. For others, especially those with complex or treatment-resistant conditions, it leaves important factors unexamined.
Integrative psychiatry differs in three main ways:
Evidence suggests that combined medication and therapy may produce better outcomes for conditions like depression and OCD than either treatment alone.
Integrative psychiatry is used for the same conditions any psychiatrist treats. The difference is in the depth of the workup. Common conditions seen at LA Integrative Psychiatry include:
For each condition, the treatment plan may include medication, therapy, genetic testing, lifestyle changes, or some combination of all four.
Care at the Burbank office follows a clear path:
In-person visits are available at the Burbank office at 1612 W Olive Ave, Suite 200. Telehealth psychiatry visits are available statewide across California for established patients and, in many cases, for new patients as well.
Functional psychiatry is a subset of integrative psychiatry. It focuses specifically on root-cause analysis, looking at biology, biochemistry, and physiology to understand why symptoms appear.
A functional psychiatry assessment may include:
Functional psychiatry does not replace medication. It informs medication choices and adds tools that evidence suggests may improve outcomes for patients who have not responded fully to standard care.
Yes. At LA Integrative Psychiatry, most major insurance plans are accepted, including Medicare, Anthem Blue Cross, and UnitedHealthcare. This is one of the key differences between LAIP and many integrative or functional psychiatry practices that operate cash-only.

Integrative psychiatry may be a good fit if you:
It may not be the right fit if you need emergency psychiatric care, inpatient treatment, or services LAIP does not provide such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or ketamine infusion. In those cases, your provider can give referrals.
