Mental Health & Wellness
Mental health rarely has a single cause — or a single fix. Brain chemistry, sleep, stress, trauma, relationships, hormones, inflammation, and plain old life all have a seat at the table.
At Careborne, we take a thoughtful, individualized approach: combining pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, acupuncture, and nutritions in whatever combination actually makes sense for you.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, burnout, or just a persistent sense that something's off — we'll help you figure out what's going on and build a plan around that.
When Life Gets Heavy
Support for clients working through mental health issues
Unhurried care for the mind, as well as the body
Life gets complicated. Whether you're navigating something acute or carrying a burden you've held for a long time, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Our clinicians bring more years of clinical experience to mental health care – combining evidence-based medicine with a genuinely unhurried, whole-person approach. Patients turn to us with a wide range of concerns, including:
-
Anxiety and depression. From mild and situational to chronic and complex.
-
Trauma and PTSD. Experiences that have never been formally addressed.
-
Grief and loss. Some things deserve more than a prescription.
-
Insomnia. Often a symptom of something deeper, not just a sleep problem.
-
Stress and burnout. Especially for caregivers, who tend to put themselves last.
-
Substance use. Without judgment, with a focus on risk reduction.
-
The challenges of aging. Cognitive changes, isolation, loss of independence, and more.
-
and much else that doesn't fit neatly into a category.
Not sure if what you're feeling is "serious enough" to see a doctor? You'd be surprised how often that question alone is reason enough to pick up the phone. Call 941-525-9000 or send this electronic request – no commitment, no pressure, no awkward sales pitch. Just a conversation.
Proven therapies. Real results.
Your Roadmap to Clarity and Balance
Step 1: Getting started (~45 min · $144)
Fill out the intake form and I'll text you with available times for a phone initial evaluation. We'll talk through your medical history, what's going on, treatments you've already tried, and whether medication makes sense. If it does, I'll send a 15-day starter prescription to your pharmacy.
Step 2: Calibrating (~15 min · $72)
Medication takes time to work – and sometimes needs adjusting. We'll touch base at the two-week mark to see how you're feeling and fine-tune as needed. A 30-day prescription follows.
Step 3: Firming (~15 min · $54)
By now we'll have a much clearer picture. If things are progressing well, I'll send a 90-day prescription so you're not calling in refills every month.
Optional: Beyond the prescription pad (~45 min · $90)
For patients who value the connection between mind and body, I offer weekly acupuncture sessions at my North Port office focused on calming the nervous system and restoring balance. For many people, acupuncture serves as an effective complement to medication and psychotherapy.
Step 4: Thriving (~30 min · $72)
Once you're stable, we check in every six months to make sure things are still working. A 180-day prescription keeps life simple between visits.
