Our Focus. our why.
Our focus is YOU.
We See You. We Hear You.
We Believe You.
We center Black (African American)
mental, physical & spiritual health and well-being.
(and other historically marginalized people and communities).
Our Why.
Because when the health & well-being of Black (African Americans) and other historically marginalized persons and communities isn't considered, we experience higher rates of PREMATURE & PREVENTABLE disease and death.
Which, in turn, negatively influences generational health, well-being & prosperity.
**80% of chronic (mental & physical health) diseases & related deaths are PREVENTABLE!**
(National Library of Medicine)
Although history would try to make you believe otherwise,
you're MAJOR, not minor.
(You already know that, though.)
So TODAY is that day, and NOW is that time to
BE MAJOR, across all areas of life and especially with your health.
Our How. Our Why.
Our How.
We specialize in detailed, personalized care that addresses the root causes and contributors of mental (& physical) illness
(and other related symptoms, or concerns).
Our subspecialty is premium & personalized
Black (African American)-centered,
culture & faith-integrated,
functional (root-cause) psychiatry,
integrative (wholistic) psychiatry & precision psychiatry
and lifestyle medicine & preventative medicine.
Our Why.
Because your DNA and story are personal & unique, so why wouldn't your healthcare BE?
What are potential Results of personalized psychiatry?
🙌🏾 BE the empowered resource and director of YOUR health, too!
(e.g., confidently, wisely, and actively participate in and make healthcare decisions)
🙌🏾 Embrace your culture, faith, community & lifestyle as medicine!
(e.g., resolve negative generational patterns,
improve overall resilience and wellbeing, etc.)
🙌🏾 Identify and treat the root causes of dis-ease, through evidence-based medicine, not just the symptoms!
(e.g., sustained dis-ease remission, avoid unnecessary medications, etc.)
🙌🏾Select the best treatment option(s) for your mind & body that promote dis-ease remission!
(e.g., reduction in medication side effects, etc.)
🙌🏾 Reduce, discontinue, and/or avoid no longer needed or unnecessary medications altogether, if appropriate!
(e.g., reduction in the number of medications taken or needed, etc.)
🙌🏾 Improve, reverse, and/or prevent chronic disease & premature death!
(e.g., DNA-level (epigenetic) healing that contributes to
multi-generational health, wellness, & dis-ease prevention, etc.)
🙌🏾 Experience an improved quality of life across the board!
(e.g., increased productivity, income & career satisfaction,
healthy, secure & long-lasting relationships, etc.)
BE AFYA~BE You. BE Health. BE Whole in mind, body & spirit.
Prosper in ALL ways, always.
