Integrative Teen Psychiatry in Murrieta & California
Teen Mental Health Support for Ages 14+
When your teen is struggling, it can be hard to know what to do next.
You may be noticing changes—emotionally, behaviorally, or academically—and wondering if it’s “just a phase” or something more. Many parents feel unsure where to start, especially when previous support hasn’t fully helped.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Signs Your Teen May Need Additional Support
You might be seeing:
Increased anxiety, stress, or overwhelm
Mood changes, irritability, or withdrawal
Difficulty focusing, staying organized, or keeping up in school
Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy
Loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed
Feeling “not like themselves”
If something feels off, it’s worth paying attention.
What Do Holistic Strategies Look Like?
Holistic care means supporting your teen beyond medication alone.
Depending on your teen’s needs, this may include:
Sleep and routine optimization
Stress and nervous system regulation strategies
Nutrition and foundational health support
Behavioral and lifestyle adjustments
Targeted supplementation when appropriate
These approaches are used to support brain health, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience.
What Makes This Different
Longer, more in-depth appointments
Whole-person, root-cause focused care
Utilization of supplements when appropriate
Thoughtful use of medication—not rushed or one-size-fits-all
Integration of holistic and lifestyle-based strategies
Advanced options like pharmacogenomic testing and deprescribing when appropriate
Care designed around your teen—not insurance limitations
Working With Parents
We believe parents are an important part of the process.
We work collaboratively with you to:
Provide guidance and education
Support communication with your teen
Help you better understand what your teen is experiencing
At the same time, we respect your teen’s growing independence and create a space where they feel safe, respected, and understood.
Common Questions Parents Ask
Will my teen have to take medication?
No. Medication is never automatic. If recommended, it is discussed carefully and used as one part of a broader, integrative treatment plan.
Do you recommend supplements or vitamins?
Yes, when appropriate. We may use targeted supplements as part of an individualized treatment plan based on your teen’s unique presentation
Do parents attend the appointments?
Initial visits often include parent involvement. Ongoing visits are tailored based on your teen’s age, needs, and preferences.
What if we’ve already tried therapy or medication?
We take a more comprehensive, individualized approach—looking at what has (and hasn’t) worked while also exploring holistic and underlying factors.
If your teen is struggling, early support can make a meaningful difference.
We’re here to help you gain clarity, feel supported, and take the next step with confidence.
