As a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor, Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider, and Ordained Healing Minister, I work with people with behavioral/emotional/mental/spiritual wellness issues from the point of supporting brain wellness while they are undergoing counseling and/or psychiatric care. Supportive services can be short-term (3-4 weeks) or ongoing, depending on the issues and client preference. Healthy lifestyle is stressed in conjunction with natural solutions that often help people more readily engage in the counseling process, such as Emotional Freedom Technique, other energy techniques, essential oils, and flower and other subtle remedies, to name a few potential adjunct interventions. 

​

As a women's wellness community, Natural Wellness for Women LLC sees people who are biologically female, transgender either direction, or nonbinary with enough femininity to believe they would benefit from services targeting women. If you are solidly "just a guy," we love you, too, and please go to someone whose focus includes people who are solidly "just guys." You're welcome in emergency response training classes, and with a pregnant partner in childbirth education classes.

​

The brain is the softest, most powerful organ in the body, is not separate from the body, and needs and deserves respectful and supportive self-care. An individualized mental health lifestyle plan is developed with clients to guide them in giving their brains the most supportive and respectful self-care they can.

I was an LPCC/LCDC-III who worked in the mental health and chemical dependency treatment systems for 20 years. I no longer provide counseling, case management, or crisis intervention services. [In the Louisville area, call 800-221-0446 for crisis intervention services.] Services I provide are adjunct, not alternative. For instance, I will never recommend replacing psychiatric medications with herbs, and when recommending herbs, I will always seek to verify absence of any known potentially harmful interactions before making a recommendation. I do require a Release of Information with a client's mental health treatment professionals before engaging with a potential client for integrative mental health services. The meaning of integrative is "combining two or more things to make them more effective." Communication is essential between services in order to combine them.

BCNDs and CIMHPs are not allowed to bill insurance in most states. Natural Wellness for Women LLC is a cash/"plastic" only practice, and payment must be made at the time of service, prior to being seen. Services may be able to be paid with an FSA account when a referral for services is made by a treating professional. 

Recommended products such as supplements, essential oils, Bach flowers, etc., are at extra cost.
