Best Integrative Psychiatry Practices in Dallas (2026)
Disclosure: Willow & Stone publishes this guide and lists its own practice first. The other practices are independent, and we have no affiliation with them. Their details come from their own websites as of September 2026. Please confirm credentials, fees and availability with each practice directly.

Key Takeaways
- Integrative psychiatry keeps conventional diagnosis and prescribing and adds a structured look at sleep, nutrition, labs and lifestyle. It is not a replacement for psychiatric care.
- Dallas options range from a multi-clinician clinic with TMS and in-network billing to small cash-pay practices built around longer visits.
- Check who will actually treat you (MD, DO, PA or psychiatric nurse practitioner) and whether that clinician can prescribe what you may need.
- Payment models differ widely: in-network, superbill-only, or insurance for one state and direct-pay elsewhere. Confirm before you book.
If you live in Dallas and want a prescriber who will ask about your sleep, diet, hormones and lab history as well as your symptoms, you have more choices than a directory search suggests. We compared six practices that describe their work as integrative psychiatry, using only what each one publishes about itself.
How we put this list together
Willow & Stone wrote this guide, and we put our own practice first. That makes it a self-ranked list, not an independent review. To keep it useful anyway, every detail about the other five practices comes from that practice’s own website, read in September 2026, and each entry links to the page we used.
We started from practices that serve Dallas patients and call their approach integrative, then kept those whose sites say plainly who the clinicians are, how visits are delivered and what the care includes. Solo and group practices both qualified. We did not use reviews, star ratings or outcome claims, and we did not contact any practice for extra information.
- Named clinicians with stated credentials (MD, DO, PA-C, PMHNP or DNP)
- A described integrative component: labs, nutrition, lifestyle or supplements alongside standard psychiatric care
- Clear visit format: in-person address, telehealth coverage, or both
- Payment information published on the site (in-network, self-pay, superbill)
- Serves adults in Dallas or Dallas County

1. Willow & Stone Integrative Mental Health
Arlington office (DFW) + telehealth across TX, NM, FL, AK, AZ, CO · Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Willow & Stone is led by Dr. Stacey Forbes, a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Texas Christian University and nearly two decades of clinical work in inpatient, outpatient, emergency and VA settings. Dallas patients can come to the practice’s office in Arlington, in the middle of the Metroplex, or be seen by secure video, which the practice frames as a way around weekday office hours and the social cost of walking into a neighborhood clinic.
The first visit is a 90-minute integrative psychiatric evaluation covering history, current symptoms and possible physiological contributors such as nutrition, hormones, inflammation and the gut-brain connection. Medication stays on the table and is managed in 25 to 50 minute follow-ups. A separate 50-minute lab consultation interprets functional labs and pharmacogenomic results such as GeneSight. Insurance is accepted for Texas patients (the site lists Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, UMR and Cigna); patients in the other five states pay directly and receive a monthly superbill.
- Complimentary discovery call
- Integrative psychiatric evaluation (90 min)
- Medication management
- Functional and pharmacogenomic lab consultation
- Intensive trauma therapy (1–3 days, waitlist)
Best for: Dallas adults who want a long first evaluation, lab-informed planning and video visits
Worth knowing: The in-person office is in Arlington rather than Dallas proper, and the practice does not list TMS or esketamine; for those, look at the clinic-based options below.
2. Center for Integrative Psychiatry (Texas CIP)
Coppell + North Dallas offices; telehealth statewide · Led by Dr. Tahir Khwaja, psychiatrist; PMHNPs, PAs, LPCs, integrative pharmacist
CIP has served Texans since 2015 and has a large multidisciplinary team. Its site describes a physician-led clinic headed by Dr. Tahir Khwaja, psychiatrist and chief medical officer, with psychiatric nurse practitioners, physician associates, licensed counselors, an integrative pharmacist, a naturopathic practitioner and a dedicated TMS team. The flagship office is in Coppell; a newer North Dallas office on the Dallas Parkway opens Tuesday and Thursday afternoons by appointment for evaluations and medication management.
The integrative side runs alongside standard care: functional psychiatry consults led by the pharmacist, nutritional psychiatry, naturopathy and neurofeedback. CIP also offers TMS and SPRAVATO® at Coppell. It says it is in-network with most major plans, welcomes self-pay, sees Texas residents only and does not accept Medicaid.
- Medication management and therapy
- TMS and SPRAVATO® (Coppell)
- Functional and nutritional psychiatry
- Naturopathy, neurofeedback, life coaching
Best for: Patients who want integrative add-ons, therapy and interventional options in one in-network clinic
Worth knowing: Texas residents only and no Medicaid; the North Dallas office keeps limited hours, and TMS sessions happen in Coppell.
3. Everest Functional Psychiatry & Wellness
Dallas · Everest Goldstein, MSN, PMHNP-BC (founder); PA-C and FNP colleagues
Everest was founded by Everest Goldstein, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who also completed functional medicine certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Her team page lists a physician assistant, Morgan Prejean, PA-C, and a family nurse practitioner, Michelle Shaffer, FNP. The practice blends psychiatric care with functional medicine and says it looks at gut health, inflammation, hormones, sleep and stress.
New patients can book a free 15-minute discovery call. Initial consultations run 60 to 80 minutes and follow-ups 45 minutes, and the services page mentions medication management, deprescribing support, genetic testing, hormone management, lab testing, supplements and nutrition coaching. The pricing page says the practice does not take insurance; it provides superbills and accepts FSA and HSA cards.
- Functional psychiatry and functional medicine
- Medication management and deprescribing
- Comprehensive labs and genetic testing
- Hormone management, nutrition coaching, therapy
Best for: Adults who want psychiatric and broader functional-medicine care from the same team
Worth knowing: No insurance billing (superbill, FSA/HSA only); the scope reaches well beyond psychiatry, so ask which clinician handles medication.
4. Nuvo Integrative Psychiatry
N. Central Expwy, Dallas; virtual in TX and CO · Jennifer Adesina, integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner
Nuvo is a small private practice on North Central Expressway run by Jennifer Adesina, who describes herself as an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner. She sees adults in person in Dallas and virtually across Texas and Colorado. Her stated focus areas are depression, anxiety, binge eating, mood disorders, perimenopause, hormonal imbalance and postpartum mental health.
The site is candid about its philosophy: care that prioritizes minimal or no medication, with emphasis on prevention, diet, exercise, sleep and stress management. Listed services are therapy, functional lab testing, nutritional psychiatry, medication management, hormone support and binge-eating support, with a separate maternal mental health program.
- Functional lab testing
- Nutritional psychiatry and hormone support
- Medication management and therapy
- Maternal mental health, binge-eating support
Best for: Women seeking perinatal, perimenopausal or eating-related care with a low-medication preference
Worth knowing: Adults only, one clinician; if you expect medication to be central to your plan, discuss that fit first.
5. Whole Life Psychiatry
Las Colinas, Irving (serves Dallas and Fort Worth) · Dr. Kim Tubbs, DNP; Hayden Statham, PMHNP
Whole Life Psychiatry sits in Las Colinas at State Highways 114 and 161, a practical drive from much of Dallas. Dr. Kim Tubbs is a board-certified family psychiatric nurse practitioner trained at Vanderbilt with a DNP from Texas Wesleyan; the team also includes Hayden Statham, a board-certified PMHNP, and a yoga therapist who is a PSYCH-K® facilitator.
The practice calls its model holistic psychiatry: labs are drawn, environmental and lifestyle factors are reviewed, and medication is used when indicated, generally short term. Other listed modalities include nutritional counseling, detoxification protocols, therapy, yoga-based therapy and PSYCH-K®. The site states that it does not prescribe stimulants such as Adderall, Vyvanse or Concerta, and Dr. Tubbs sees children, teens and adults up to age 64.
- Holistic psychiatric evaluation with labs
- Short-term medication when indicated
- Nutritional counseling and therapy
- Yoga therapy and PSYCH-K®
Best for: Families and adults who want a non-stimulant, lifestyle-heavy approach in the Irving–Dallas corridor
Worth knowing: No stimulant prescribing; telehealth availability is not described on the pages we read, so ask.
6. CopeWell Psychiatry
Telehealth for Dallas; in-person in Texas by request · Dr. Udo Chukwuocha, DNP, psychiatric nurse practitioner
CopeWell serves Dallas mainly by secure video. Dr. Udo Chukwuocha, a DNP-prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner, provides evaluations and medication management, with in-person visits available in Texas on request. Its listed office address is in Killeen, and the practice also sees patients in Oregon and Washington.
Its Dallas page lists lifestyle coaching, nutraceuticals and supplementation, nutrition counseling, lab and genetic evaluation, ADHD testing with validated tools, and medication tapering support. For treatments it does not deliver, such as SPRAVATO® or TMS, it says it refers out. Weekday and Saturday hours are posted.
- Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
- Lab testing and genetic evaluation
- Nutrition and lifestyle coaching
- Medication tapering support
Best for: Dallas adults who want integrative telehealth with Saturday availability
Worth knowing: The office is outside DFW (Killeen), so in-person visits take planning; fees are on the practice’s own fees page.
How to choose an integrative practice in Dallas
Start with the clinician, not the label. Every practice here uses the word integrative, yet the licenses behind that word vary: psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, physician assistants and, at some clinics, pharmacists or naturopaths in support roles. Ask who does your evaluation, who prescribes, and whether that person stays with you through follow-up.
Next, decide how much of the work should be biological testing and how much should be medication. Some practices build a plan around labs and supplements and hold medication in reserve; others treat medication as the core and add nutrition and sleep work around it. Neither is wrong, but a mismatch between your expectations and the practice’s philosophy is the most common reason people switch.
Then do the arithmetic. An in-network clinic keeps your per-visit cost predictable, but integrative services such as functional consults are often self-pay even there. A direct-pay practice with longer visits may issue superbills you can file for out-of-network reimbursement. Ask for the evaluation fee, the follow-up fee and the typical lab cost in writing before the first visit.
Finally, think about logistics honestly. A clinic with weekday office hours in North Dallas or Irving works for some schedules and not others. If you would cancel an appointment that costs you an afternoon of driving, a practice that offers video visits alongside an office may serve you better, even if it lacks an on-site lab or TMS suite.
Common Questions
Is integrative psychiatry the same as alternative medicine?
No. The NIH’s complementary and integrative health center describes integrative care as bringing conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. At the practices on this list, standard diagnosis and prescribing remain part of care; labs, nutrition and lifestyle work are added to it.
Can a psychiatric nurse practitioner prescribe in Texas?
Yes. Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners evaluate, diagnose and prescribe in Texas under the state’s rules for advanced practice nurses. Dr. Forbes at Willow & Stone is a board-certified PMHNP with a doctorate in nursing practice; you can read her background on her profile page.
Will an integrative practice make me stop my medication?
It should not require that. Some practices on this list emphasize low-dose or short-term prescribing, and one does not prescribe stimulants at all, so ask about medication philosophy at the first call. Never stop a psychiatric medication on your own; tapering needs a prescriber’s plan.
Does insurance cover integrative psychiatry in Dallas?
It depends on the practice and the service. Willow & Stone takes several major plans for Texas patients; see pricing. Other practices are fully in-network, and some are cash-pay with superbills. Functional labs and supplements are often not covered even when visits are.
Are supplements recommended by these practices safe to combine with medication?
Not automatically. The NIH notes that some dietary supplements interact with prescription drugs. Give every clinician a complete list of what you take, including over-the-counter products and vitamins.
