Integrative Psychiatry for Gallup Patients
Integrative psychiatry asks a deeper question: not just what the diagnosis is, but why the symptoms are happening. For Gallup patients, Willow & Stone blends evidence-based psychiatry with functional medicine — evaluating the gut-brain connection, nutrition, hormones, and inflammation alongside conventional treatment.
What an integrative approach includes
- ✓Root-cause evaluation, not just a diagnosis code
- ✓Advanced lab consultation (hormones, nutrients, inflammation, genetics)
- ✓Gut-brain and nutritional psychiatry strategies
- ✓Thoughtful medication management when it’s the right tool
- ✓Longer, collaborative appointments
Our Treatment Approach
Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, PMHNP-BC, treats the whole person — combining conventional, evidence-based psychiatry with the physiological drivers of mood, focus, and anxiety. Gallup patients receive a personalized plan that may include medication, targeted lab work, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies, all delivered by secure telehealth.
Why Telehealth Works for Gallup
Gallup, a gateway to the Navajo Nation, sits in a region of profound mental health need and limited access, where telepsychiatry extends expert care to those who need it most. Telehealth removes the biggest barriers to care — travel, time off work, and long waits — so Gallup residents can see Dr. Forbes from home. Research shows telepsychiatry is comparable to in-person care for evaluation, medication management, and follow-up.
