Integrative Psychiatry for Los Lunas Patients
Integrative psychiatry asks a deeper question: not just what the diagnosis is, but why the symptoms are happening. For Los Lunas 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. Los Lunas 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 Los Lunas
Los Lunas anchors the growing southern edge of the Albuquerque metro, where new families increasingly seek accessible psychiatric care close to home. Telehealth removes the biggest barriers to care — travel, time off work, and long waits — so Los Lunas residents can see Dr. Forbes from home. Research shows telepsychiatry is comparable to in-person care for evaluation, medication management, and follow-up.
