Integrative Psychiatry for Keller Patients
Integrative psychiatry asks a deeper question: not just what the diagnosis is, but why the symptoms are happening. For Keller 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. Keller patients receive a personalized plan that may include medication, targeted lab work, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies, all delivered by secure telehealth.
Integrative Psychiatry in Keller: the local picture
Keller is a family-oriented city in northeast Tarrant County, comfortable and residential, with a population weighted toward households with school-age children and professionals commuting into Fort Worth or the mid-cities. It has the character of a place people move to and stay, which means care relationships here tend to be long ones — families want a clinician who will still be there in three years, not a rotation of whoever has availability. Adolescent mental health is the dominant local demand, closely followed by adults managing anxiety alongside demanding jobs.
Getting care in Keller
Keller itself is small enough that most specialty care is somewhere else, so nearly every psychiatric referral involves a drive into Fort Worth or across the mid-cities. For routine medication follow-ups, that trip is disproportionate to the length of the visit, and it is the first thing to be skipped when a week gets busy. Telehealth makes continuity realistic, which matters most for the families who want a lasting relationship with one clinician rather than a series of intakes.
What this means for Keller patients
Patients who have already tried conventional treatment without a full response are often looking for something more thorough than another prescription. An integrative evaluation examines labs, hormones, sleep, and nutrition as contributors rather than as an alternative to psychiatric care.
Parents — particularly in the years after childbirth — commonly present with fatigue and mood changes that have real physiological contributors, including thyroid and nutritional factors. Checking those before concluding the diagnosis is straightforward and frequently skipped.
Post-traumatic stress, disrupted sleep, chronic pain, and the physiological effects of prolonged stress rarely present separately in service members and veterans. An integrative evaluation looks at the whole picture — including sleep architecture and relevant labs — rather than treating whichever symptom was named first.
