A Different Kind of
Psychiatry in Mt. Pleasant

Many people in Mount Pleasant have already tried the usual path. Maybe medication helped a little but not enough. Maybe therapy brought insight, yet anxiety, low mood, fatigue, or brain fog still linger.

Our approach looks deeper. At Urban Flora Psychiatry, we explore how digestion, inflammation, hormones, sleep, and daily stress intersect with mental health. This whole-person lens allows us to create care plans that feel supportive rather than overwhelming.
