Holistic Integrative Psychiatry
Catholic Faith-Based Mental Health Care
Welcome to Holistic Integrative Psychiatry. Here, Donna Grandi Assenti's care utilizes Integral Catholic Therapy which goes beyond suppressing symptoms to address the root causes of mental distress, integrating body, mind, and soul. All are welcome, and all are met with respect, compassion, and thoughtful care.
Services
Each treatment plan is personalized to the individual and meets the challenges of every stage of life. Plans may include evaluation, therapy, evidence-based psychiatry, nutrition, lifestyle management, and integrative testing, and are revisited as needs change.
Holistic Integrative Therapy
A collaborative approach combining evidence-based techniques from established therapeutic schools, grounded in a Catholic vision of the human person. Includes CBT, DBT, trauma-informed Brainspotting, contemplative prayer, and grief and bereavement support for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Holistic Integrative Psychiatry
Psychiatric evaluation for mood, attention, and sleep, including the metabolic and thyroid factors behind them, from a clinician trained in psychiatry and Catholic spirituality. Non-stimulant and behavioral support for neurodevelopmental differences. Medication, when used, is conservative, never a quick fix.
Women's Health and Wellness
Support for women through hormonal, emotional, and life changes: the early years of puberty, PMS and PMDD, and PCOS; the seasons of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss; and the midlife passage of perimenopause and menopause. The body is honored at every milestone as part of God's design.
Personalized DNA Testing
Identifies mental health-related genetic variances, which helps guide precise choices for medication and other treatment options.
Functional Testing
A clear map of your unique biology: gut microbiome balance, detoxification patterns, comprehensive hormone levels, and essential nutrient levels.
Integral Catholic Therapy
Connects body, mind, and soul by integrating the prayer practices of the Catholic faith with modern psychology to facilitate deep healing.
