What Is Integrative Psychiatry?
Integrative psychiatry is a holistic approach that uses both traditional allopathic and complementary therapies in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Personalized treatments are developed to suit each person’s lifestyle and strengthen self-awareness and resources for self-care. These treatments may include:
- Functional and nutritional assessments of individual health differences and needs, which can be addressed in a natural manner through eating patterns, exercise, and/or supplements
- Mind-body centering exercises that increase the relaxation response
- Guided imagery to engage the mind in the healing process
- Gentle bodywork to promote relaxation
Is integrative psychiatry right for you?
- This approach may be helpful if you:
- Experience anxiety, depression, or mood changes
- Feel mentally overwhelmed, fatigued, or emotionally stuck
- Have mental health symptoms alongside chronic or medical conditions
- Prefer a more comprehensive, systems-based approach
- Want careful medication management with lifestyle support
- Have tried standard approaches without sustained improvement
How does it work?
Integrative Psychiatry Services
At Dr. Lifestyle, integrative psychiatry is delivered with intention and clinical depth. Care begins with understanding your history, current concerns, and contributing factors—then develops into a personalized treatment plan that evolves over time.
Physician-led psychiatric care
Meet with Dr. Mondala, Integrative psychiatrist, to explore your health, wellness, and life goals. Dr. Mondala will address your psychiatric disorders through a holistic approach to health. Before the first appointment, you’ll complete an extensive online intake questionnaires that includes a health assessment, rating scales, and other lifestyle factors. We encourage you to upload any previous lab tests and medical records into the confidential patient portal.
In the first session, we’ll discuss your medical history and treatment goals, and formulate a treatment plan that may include laboratory testing, nutrition, exercise, mind-body practices, medications, vitamins and supplements, restorative sleep, herbs, and other modalities.
During follow-up visits, we’ll take a deeper dive into treatment recommendations, make adjustments to the plan, and track your progress.
Functional Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role in mental health. Dr. Mondala offers nutrition-informed guidance to support mood stability, energy, and cognitive clarity—when appropriate and evidence-based.
Medication Management
If you’re already taking psychiatric medications, Dr. Mondala will help you find the most appropriate dosing and regimen. If you aren’t sure if medications are right for you, we’ll help you explore the options and figure out the best plan for your needs.
She also specializes in helping people taper off medications safely, when appropriate.
We also offer precision pharmacogenomic testing to help you find the safest and most effective treatment for your situation. Many medications require optimal gut health and nutrition to work properly, so nutritional consultations are also available as a complement to medication management.
Psychotherapy
Dr. Mondala is trained in various psychotherapy modalities including supportive, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based psychotherapy. She is also certified to provide a coaching-based approach to help you build healthy habits, improve communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and improve your relationships and performance at school, work, or at home.

whole-person care
Thoughtful, personalized care for long-term health
Dr Micah Yu is an excellent doctor! He has helped me feel so much better and has given me a much better quality of life and for that I am very grateful! If you are looking for a kind, caring, excellent doctor that specializes in Rhuematology then Dr. Yu is your man! I have no doubt that he will be a leading doctor in the advancement of finding a cure for many of the debilitating autoimmune diseases that people suffer from today.

Dr. Mondala exceeded my expectations of functional medicine. She is detailed in her questions seeking to understand not only your physical health but also your spiritual health. She truly seeks to understand and care for the whole person. I am not a vegan, but she supports my nutrition and encourages me to try to incorporate new foods and recipes. She’s caring and thorough. I highly recommend her.
Diane G.
Dr. Micah Yu is the absolute best. He has been very informative about my issues with Auto Immune Dieases. Prior to him becoming my doctor I had no idea what really was going on with my body. Because of him I’ve stopped smoking and am eating somewhat healthier. He’s compassionate and cares about his patients. He is leaving the facility where I have been treated however wherever he goes he’ll definitely be an asset to all he encounters. Love you Dr. Yu.

OMG! Best doctor ever- AMAZING! I take my health extremely seriously (life is too precious and short not too). A REAL doctor concerned with your life, not just the symptom. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and present. It is as if you have an expert coach, confidante and physician accompanying you on the ups and downs of the life journey with you. I could never return to the regular medical model physician after experiencing Dr. Mondala. Simply THE best!
Maryloyola Y.
Dr. Yu is absolutely amazing. I went through two rheumatologists and a fancy primary care clinic before finding Dr. Yu. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Dr. Yu’s protocols are a mix of traditional medicine and integrative health, which is exactly what I was looking for. I was struggling to find someone who cared about the holistic-health approach, and Dr. Yu ended up being the perfect fit! You can tell he cares about his patients and is incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend

Dr. Mondala is not only a great physician but also a caring and compassionate one. She gives each and every one of her patients her full attention. Her methods of treating patients really emphasizes the core value of the Dr. Lifestyle clinic, which is that the patients needs are always met!
Sarah A.
Dr. Yu is a great doctor who gave me a second opinion for my ankylosing spondylitis. He’s given me more pathways to consider on top the standard treatment, including a lot of information on diet, exercise, supplements, and general life with ankylosing spondylitis.
Billy G.
Making the switch to Dr. Mondala as my primary care physician has filled my life with positivity and support. She takes her time with me and is always available when I need to see her. She has such a great wholistic approach to healing and wellbeing and I am so grateful to have her in my life.
Susan A.
Dr. Mondala has been the best primary care physician I have been to. She goes above and beyond for caring for me and my family whether its through traditional means or her lifestyle care. She always answers all my questions and concerns no matter the day or time. Anyone who chooses to have her as her PCP is doing themself a favor.
Jose C.
Dr. Micah Yu is a very caring doctor. Have been to several other RA Doctors and He has shown the most compassion and dedication to my individual needs.
Would recommend Him to those who are wanting individual care.
