Integrative Mental Health Treatment at The Lotus Center
At The Lotus Center for Healing & Wellness, we view mental health treatment not as a single intervention, but as a tapestry of care that supports the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Our integrative model blends:
- evidence-based therapy
- careful medication management
- nutritional and infusion support
- mindfulness
- spiritual care
By weaving these elements together, we help clients experience healing that feels grounded, expansive, and meaningful.
Our team collaborates across disciplines so your medication provider, therapist, and spiritual care practitioner communicate and align on your care plan. The result: a coordinated, compassionate approach to mental health treatment built around you.
Combining Medication and Therapy in Mental Health Treatment
One of the most well-supported aspects of integrative care is the pairing of psychotherapy and medication. When we speak of mental health treatment, this combination often offers greater benefit than either alone. For example:
Another review concluded that “combined therapies have been shown to result in significantly better short‐ and medium‐term outcomes in several conditions.” From a practical perspective, the Harvard Health Publishing summary states: “You will improve your chances of getting relief if you combine drugs and therapy.”
At The Lotus Center, our medication management providers (APRNs) work closely with our therapists to create a care rhythm that supports symptom relief and emotional growth. Medication can stabilize mood and brain-chemistry, creating a firmer foundation for therapy. Therapy then helps you process experience, develop resilience, and shift patterns for long-term wellness. Together, they form a deeper, more robust mental health treatment plan.
Supporting the Body: Supplements & IV Vitamin Infusions in Mental Health Treatment
In our integrative model of mental health treatment we take this combination a step further by attending to the physiological foundations of wellness. We understand that mood, focus, and resilience are deeply connected to nutrition, nutrients, hydration, and cellular health.
Our team of medical providers collaborates to tailor supplement regimens, nutritional support, and IV vitamin infusions to complement your therapy and medication. This means we don’t just offer an IV-drip or “vitamin cocktail”—we integrate it into your care context: your current medications, your lab work (nutrients, deficiencies, metabolic health), your sleep and lifestyle, and your mental-health goals.
While the scientific evidence is more limited in this area, there is growing discussion.
- An overview on IV vitamin therapy notes that “by bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, IV vitamin therapy ensures higher bioavailability… allowing for immediate absorption and utilization by tissues and cells.”
- A lifestyle psychiatry article in Psychiatric Times emphasizes that lifestyle interventions — nutrition, supplements, metabolic support — are increasingly recognized as integral to “mental and physical health.”
Our approach is to conduct a careful intake of your nutritional status, collaborate with your medication providers, and design a supplement + infusion plan as one piece of your mental health treatment when appropriate.
When therapy, medication, and nutrient support align, clients often gain greater clarity, energy, and resilience.
Nourishing Spirit & Mind: Mindfulness and Spiritual Care in Mental Health Treatment
We believe mental health treatment flourishes when we include the spirit and the mind’s capacity for reflection, meaning, and connection. We offer mindfulness-based classes and spiritual care that help round out your integrative care plan. Integrative health reviews highlight that mindfulness and meditation practices disrupt negative thought patterns and help individuals remain present amidst stress and symptoms.

We offer spiritual care through our full-time Spiritual Care Director, Jude O’Higgins, Ph.D. She offers group classes on grief, drum journeys for personal insight and healing, and one-on-one spiritual counseling. Spiritual care research shows that clinicians trained in spiritual dimensions contribute positively to mental-health outcomes and client meaning-making.
