Integrative Psychiatry
with a functional medicine perspective
Dr. Kalyanapu’s treatment plans consider the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
She works with children, adolescents, and adults, with particular focus on complex, chronic, and treatment-resistant presentations. Her integrative psychiatry approach combines medication management with nutrition, lifestyle medicine, selected supplements, and other complementary strategies.
Her work is informed by a functional medicine perspective: looking for the biological and environmental contributors that may be shaping cognition, mood, behavior, sleep, and overall psychiatric health.
Dr. Kalyanapu’s goal is to identify the factors that matter most to you—rather than chase every possible intervention—prioritize them intelligently, and build a treatment plan that is realistic, individualized, and sustainable.
Her model is often a good fit when you:
Want a psychiatrist who considers both conventional and integrative options
Are open to lifestyle and nutrition changes, not just prescriptions
Prefer a collaborative, investigative approach
Understand that complex problems may require a stepwise process rather than a quick fix
Investigate underlying contributors to your symptoms
Psychiatric symptoms often have contributing factors beyond diagnosis alone. Dr. Kalyanapu evaluates underlying contributors such as sleep disruption, nutrition, gut health, hormonal factors, inflammation, chronic infection, environmental exposures, and other medical issues when clinically relevant.
Treatment may include:
Careful medication management when indicated
Nutrition and lifestyle interventions
Targeted supplements and mind-body strategies
Labs, imaging, or other testing when needed
Referral to trusted outside practitioners for therapies beyond the scope of the practice

Focus on relief and support
…while addressing longer-term contributors.
Treatment is designed to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning while also identifying the factors that may be sustaining symptoms over time.
Care is collaborative, with clear discussion of options, expected benefits, limitations, and risks. You are encouraged to ask questions, be curious, and take an active role in monitoring your progress.
