A Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health

You deserve more than a 15-minute med check.

At Spruce Creek, you get the time that you need.

Our appointments are built for real conversation, time to look at the whole picture behind your mood, focus, or anxiety, and build a plan that actually fits your life.

You might be a good fit if you:

  • Feel rushed or unheard in typical 15-minute appointments

  • Want a provider who looks at the full picture, not just symptoms

  • Are ready to partner in a thorough, root-cause approach to feeling better

We treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and Addiction using an integrative, neuroscience-grounded approach, including pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing to help find what actually works for your biology.

The root cause approach to mental health treats symptoms like anxiety or depression as signals pointing to something underlying, rather than as problems to be managed on their own. Instead of focusing primarily on symptom relief, it asks what's actually driving the distress, whether that's unresolved trauma, chronic stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut health, sleep disruption, social isolation, or unmet psychological needs, and aims to address those contributing factors directly.

This stands in contrast to a purely symptom-focused model, which might rely on medication or coping strategies to reduce distress without necessarily investigating why the distress is occurring. A root cause approach doesn't reject those tools but treats them as part of a broader picture that also includes lifestyle factors, relational patterns, past experiences, and sometimes physical health, since mental and physical health are closely intertwined.

In practice this often means a more individualized, multi-pronged process: functional or integrative assessments, therapy aimed at underlying patterns rather than just symptom management, attention to diet, exercise, and sleep, and sometimes lab work to rule out physiological contributors. Proponents argue this leads to more durable improvement since it addresses drivers rather than just effects; critics note that not all mental health conditions have a single identifiable root cause, that the evidence base for some root cause interventions is thinner than for established treatments, and that this approach can take longer and be more resource intensive than standard care.
