Mental Health–Informed Primary Care
Primary care that treats your mind and body as one story.
Your mood, sleep, energy, and physical symptoms are all connected. At 3 Roots Concierge Medicine, we take mental health as seriously as blood pressure or cholesterol—because it shapes everything about how you feel and function.
Why Mental Health Belongs in Primary Care
Many people live with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other conditions without feeling truly seen in primary care. We change that by:
Creating space for honest conversations.
Taking your symptoms seriously.
Connecting physical and emotional health instead of treating them separately.
You don’t have to minimize what you’re going through here.
How We Support Mental Health
Mental health–informed care at 3 Roots may include:
Thoughtful, careful diagnosis
Reviewing your history, patterns, and context instead of relying on quick checklists alone.
Evidence-based treatments
Medications and strategies that are often highly effective, affordable, and life-changing.
Supportive visits with counseling-style conversations
Time to process, problem-solve, and build practical coping strategies.
Referrals for additional testing
Such as sleep studies or neuro evaluations, when they can clarify the picture.
Genetic testing when appropriate
To help guide medication selection and improve tolerability.
Collaboration with psychiatry and therapy
Quick access to psychiatry as needed and help connecting with therapists.
Connecting physical and mental symptoms
Understanding how pain, fatigue, GI issues, and other symptoms may reflect underlying mental health conditions.
Active destigmatization
Clear messaging that mental illness is common, treatable, and not a character flaw.
You deserve to feel heard, understood, and cared for.
Sometimes it’s a warm smile, a listening ear, or even a hug that reminds us we don’t have to navigate difficult times alone. At 3 Roots, we’re here to offer that same sense of connection and compassion as we care for your mental health.How do you know we care?
Body Respect + Health Focus
We can work seriously on health markers—like blood pressure, blood sugar, and joint pain—while still encouraging:
Body respect
Self-compassion
A kinder internal dialogue
No shaming. No blaming. Just support and partnership.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine.
If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through life or feeling like no one really sees how much you’re carrying, concierge care at 3 Roots can offer a different kind of support.
FAQ – Mental Health–Informed Care
Are you a psychiatrist?
No. I’m an internal medicine and primary care physician with a strong interest in mental health. I collaborate with psychiatrists and therapists when needed, and help coordinate your care.
Can you prescribe medications for depression or anxiety?
Yes. We provide evidence-based treatment for many common mental health conditions, and use careful monitoring and genetic testing when helpful.
Do I still need a therapist if I join your practice?
Many people benefit from both medical and therapy support. We’ll talk about what you need and help you connect with a therapist if you’d like that.
What if I’m not sure whether my symptoms are “really mental health”?
That’s very common. We’ll explore your symptoms together—physical and emotional—and sort out what might be driving what.
Will I be labeled or judged if I have a mental health diagnosis?
Absolutely not. Our goal is to help you feel better and function better, with honesty and respect. Labels are tools for treatment, not judgments about you as a person.
