Empowering your innate capacity to heal

Integrative Psychiatry Integrative Psychiatrist - Hope Integrative Psychiatry

We believe in empowering each individual on their path of healing and complete mental health recovery.

Hope Integrative Psychiatry


Our founding mission is to offer a more complete way of helping people recover from mental illness. Historically most people were known to recover completely from depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions that are too often now accepted as chronic conditions that require lifelong medication. Combining insights from the emerging neurosciences and evolutionary psychology with the growing awareness of trauma, grief and moral injury that underlie most chronic illnesses, the Hope Ecological Model was created to focus on uncovering the root cause of your symptoms and believing in your ability to heal and recover completely.

The Hope Ecological Model provides you from the outset with a multimodal assessment from a highly compassionate integrative psychiatrist, a plan to show you how your symptoms make sense and how you are able to heal, change and find meaning in your struggle towards wholeness.

The Hope Ecological Model

+ Getting to the root cause + Empowering the individual Collaborative team + + Transformation Personalized care + Multimodal Approach +

Perzonalized Care

Our services are individualized to best address each person’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances. All parts of who we are are relevant, including genetics, temperament and our early childhood environment, our current lifestyle and the vision we have for a full and meaningful life.

Getting to the root cause

Most symptoms of mental illness are expressions of disconnection from our bodies and emotions, love and community, or meaningful values leading to unresolved trauma, grief and moral injury we hold in our bodies and express in our lifestyle choices.

Empowering the individual

In this new paradigm we are not fated to our genes or our life experiences. At any age we can change our own nervous system’s resilience and tendencies through self empowerment techniques so natural, authentic and complete recovery is possible.

Transformation

Crisis and suffering can bring out the best in us and help us uncover deeper aspects of our character and meaning in life. When we find support that believes in our capacity to grow and change, we move through crises with integrity and optimal healing.

Multimodal Approach

We incorporate modalities such as Herbal and Nutritional medicines, Integrative Psychotherapy for a whole person approach, and Somatic therapy for healing trauma so cautious use of psychoactive medicine is only a last resort.

Collaborative team

We see ourselves as a community working together for the healing of the communities we serve and our society as a whole. We believe only when there is trust and reciprocity in the relationship the best outcomes can occur.

At Hope Integrative Psychiatry we believe if you are ready to look at all parts of who you are, the past, the present, and your vision for your future – and do your part, we can piece your story together at the first appointment providing you with a plan to heal and completely recover.

Integrative Psychiatry Integrative Psychiatrist

Hope Integrative Psychiatry was founded in 2010 by Dr. Omid Naim in order to find a more natural, self-reliant and complete way of helping people recover from mental illness. In this model pain, sadness, anxiety, and distress are our bodies' way of telling us what we need, where we are living out of balance with our innate nature, our personal story of disconnect from our authentic selves, and our need for belonging and purpose with our community and environment.

Psychoactive medicines are used as a last resort and staff are trained in the use of a broad array of herbal, nutritional and aromatherapies as first line approaches to symptom relief and to spur natural healing. When we empower individuals with the proper support and challenge we evolved to need from life, we uncover our innate capacity to heal and can completely recover from most mental illness.
The Hope Integrative Psychiatry model is also being implemented in a major foster care mental health agency, McKinley Child Center in San Dimas, CA, and is the basis of the non-profit La Maida Project whose mission is to rewrite the story of mental health and well being through the use of Integrative Psychiatry Model.

Testimonials

Television & Film Designer

Not more than two months had passed since I marched, frustrated and resentful, out of my erstwhile therapist’s office, privately declaring that I would never again entrust my mental wellness to a “professional”. Years of circular dancing had put my expectations firmly in check and I had lost faith, not only in my ability to grow and heal, but in my very worthiness to do so. It was from that vantage that I found Hope Integrative Psychiatry — if not effective, I reasoned, then at least it would be different. What I found, though, was so much more than novelty.

Hope was a shimmering port in the churning sea of life. I marveled at Dr. Naim’s striking intuition, at the thoughtfulness of his peers, at the benefits of the work, and wondered aloud why everywhere wasn’t like this. As I look out now over the water, gone are the fearful waves of shame and regret; in their place, tides of stillness, peace, gratitude, and love. And I am indebted to Hope for the magnitude of that view.

Prior to meeting Dr. Omid through a colleague last year, I had seen multiple psychiatrists for over 20 years to try and address persistent anxiety and depression present since childhood. Having been prescribed pretty much every medicine in the book with mediocre results (and lots of side effects) I was ready to try a different approach with a Integrative Psychiatrist.

Dr. Naim combines alternative natural treatments and techniques alongside traditional medicine and talk therapy. He made it clear from our first session that the goal was to address and cure the underlying "root case" driving symptoms versus focusing on just treating the symptoms as these traditional medicines do. Under his treatment, I've been making great progress, 100% off of all medications, and feeling the best I've ever felt and it keeps getting better.

I saw Dr. Naim at one of the most critical times of my life. I had severe gastrointestinal issues with gastroparesis, a disease in which the stomach cannot digest and empty food properly. I had seen over 10 highly regarded physicians and I was told by them that there is no cure for me and that my condition will just get worse by time. Thanks to my functional gastroenterologist, I started seeing Dr. Naim, who not only helped me change my life but was the first doctor who assured me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Dr. Naim as an Integrative Psychiatrist used different modalities and tremendous amount of patience, helped me overcome years of trauma, unresolved issues and emotions which was causing me a variety of health conditions. Today, I’m beyond grateful to Dr Naim, because he not only helped me overcome my severe gastrointestinal conditions but he also introduced me to a completely new way of being and living.
