Counseling

I encourage a majority of my clients to combine integrative naturopathic care with psychological counseling. A combination approach with a therapist or social worker helps clients progress deeper and quicker than any one treatment by itself. Counseling can help unlock hidden beliefs and unresolved experiences that might be holding you back from experiencing peace and resilience in your life. Typically when one person in a family is suffering from an untreated or poorly managed mental illness or challenging life transition, the entire family or community network struggles. Counseling provides a safe structure to heal and explore unresolved issues in one's life. It’s a space to heal trauma, learn and implement healthy lifestyle adjustments, and support during the many challenges that occur throughout life. I  often refer my clients to trusted therapists within the local area to add this important aspect of care to their health plan. 

If you know of a therapist that is skillful or are a therapist yourself, please get in touch with Dr. Adriana Berusch Gerardino to become a trusted referral.

Psychiatry & Conventional Medicine

I enjoy working in collaboration with psychiatrists or prescribing providers involved in my client’s care team to ensure care is comprehensive. Many of my clients are already taking medication when they start care with me. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I am trained in medication management, integration of medications into a natural protocol, how to safely combine medications with botanical medicine or homeopathic therapies, detox, withdrawal, medication tapering, medication adjusting, or natural substitutions when indicated and appropriate. As a natural medicine expert, I am knowledgeable on how to reduce side-effects, minimize herb-med interactions, and help my clients get even better results for a more stable and joyful life. However you want to work with your health is how I want to work with it. I am here to support your goals for yourself in a safe and sustainable way.
