Introducing Driftless Integrative Psychiatry, the place where full person healing is not just a goal, but a way of life. Tucked away in the verdant heartlands of Iowa, we focus on functional psychiatry, offering a holistic approach to mental health that shifts beyond the confines of traditional psych care. Led by the welcoming and dedicated Dr. Erica Burger, our practice acknowledges that you may appear prolific and successful on the outside, yet feel as though you're living a lie. Simultaneously competent, hard-working, and compassionate, life may still be unrelenting. We understand the tiresome task of balancing uncovered emotional needs and life's many components, eventually leading to overwhelming moments when attending to these needs becomes unavoidable.

Driftless Integrative Psychiatry is dedicated to a small-scale, deeply human-centered method whereby integrative and functional medical principles serve as our compass. We cull wisdom from ancestral traditions and incorporate innovative therapies, such as psychedelic medicine, to journey collaboratively with you towards empowerment, balance, and holistic health. We address the root causes of your symptoms, aiming at enhancing mental health rather than simply treating the symptoms. Moreover, we maintain that mental health is more than predetermined neurotransmitter imbalances or genetic predispositions. Hence, our work extends to understanding the influence of elements like mold exposure, inflammation, sympathetic overdrive, methylation imbalances, and gut disturbances for a genuinely comprehensive and personalized care plan. We also explore the potential impact of tick-borne diseases, side effects of current psychiatric medications, and menstrual cycle-related mental health issues. Equally, we also delve into optimizing brain health through a lens of metabolic health and longevity medicine, providing an all-encompassing approach to psychiatric care.
