The mental health practice of Everest Functional Health
Everest Functional Psychiatry & Wellness
Your symptoms are real, and they have causes. We combine conventional psychiatric care, including diagnosis and medication when it helps, with a careful look at what may be driving symptoms underneath.
Same team, same approach. Formerly known as Everest Functional Psychiatry & Wellness, now part of a bigger practice.

Learn more →Our approach
Root-cause psychiatry, step by step.
We look at gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, hormones, sleep, genetics and environmental exposures alongside your symptoms and history.
A thorough intake
History, symptoms, medications, sleep, diet and stressors.
Targeted labs when indicated
Nutrients, inflammation, thyroid, hormones, gut testing, genetics and pharmacogenomics.
A plan built for you
Nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, therapy, medication or a combination.
Regular follow-up
We adjust as you improve.
Care options
Medication is one tool, not the only one.
Medication management
Thoughtful prescribing with regular review.
Care without medication
For people who prefer to start with root-cause and lifestyle support.
Medication plus functional support
Treating symptoms while addressing what's underneath.
Deprescribing support
For those wanting to reduce or come off medications: a gradual, supervised taper, with root-cause support to help you stay well along the way.
Genetic testing for medications
Pharmacogenomic testing shows how your body processes certain medications, helping us choose options and doses that may work better for you.
Nutrient and supplement therapy
Targeted nutrients and supplements based on your labs to support brain chemistry, mood, focus and sleep.

Common questions
Do you prescribe medication?
Yes, when it's appropriate for you. Some medications have additional requirements, and we'll talk through what's available for your situation.
Can I keep my therapist?
Yes. We're glad to coordinate with your therapist, with your permission.
Can you help me reduce my medications?
Yes, in a safe and controlled way. If reducing or coming off a medication is right for you, we create a gradual, supervised tapering plan and support your body and mind throughout. Please don't stop or change a medication on your own.
Can genetic testing show which medications may work better for me?
It can help. Pharmacogenomic testing looks at genes that affect how your body breaks down and responds to certain medications. Results can point to options and doses that may suit you better and flag ones more likely to cause side effects. We use it alongside your history and symptoms, not on its own.
Do you take insurance?
We are out of network with insurance, but we do accept HSA and FSA cards and can provide superbills upon request for possible out-of-network benefits.
Where do you see patients?
We provide ongoing care for patients in Texas, Arizona, Oregon and Washington; you need to be in one of those states at the time of each visit. Living somewhere else? We offer consultations in other states.
