Holistic Psychiatric Care for Neurodivergent Women
Leading with botanical medicine and carrying the prescription pad, so you never have to choose.
Board-certified in both psychiatry and advanced practice holistic nursing so your care can be fully botanical, fully pharmaceutical, or beautifully both.
The Mental Wellness ReLeaf Way
Experience pathways to mental releaf.
The Integrative Mental Wellness & ReLeaf Clinic is a holistic mental health practice for women, offering ADHD and autism evaluations, herbal medicine prescribing, nutritional psychiatry, and culinary art therapy - with the full prescriptive authority to add or transition to conventional psychiatric medication whenever your healing needs it.
ADHD & Autism Evaluations
For the woman who has always felt a little different, and is finally ready to understand why.
You've probably known something for a while.
Maybe you saw yourself in a video and couldn't stop thinking about it. Maybe your child was diagnosed, and the descriptions sounded a little too familiar. Maybe you've spent your whole life feeling like everyone else got a manual you never received.
For a long time, you may have been told you were just anxious. Sensitive. Too much, or somehow not enough. You learned to cope, to mask, to push through. And from the outside, it probably looked like you were doing fine.
But you know how much it costs you.
Herbal
Psychiatric Care
You'll receive a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, followed by an individualized herbal treatment plan designed specifically for your mind, your body, and your life stage. Every botanical recommendation is evidence-informed, custom formulated, carefully dosed, and closely monitored. Your herbal medicine prescription is filled by a compounding pharmacy and mailed to your home.

Integrated Medication Management
Because I'm a fully licensed psychiatric nurse practitioner, I can prescribe conventional psychiatric medication whenever it's clinically needed as a complement to herbal medicine, as a bridge during transitions, or as a standalone treatment. You'll never be sent elsewhere for a prescription. Your complete psychiatric care stays under one roof.

Nutritional Psychiatry
Food is medicine, and your kitchen is your pharmacy. Through one-on-one culinary medicine consultations, we'll explore how what you eat directly shapes how you feel and build a personalized, sustainable, delicious plan to feed your mental health from the inside out.
Culinary Art Therapy
Healing doesn't only happen in a therapy chair. In our therapeutic cooking sessions, women come together to cook, create, and connect. Our signature 12-week "Nourish" group program uses cooking as vehicles for emotional processing, self-discovery, and community.

Why This Practice Is Different
Most holistic practitioners can't prescribe medication.
Most psychiatric prescribers are not trained in botanical medicine.
I'm both.That means:
- If herbs are enough, beautiful. We go deep with plants, food, and healing.
- If you need medication, I prescribe it myself. No referral. No waiting. No starting over.
-If you want both, I create an integrated plan and monitor everything together, screening for interactions and optimizing both modalities.
-If you want to discontinue medication, I guide the taper while building your botanical foundation, so you're never left without support.This is truly integrative care. Not either/or, but the full spectrum, in one trusted relationship.
Meet Your Nurse Practitioner
I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Board-Certified Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse. I built this practice because I believe women deserve mental health care that honors the wisdom of the body, the power of plants, and the medicine of the table.Joanne Patterson, DNP, MSN, PMHNP-BC, APHN-BC
