Your Questions, Answered

  • Conventional care looks for diagnosis and medication.
    Functional medicine looks for root causes — and helps you actually heal.
    We connect the dots between your symptoms, lifestyle, labs, and nervous system so you stop managing symptoms and start understanding why they’re happening.

  • Nope — and here’s why:
    Insurance limits time, tests, and true healing. We’re out-of-network on purpose so we can give you the kind of care that actually works — not what a billing code says is “allowed.”

    💡 However: You can request a superbill to submit to your insurance or HSA for possible reimbursement.

  • YES — most of our coaching clients are not in RI.
    Our functional medicine coaching and family support are available to clients across the U.S. (and beyond).

    Only psychiatric services are limited to Rhode Island residents due to licensing.

  • That’s exactly what the Decode Consult is for.
    In one session, we’ll review your symptoms, history, and goals — then recommend the right path for you (coaching, labs, or integrative psych). No guesswork. No fluff.

  • Both.
    We offer:

    • Functional support for women (especially moms in burnout/hormone/thyroid chaos)

    • Family & parent coaching

    • Integrative psychiatry for children/teens in Rhode Island

    If you’re not sure who in the family needs care first… we’ll help you figure that out.

  • We don’t run every test — we run the right ones.
    That might include:

    • GI-MAP

    • DUTCH (hormones)

    • Thyroid + adrenal panels

    • Micronutrients

    • Inflammation markers

    • Mold + mycotoxin testing

    We recommend based on you, not a generic protocol.

  • Short answer: 3–6 months for real transformation.
    This isn’t a Band-Aid. It’s a reset.

    We offer 3-month intensives or 6-month deep dive containers, depending on how long you’ve been stuck, and how deeply we need to rebuild.

  • Then you’re exactly in the right place.
    We specialize in decoding “normal” labs that completely miss what’s actually going on. That’s where functional interpretation + nervous system context changes everything.

  • Yes — but only if you’re a resident of Rhode Island.
    Dr. Trish offers integrative psychiatric care only for RI clients. If meds are needed, she’ll prescribe strategically as part of a root-cause plan, not a one-pill-fits-all model.

  • We’ve evolved.
    Whole Health Psychiatry is now Whole Health Alternatives — a new home for the same mission:
    Healing the whole person, the whole family, at the root.
