The naturopathic doctors (NDs) at Bluestone Psychological Services have received specialized training in mental health. Their recommendations and guidance are grounded in a growing body of rigorous science.
We have the naturopathic medicine doctors that could be right for you!
Are you hesitant to see a psychiatrist or your physician about your mental health? Are you more interested in a holistic, natural approach to your treatment? Are you seeking this medicine approach option?
What is a naturopathic approach to mental health?
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic, mind-body-spirit approach to your mental health and well-being. Naturopathic physicians take into consideration imbalances in multiple body systems and specifically address your mental health. These imbalances may be contributing to your symptoms. Our doctors work with you to improve your overall health. Through a partnership with us, you will learn a wide variety of options that can help you feel better. You will discuss lifestyle habits (e.g., nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, etc.). You will learn about mind-body techniques. Plus, more conventional medications that could help alleviate your symptoms can also be discussed.
An introduction to herbal and vitamin/mineral supplementation
Unlike what you find at health food stores and other over-the-counter locations, NDs use professional-grade supplements and herbs. These are of the highest quality and can only be dispensed after a consultation.

Is naturopathic medicine covered by my insurance plan?
The answer to this will depend on your particular benefit plan. Some cover naturopathic medicine and some do not. The Naturopathic Doctors at Bluestone Psychological Services select which insurance companies they work with and which they do not. Feel free to call Bluestone’s billing department to discuss this with one of our specialists. It is, of course, always possible to pay privately for these services.
Can I see the NDs for my regular medical care?
No. The naturopathic physicians at Bluestone specialize in mental health. They may order labs that are commonly ordered by physicians in general practice. Their treatment focus is your mental health. They are, however, happy to coordinate your care with any other provider you may have.
If I’m already taking conventional medication, do I have to stop taking it?
No. If you are on conventional medication and wish to continue taking it, do so. You can still benefit from working with a naturopathic physician. Our NDs will work with you to improve your overall health. They will address any contributing factors to your mental health that conventional medicine does not treat. Naturopathic doctors are also trained in the conventional (allopathic) treatment of mental health disorders. They often prescribe and manage some conventional medications, like antidepressants, as well. If you are on a medication that our NDs do not prescribe, you can still continue to take it and have it managed by the provider who prescribed it.
Are there conditions which these NDs do NOT treat?
The naturopathic physicians at Bluestone are focused on the conditions mentioned above. Because of this, these NDs are not a good fit for those looking for help with:
- Suboxone or Methadone
- Mood stabilizers for Bipolar Disorder**
- Stimulant medication for ADHD**
- Benzodiazepines
- Antipsychotics
**The NDs at Bluestone provide supportive, complementary care for ADHD/ADD and Bipolar Disorder but do not manage medications for these conditions.
The NDs working with Bluestone are focused on adult care. They do not currently work with patients under the age of 18.
