Integrated Psychiatry for Meaningful Change

A Thoughtful Approach to Psychiatry

This practice was designed to provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care in a setting that prioritizes quality, continuity, and meaningful therapeutic relationships over volume-driven medicine. As a small, physician-led cash-pay practice, care is intentionally structured to allow for greater flexibility, more direct communication, and appointments that provide adequate time for careful evaluation and ongoing treatment. Services are currently offered to patients located in Virginia and Washington state, and patients must be physically present in one of these states at the time of service due to licensing requirements.

Care is provided exclusively by Dr. Reges Hansen, DO, allowing treatment to remain consistent, collaborative, and personalized over time. The practice offers psychiatric medication management, psychotherapy, and integrated sessions that combine both approaches within the same appointment. Some patients benefit primarily from medication-focused treatment, others from psychotherapy alone, while many find that a combined model provides the most comprehensive and effective care. Treatment plans are individualized rather than standardized, recognizing that mental health rarely fits neatly into a single category or approach.

The philosophy of the practice is grounded in integrated psychiatry, which views mental health through biological, psychological, behavioral, and social lenses simultaneously. Medication can play an important role in stabilizing symptoms and improving quality of life, but treatment also extends beyond pharmacology alone. Behavioral modifications are incorporated whenever appropriate, including attention to sleep, stress management, physical activity, daily routines, and nutrition. Emerging evidence continues to support the relationship between lifestyle factors and mental health outcomes, and these elements are treated as meaningful components of care rather than generic afterthoughts.

The goal is to create treatment that is evidence-based, sustainable, and realistic for everyday life while maintaining a style of care that remains thoughtful, human, and collaborative.
