Intense fears of certain situations or objects, such as flying, driving, or public spaces, which can cause severe anxiety if left untreated.

These symptoms may come and go or feel constant. If they’re interfering with your relationships, work, or sense of safety, it’s time to consider professional support.

Medication Management and Integrative Treatment for Anxiety

Medication can be a powerful tool to treat anxiety disorders, reduce anxious symptoms, and help you regain balance in daily life. At Innate Wisdom Psychiatry & Wellness, we begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms, history, and treatment goals.

Common treatment options may include SSRIs, SNRIs, or other evidence-based medications or supplements. Daniel carefully explains how each medication works, what to expect, and possible side effects, so you feel informed and supported in your choices. If appropriate, our holistic care strategy can also include supportive therapy, mindfulness, somatic techniques, and lifestyle strategies to support relief of anxiety and stress.

Ongoing follow-up is just as important as the initial evaluation. Regular check-ins allow us to monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure that your medication plan continues to meet your needs, helping you move towards lasting relief and a greater sense of well-being.

What Our Clients Say

Over the past three years, Daniel has been an exceptional support in my life. His care goes beyond just diagnosis and standard treatment. In our sessions, Daniel consistently shows dedication and often goes the extra mile to help me.

He's introduced me to various mindfulness and self-care strategies that have significantly improved my mental health and overall well-being. These tools have made a real difference in my day-to-day life and have contributed to personal growth I hadn't expected.

Daniel's approach is both professional and caring. He has not just treated my symptoms, but has given me the skills to better manage my mental health. I'm grateful for his guidance and the positive impact he has had on my life.

I started my mental health journey about 2 years ago and Daniel has been instrumental in my care. He is compassionate, attentive, and informative. Finally a correct diagnosis and treatment has made a world of difference in my life. I highly recommend Daniel!

— Joseph F.


I’ve been seeing Daniel Plastino for about 3 years now and he has been instrumental in helping me through my mental health challenges. I was at the lowest point in my life when I met Daniel, and through his compassion and knowledge of mental health, we were able to not only develop a treatment plan that truly fit my needs, but I was able to get back to living life again. I feel empowered now knowing that I have the tools that I need to navigate through life’s challenges. Thanks Daniel for all you do!
