Robert Imada, PMHNP, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has been in clinical practice since 2014. He provides comprehensive mental health care for adults ages 18 to 65, offering traditional medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and integrative/functional psychiatry evaluations and treatment.
Integrative and Functional Psychiatry
Integrative psychiatry combines conventional treatments—such as psychotherapy and medication—with functional medicine approaches that address the underlying root causes of psychiatric symptoms or illness. This model supports healing and optimal wellness by focusing on all interconnected areas of health: biological, psychological/emotional, social-environmental, and spiritual.
Functional psychiatry, also referred to as functional medicine, takes a whole-body, individualized, and patient-centered approach. It seeks to balance the body’s biology and systems by identifying and treating the unique underlying causes of mental illness—whether genetic, biochemical, nutritional, hormonal, or environmental.
Through precision testing and targeted treatment of deficiencies or imbalances, functional and integrative psychiatry help restore the health of both the body and brain, often leading to deeper healing and recovery beyond what traditional treatment alone can provide.
Robert remains active in the Psychiatry Redefined forum, collaborating with advanced practice clinicians, physicians, and therapists who have received post-graduate training in integrative and functional psychiatry. This ongoing engagement ensures adherence to best practices and the highest standard of patient care.
For new patients interested in both conventional psychiatric care and integrative/functional evaluation, Robert offers a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation prior to establishing care. This call helps ensure a proper and safe treatment fit and provides an opportunity to address any questions.
