A Different Approach to Mental Healthcare

Are you tired of a healthcare system that treats your mind and body as separate entities? Do you struggle with chronic mental health conditions that haven't responded to conventional treatments alone?

At Empower Mental Health and Wellness Clinic, Dr. Saul takes a fundamentally different approach. She understands that mental health is not just a matter of brain chemistry; it is deeply interconnected with your physical health, your nervous system, and your life experiences. Our practice is built on the scientific understanding that chronic pain, depression, and trauma are biologically embedded, and true healing requires a comprehensive, whole-person approach.

Dr. Saul's journey as a psychiatrist and integrative medicine specialist led her to create a clinical model that bridges the gap between conventional psychiatry and functional wellness. We don't just ask, “What are your symptoms?” We ask, “Why are you experiencing them?” By investigating the root causes (from neurobiological imbalances to unresolved trauma) we empower you with treatments that restore function, alleviate suffering, and build a foundation for lifelong health.

Our Therapeutic Toolbox

At Empower, our psychotherapy services are grounded in evidence-based, trauma-sensitive approaches tailored to your unique needs.

By combining the expertise of both therapists and psychiatrists, we ensure comprehensive support aimed at improving your overall mental state and quality of life.

Our clinicians use a variety of proven therapies including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

To identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

To build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

To process and heal from traumatic memories.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

To reduce stress and cultivate present-moment awareness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

To increase psychological flexibility and live a more value-driven life.

Solution-Focused Techniques

To focus on your strengths and build practical solutions for moving forward.

Telemedicine & Telepsychiatry

We offer the convenience of telemedicine to ensure continuity of care. All initial and annual psychiatric (medication management) appointments are conducted in person to complete required paperwork and ensure a thorough clinical evaluation. Follow-up appointments may be available via Telemedicine at the discretion of your provider.

Health Concerns We Address Our Integrated Treatment Approach

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety is more than just worry; it's a physiological state of hyperarousal in the nervous system. Our goal is to calm this state and build your capacity for resilience. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and challenge the anxious thought patterns that fuel the cycle of fear. To regulate the nervous system directly, we incorporate Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), teaching you to ground yourself in the present moment. For those who feel stuck, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides powerful tools to stop struggling with anxious feelings and start taking action toward a life you value. When appropriate, these therapies are supported by medication management and may be complemented by Exomind TMS using a custom protocol to calm overactive neural circuits.

Depression, including Treatment-Resistant Depression

We view depression as a whole-body condition, not just a brain disorder. For individuals with Treatment-Resistant Depression, Exomind TMS (MDD Protocol) is a cornerstone of our practice, offering a powerful, non-invasive way to stimulate underactive brain regions. This is integrated with psychotherapy, where CBT helps you rebuild healthy routines and behaviors (behavioral activation). We also investigate the physiological roots of depression through functional medicine, exploring factors like inflammation, gut health, and hormonal imbalances that can contribute to depressive symptoms. Our goal is to create a comprehensive plan that lifts the fog and restores your vitality.

Bipolar Disorder

Effective management of Bipolar Disorder requires a multi-faceted approach focused on stability and emotional regulation. Medication management is often a critical component for stabilizing mood. This is paired with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which provides essential skills in distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness to help you navigate mood fluctuations and reduce the intensity of episodes. We also emphasize lifestyle strategies through our BERN (Behavior, Exercise, Relaxation, Nutrition) framework to support neurological stability and overall well-being.

PTSD and Trauma-Related Conditions

Trauma is stored in the body and nervous system, and healing requires more than just talking about it. Our primary modality for trauma is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy that helps the brain process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge. We also utilize somatic (body-based) therapies to help release trapped stress from the nervous system. For individuals with severe PTSD, Exomind TMS (Adjunctive Protocol) can be used to help regulate the brain's fear circuitry, making it easier to engage in and benefit from psychotherapy.

Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms and Compulsions

OCD is a neurological condition characterized by a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. We tackle this with a two-pronged approach. Exomind TMS (OCD Protocol) directly targets the overactive neural circuits implicated in OCD, offering significant relief. This is combined with a specialized form of CBT called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard in OCD therapy. ERP empowers you to confront your fears and resist compulsive behaviors in a structured, supportive environment, allowing you to break the cycle and reclaim your life.

Chronic Stress

Chronic stress dysregulates the nervous system and depletes the body's resources. Our approach focuses on restoring balance. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a core component, teaching you to disengage from the stress response and cultivate a state of calm awareness. We also use functional medicine to assess the physiological impact of stress on your adrenal glands and hormones. For those experiencing burnout or executive fatigue, the Exomind TMS Wellness Protocol can help restore cognitive function and build neurological resilience.

Insomnia and Sleep Disorders

Restorative sleep is fundamental to mental health. We move beyond sleeping pills to address the root causes of insomnia. The most effective treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which restructures the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep. We also investigate underlying physiological factors, such as hormonal imbalances (like cortisol) or nutritional deficiencies, that may be disrupting your sleep architecture. The Exomind TMS Wellness Protocol can also be used to help regulate the brain for better sleep.

Brain Fog and Cognitive Difficulties

Brain fog is not a diagnosis but a symptom of an underlying imbalance. Our approach is to play detective. We use functional medicine testing to investigate potential root causes, such as inflammation, gut dysbiosis, hormonal shifts, or nutritional deficiencies. For those seeking to sharpen their mental acuity, the Exomind TMS Performance Protocol is designed to enhance cognitive function and focus. This is often paired with solution-focused therapy to develop strategies for managing cognitive tasks and improving executive function.
