Integrative Psychiatry

How Long Does it Take for TMS to Work? - Newport Beach, CA

What is Integrative Psychiatry?

Integrative psychiatry recognizes that mental health is not solely determined by brain chemistry but is connected to physical health, nutrition, and lifestyle choices. It moves beyond the one-size-fits-all approach by crafting individualized treatment plans that take into account a person’s history, biology, and environment to promote healing and develop resilience.

Integrative Treatment Plans

Medicine

Psychiatric medications can be an important part of feeling more stable and finding relief from symptoms. At Resiliency, our integrative approach means we personalize every medication plan, using only what is truly needed and thoughtfully adjusting treatment to balance effectiveness with comfort and minimize unwanted side effects.

Nutrition

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in brain function and mood regulation. Integrative psychiatry emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in nutrients essential for optimal brain health, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Lifestyle

Our daily habits can significantly impact our mental well-being. At Resiliency, we encourage lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, stress management techniques, and fostering healthy relationships. These changes can profoundly affect mood, cognition, and overall quality of life.

In addition to traditional medications, we may recommend certain supplements to support mental health. These supplements can include vitamin D, magnesium, B vitamins, and herbal remedies with evidence-backed benefits for mood and cognition. Our esteemed psychiatrist, Dr. Stefani LaFrenierre, has taken this one step further and created a line of holistic, integrative mental health supplements to support various conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and autism, to name a few.

Blood Tests

Integrative psychiatry embraces the concept of personalized medicine, and blood tests play a crucial role in this approach. At Resiliency we test for vitamin deficiencies, hormone panels, comprehensive health and inflammation markers to fully assess total mind+body wellness.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel a responsibility to warn others about my experience at Resiliency Mind & Body Medicine.

The TMS treatment I received here was deeply disappointing. From the very beginning, I felt like just another number—not a patient receiving individualized care. They use the Brainsway machine, which I later learned is considered less effective than newer models. Even worse, they kept my treatment at low settings the entire time and never re-evaluated or adjusted my protocol, even though I repeatedly shared that I wasn’t improving. It honestly felt like no one was paying attention to my progress.

Communication with the office was another major issue. It was nearly impossible to get answers or call-backs, and when I did, I often felt dismissed. Loren Mendez was particularly cold and unhelpful and cold.

I left this clinic feeling worse—emotionally and financially drained. The lack of empathy, poor communication, and cookie-cutter treatment approach made me feel completely unheard. If you are considering TMS, please do your research and find a provider who takes the time to tailor your treatment, checks in regularly, and actually cares about your outcome. I wish I had gone elsewhere from the start.

TMS truly changed my life. I was debilitated by depression and anxiety for years. I had done a variety of therapy and mental health treatment and tried countless meds which helped alleviate some symptoms but never got me to a place where I felt like my anxiety and depression was manageable. I had a psychiatrist refer me to TMS and I haven’t been the same since. The experience at resiliency mind and body was more than I could have asked for. I truly looked forward to coming to my treatment everyday. My TMS tech, Cyrus, was so personable, and made me feel like my progress and treatment was important to him. I looked forward to updating him daily with my progress. I couldn’t be more grateful to have him as my tech. If you’re thinking about trying TMS I highly recommend the treatment especially at resiliency and ask for Cyrus!

I want to take a moment to recognize our two secretaries for their incredible work. They are consistently kind, patient, and attentive, and they truly care about everyone they help. Their professionalism, organization, and positive attitude make the office run smoothly every day. They go above and beyond to make people feel supported and valued, and their dedication does not go unnoticed. We are so lucky to have them. Thank you Rylee and Loren!

I have never before found a psychiatric group that is so clearly dedicated to making people better. I finally feel like I am under the category of of caring CAPABLE people and I cannot wait to see where they guide me in regards to my future mental health care. Would HIGHLY recommend especially if you are tired of being treated like just another appointment. Resiliency will treat you like a human. A+

***After months of treatment with Resiliency Mind & Body—treatment that spanned everything from Spravato and medication management to TMS and—dare I say—even some much-needed casual talk therapy with the incredible staff—I encountered a decision I did not like. At the time, I felt it violated some sort of freedom or would hinder me from furthering my recovery. Needless to say, I am here to tell you that Resiliency Mind & Body is here to make sure YOU get better, regardless of how you may feel. Dr. L and her entire team will guide you to be a better version of yourself.

I can honestly say that I am better today because Dr. LaFernier and her team LISTENED to my story and devised a treatment plan FOR ME. I thought there was no hope left, and now I legitimately feel excited to be alive!… most days. 🙃

P.S. I cannot stress enough how high the quality and level of support I received from the STAFF was. I wouldn’t have remembered what it’s like to wake up happy if it weren’t for all of you, Loren, Cyrus, Ryley, Jeffrey— I mean I wanna name drop you all but just trust me when I say that this is the team you should trust with your mental health journey.

I have now completed 8 weeks of treatments with "Resiliency Mind + Body".
Specifically two courses of specific therapy.

I have to admit, I have been down the Rabbit Hole for a decades with "traditional" treatment(s).

It has been years since I felt the relief Dr. L provided.

PLEASE, if you feel you are at the end of your rope and exhausted by medications that don't yield the result you hope and pray for, reach out to Resiliency.

From Doctor L, to all her staff.

My only curiosity is why I suffered so long when there was relief within arms reach.

I am beyond grateful.

Sincerely,

Wayne Rizzo

After 4 treatments of Spravato, the results are astonishing. My racing thoughts, anxiety, and preoccupation have decreased substantially. My sleep is much better. Sleep scores have gone from the 60s to the high 80s and 90s.
The practice manager worked with me so I could get a discount when I payed for my treatment in full! So grateful!!
Everyone who I've talked to on the phone and in person has been super respectful.
This is finally an office of Functional/Integrative medicine that walks the talk 🙌🏻
I recommend this place to everyone in the context of Mental Healthcare.

So, this place is so amazing. Having dealt with adhd all my life, I finally found a person and place to help me. So professional, intelligent, and kind, Regina has changed my world by prescribing meds that work. Im no longer cussing and yelling at myself in frustration for misplacing, forgetting, or losing things all together from ADHD. My world is calmer and much less insane without the destraction moving from one project to another while forgetting all about the prior! I've never lived this way in 61 years.
My nerves aren't constantly on edge, ready to beat myself up in a fight or flight. I simply do what is next ( like normal people, I suppose).
Greatful isn't a strong enough word for how I feel, but it will do for now. I dont have to get upset with myself or search Google in a panic looking for a better word to take gratefuls place! Im beyond grateful to have found this amazing place and people who care and have changed my life! There's nobody else I can say that about.
Thank you, Regina and crew, for having the patience I never had until now. You've made my world a far better place to be in. I only wish I got here sooner. However, I probably would've forgotten the name of this place, cussed myself out and lost the directions. Better late than never.
Response from the owner 18:02 25 Jun 25
