Dr Phylllis Heffner
Psychiatrist
“Integrative, Holistic and Functional Psychiatry for all ages”
About Me
I offer integrative, holistic, and functional psychiatry for all ages. As a psychiatrist, I help individuals explore the deep connections between their mind and body. We can work together to understand underlying factors impacting your well-being, moving beyond symptoms. This approach is ideal for those seeking comprehensive care that considers lifestyle, nutrition, and mental health. My aim is to support lasting balance and resilience.
Approach
Care ties attention to biology, daily habits, and emotional patterns to shape how we work together. Sessions in Columbia, Maryland are conducted in English at a calm, measured pace that balances reflection with practical steps, and for younger clients I adjust language and activities to fit development. We review symptoms and routines, try small experiments between visits, and track outcomes so treatment stays responsive to your needs. Families and individuals seeking thoughtful, whole-person change—children, adolescents, adults, and parents—often find this style helpful.
