About me

"About Dr. John Smith - Your Holistic Psychiatrist in Sarasota

As a native of Sarasota, I've been deeply involved in our community from a young age. With a passion for helping others and a strong foundation in both medicine and engineering, I've dedicated my career to providing comprehensive, personalized care to those struggling with mental health and addiction.

My journey began at the University of Florida, where I double majored in Biomedical Engineering and Spanish, followed by graduate work in neuropsychopharmacology and psychobiology. I then attended the University of Miami School of Medicine and completed my training and board certifications in Psychiatry, Neurology, and Addiction Medicine at the University of Florida's Shands Teaching Hospital.

At Alternative Psychiatry, I practice Functional Psychiatry and Integrative Health, a patient-centered approach that addresses the underlying causes of disease and empowers you to achieve optimal wellness. I believe in breaking through the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders, treating each person with the dignity and respect they deserve.

If you're dissatisfied with conventional treatments that haven't worked, our multi-disciplinary team at Alt Psych is here to help. We combine traditional and alternative modalities to create a sanctuary where you can collaborate in your healing - mind, body, and spirit.
