welcome
Bespoke Holistic Psychiatry in Austin, TX
Root-cause wellness that honors your biology, your story, and your soul.
Your Healing Deserves More
You’ve done the therapy. Taken the prescriptions. Tried the supplements, the yoga, the cold plunges. You’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts.
But you still feel anxious, foggy, disconnected...not you.
No one has helped you truly understand what’s going on in your body—or what your mind actually needs to heal. You don’t want to manage symptoms. You want to understand them.
You want a psychiatrist who gets that your nervous system, hormones, gut, trauma, and stress are all connected. You’re ready for healing that honors your intelligence, ambition, and spirit.
Holistic Psychiatry Services
Our treatments are designed for depth, not quick fixes.
. Each service integrates evidence-based care with natural and functional approaches—tailored for high-achieving adults ready to reclaim their mental clarity and emotional resilience.
A full-spectrum approach to mental health. We combine traditional psychiatric tools with root-cause diagnostics, lifestyle medicine, and personalized protocols — because true healing requires more than just medication.
When done right, ketamine is more than a trend, it’s a catalyst. Administered under expert psychiatric care, ketamine can rapidly shift treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and burnout into clarity and connection.
Clear emotional blocks — fast. ART is a breakthrough modality that uses imagery and eye movements to process trauma without reliving it. Many clients experience profound relief in just a few sessions.

LAUREN WILLIAMS, M.D.
Meet YourHolistic Psychiatrist in Austin, TX
Hello, I’m Dr. Williams. If you’ve been feeling anxious, foggy, or not quite like yourself, I want you to know, you’re not alone.
I’m a board-certified psychiatrist who works with people who are often doing everything right but still don’t feel well. My work focuses on what’s happening beneath the surface—from hormone shifts and gut health to past stress your body is still holding onto.
I intentionally keep my practice small so I can really get to know you. We’ll examine what’s going on together and find simple, thoughtful ways to help you feel better—in a way that feels safe, honest, and doable.
About Anima Integrative Psychiatry
I started Anima because I was tired of watching brilliant, capable people get reduced to a list of symptoms and rushed prescriptions.
Too many people—especially those who “keep it all together”—were slipping through the cracks of a system that rushes, numbs, and oversimplifies. I wanted to offer something different, something honest, something that actually works.
Anima means “soul” in Latin—and that’s what this work is really about. Your energy, your story, your biology—it all matters. And it all plays a role in how you feel.
This clinic was built for those who are burned out, anxious, or feeling off, but know in their gut that masking symptoms isn’t the answer. I work with a small group of clients one-on-one, using tools from psychiatry, functional medicine, energy work, and trauma healing.
If you’re craving real answers, if you’re tired of feeling dismissed, if you’re ready to understand what your body’s been trying to say…welcome, I’m so thankful you’re here.

Holistic Psychiatry: Frequently Asked Questions
What is holistic psychiatry?
Holistic psychiatry looks at the whole you — your brain, body, and biofield. Instead of asking, “What pill fits this symptom?” we ask, “What’s actually causing this?”
We combine the best of conventional medicine with functional testing, nutrition, mind-body therapies, and energetic healing. It’s personalized, science-backed, and deeply intuitive.
We treat your anxiety, depression, burnout, and brain fog by addressing root imbalances—like inflammation, hormone disruption, trauma, or gut dysfunction. Healing isn’t about masking symptoms. It’s about transformation at the cellular and energetic level.
What do holistic psychiatrists do?
Holistic psychiatrists treat mental health by looking at the full picture — including biology, lifestyle, trauma, and energy. Instead of just prescribing medication, they uncover root causes like inflammation, gut issues, or hormonal imbalances and create personalized care plans that may include therapy, nutrition, natural medicine, or functional testing.
