Integrated Psychosomatic Psychiatry
Whole-person mental healthcare rooted in the gut–brain connection
Where Mind, Body, and Microbiome Meet
Integrated Psychosomatic Psychiatry is a specialized psychiatry practice offering telehealth-based care that addresses mental health through a deeply integrative lens.
At Integrated Psychosomatic Psychiatry, our mission is to transform mental healthcare by treating the whole person—mind, body, and microbiome. We help patients understand the powerful connection between emotional wellness, physical symptoms, and gut health.
Our approach blends traditional psychiatry with cutting-edge microbiome science to provide treatment that is personalized, root-cause oriented, and designed to restore long-term balance.

Founded on the Belief That Healing Requires the Whole System
Integrated Psychosomatic Psychiatry was created from years of clinical experience witnessing patients struggle with symptoms that defied traditional psychiatric explanations. Fatigue, chronic anxiety, gastrointestinal distress, inflammation, and trauma responses often overlapped, yet were treated in isolation. Through advanced training in functional medicine, psychosomatic care, and the gut–brain axis, a more complete picture of healing began to emerge.
Linda Rushing’s background as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, educator, and integrative clinician shaped a practice focused on depth rather than quick fixes. Her experience training psychiatrists, managing complex cases, and working with diverse populations led to a model that prioritizes safety, collaboration, and long-term balance. Integrated Psychosomatic Psychiatry now serves patients seeking care that honors both science and the lived experience of the body.
