Our Services
Welcome to Integrated Medical and Behavioral Associates (IMBA), a private mental health practice in Los Angeles, CA. Our team consists of qualified psychiatrists, psychologists, and life coaches who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of behavioral or mood disorders for children, adolescents, and adults. We also offer non-traditional and alternative methods of healing and holistic wellness combined with Eastern and Western meditative approaches.
At IMBA, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our patients by fostering a safe, compassionate, and caring environment that continues to value and prioritize our patients’ needs. The foundation of our approach is rooted in a patient-centered philosophy of practice, which upholds:
- EXPLORING the patients’ experience with the disease or illness, including their thoughts, feelings, and expectations about treatment.
- UNDERSTANDING the person from a holistic perspective by taking into account emotional, psychological, developmental, as well as cultural and social factors, rather than just physical symptoms of the disease.
- ACHIEVING a common ground with respect to the goals, priorities, and potential risks and benefits of treatment.
- PROMOTING Health by discussing and evaluating options for health enhancement and risk reduction.
- ENHANCING the doctor-patient relationship by sharing power, creating and sustaining rapport, and building and maintaining trust.
By integrating these fundamental principles with progressive therapeutic techniques and advanced pharmacology, our patients can hold the health care providers at IMBA to the highest professional, ethical, and moral standard.
Life is short, and Art long; the crisis fleeting; experience perilous, and decision difficult.
The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.
Hippocrates, c.
