Integrative Psychiatry

Counseling
for
Working Professionals & Parents
I help working professionals and parents with depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and ADHD to regain confidence and control in their lives, live without paralyzing fear, and restore balance at home and work.
I also specialize in working with women who are survivors of abuse and assault to overcome their trauma, set boundaries, and move forward with their lives.
Also, I treat adults suffering from insomnia and nightmares to help them get to sleep faster, have a higher quality of sleep, and sleep longer.
I offer a combination of holistic treatment modalities in my practice that include medication management, therapy, nutraceuticals, genetic & specialized lab testing, lifestyle coaching and more. With me, you don't just receive care, you gain a companion who accompanies you on your journey towards holistic health - and who, by the way, knows how to lighten the mood when it’s needed most.
I am currently accepting new patients in Kansas.
“Just as the whale emerges from the depths to breathe, we too must surface from our depths to find healing in the light of awareness.”
I’m Bob Born, a Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist with a heart for healing and a passion for psychiatry. My journey in mental health began at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where I earned both my Bachelor and Master degrees in Nursing, specializing in psychiatric care. I am board-certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and have dedicated near three decades to understanding and treating the complexity of depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, various sleep disorders and ADHD.
My professional path is diverse, having served in the National Health Service Corp, worked alongside esteemed psychiatrists, and supported individuals across various settings - from crisis centers to the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility. Each experience has deeply enriched my approach, teaching me the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of empathetic, holistic care.
My personal goal is to provide exceptional top-tier care. I can’t call my service concierge, but it is very close. I bring a wealth of insight, sensitivity and sometimes a touch of humor to my practice, allowing me to deliver a broad spectrum of care, from preventive health measures to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions.

PTSD
Haunted by past traumas that echo doubts about your worthiness of happiness.
Feeling isolated in a crowd, wondering where your support network went (also common in depression but can be related to PTSD when due to trauma).

Juggling family tasks and schedules, feeling more scatterbrained than organized.
High-achieving parent but struggling to remember if your kid likes soccer or hates it.
Perfectionist or procrastinator? Either way, always playing catch-up.
Keeping your head above water, yet too exhausted to enjoy life's moments (this symptom can be related to the executive function challenges seen in ADHD).

Testimonials & Reviews
““I’m so happy to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Born. He is so passionate about what he does and it is very evident. He WANTS to help you. Not only is he diligent in trying to help you find the right medication, he provides tools to help you long term. I have learned so much from him. He told me initially when seeing him that he was going to get me to a place where I was living a productive, and best quality life. And he’s done nothing short of get me there. Very grateful for a provider who cares about your mental health just as much as you do. Highly recommend.” ”
““My experience with Mr. Born has been wonderful. In a matter of a couple months, I’ve had more progress with him than I’ve had in years of seeing other practices. He’s forthright, thorough, respectful, kind, and has such a keen and astute sense of observation that helped me feel seen in a way I have not felt before. I am thankful for my time with him and will wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking mental health services in the area.””
“Bob is amazing! I have been seeing him for two years now, and he always makes me feel like a person, not a paycheck! He takes the time (and I can’t stress that enough) to listen, ask me how I’m doing/feeling, and even offers suggestions, tips, and recommendations to help! He genuinely cares for my well being, and is adamant about including me in the treatment process, which I love! I would highly recommend Mental Health Medication Services!”
“I have been seeing Bob for probably about a year or so now. I absolutely can not imagine going anywhere else!! Unfortunately, I’ve visited my fair share of psychiatrists, via private practices and hospitals. But Bob takes the cake by far!!. First, he helped me do some DNA testing to find out which medications where probably better for me according to my personal mental health. He found out that a medication that I’ve taken for several years was probably not compatible with my DNA… he checked until he found something that had a higher probability of effectiveness! And slowly but surely, I’m getting there!! Not only was he genuinely trying to help me from the very start, but he continues to try to help me progress consistently. He always has words of wisdom and keeps up “with the times” and latest research. He truly is very caring and sincere and shows that he’s in it for his patients and not just a paycheck!! He always takes time to listen about anything and everything… He genuinely listens and helps me work through whatever is going on. He really is just an all-around great person!”
