There have been remarkable strides in neuroscience in the last several decades, but these have sometimes come at the cost of appreciating that mental health is a dynamic reflection of a balanced body, mind, and spirit within a community of care. Recognizing that mental wellness has as much to do with the realization of one’s values, meaning, and purpose as it does with careful medical diagnosis and symptom relief must transform the practice of modern psychiatry. In that spirit, psychiatric practice at Integrative Psychiatry of Iowa, P.C. takes a holistic view of the causes of mental distress and its healing modalities.

Dr. Tansey served on the faculty at the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine from 1999-2009. An abiding interest in ethics and spirituality led to her doctorate in Religious Studies. Her scholarship in the area of integrative psychiatry and bioethics continues to shape her teaching and clinical practice. She is committed to the ethical integration of evidence-based neuroscience with values-oriented healing. The judicious and experienced use of neuropsychiatric diagnosis and medication is combined with careful attention to the experiences and values that shape the whole person. Treatment strategies are designed to be collaborative and compassionate, focusing on insightful living and preventative care.
