AboutWholehealth PLLC
At Wholehealth PLLC, we help patients receive the customized mental health treatment they need to begin the path toward a healthier and fulfilling lifestyle. Our goal is to help patients learn to cope with and manage the symptoms of their condition so they can live their lives to the fullest. Since each patient is unique, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment solution for mental illness.
Our team will help to customize a treatment plan following a psychiatric evaluation. We will also take the patient’s current physical condition and medical history into account. While medication can help with certain situations, the treatment plan can involve a combination of medication, therapy, and other treatment techniques. We may use neurostimulation therapy to help with symptoms of various illnesses.
To begin the treatment process, call us at 832-831-3183 to schedule an appointment and meet with Dr. Huiping Xu to receive a psychiatric evaluation.
