You deserve more than
a quick prescription.
At Lucid Psychiatry, we find the root cause — not just the diagnosis.
Psychiatric care informed by a Doctorate in Physical Therapy — treating your mind and body as one, because they've always been inseparable.
A rare combination of expertise and empathy.
Geleen Salcedo
DPT, PMHNP-BC · Founder & Provider
Geleen holds something rare in psychiatric medicine: a Doctorate in Physical Therapy alongside board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. With over 23 years in healthcare, she has spent two decades understanding how the body moves, compensates, and breaks down — and she brings that lens to every mental health appointment.
When Geleen says "holistic," she means it clinically. She screens for the physical contributors — thyroid, hormones, inflammation, sleep architecture, nutritional deficiencies — that standard psychiatry routinely misses. Her patients don't get a 15-minute prescription pad visit. They get a provider who asks why.
Each patient is treated with the same care, curiosity, and respect she would give to her own family — because Geleen genuinely believes that every person who walks through the metaphorical door deserves a provider who is fully present and fully invested in their specific story.
"I became a physical therapist because I wanted to understand the body. I became a psychiatric provider because I realized the mind was where people needed the most help finding their way back.
— Geleen Salcedo, DPT, PMHNP-BC
If you've ever left a psychiatric appointment feeling like a number on a chart — a diagnosis handed a prescription — you already know something is missing. Real healing asks bigger questions: Why now? Why this? What's driving this in your body, your life, your nervous system?
"You are more than your diagnosis — and your care plan should reflect that."— Lucid Psychiatry
At Lucid Psychiatry, your care plan is built around you — your history, your body, your goals. Every visit is a partnership. You're not a passive recipient of treatment; you're an active participant in your own healing.
Concrete methods, not empty promises.
Every holistic practice says they treat the whole person. Here's specifically what that means at Lucid Psychiatry.
- 01Root-cause screening
We screen for thyroid function, vitamin D, B12, iron, and inflammatory markers — because mental health symptoms often have physical origins most practices overlook.
- 02Body-informed psychiatry
With a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Geleen brings movement science, musculoskeletal assessment, and nervous system expertise that no standard psychiatric practice offers.
- 03Medication as a last resort, not a reflex
We start with lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, and supplements. Medication is added only when the benefit clearly outweighs the cost — and always at the lowest effective dose.
- 04Nervous system regulation tools
Beyond talk — we incorporate somatic techniques, breathwork, and vagal stimulation strategies to help your body learn safety, not just your mind.
- 05Your story drives the plan
Every care plan is written around your values, goals, and what "better" actually looks like for your specific life — not a generic protocol.
- 06Collaborative care, not directives
You are consulted on every decision. Nothing happens to you — it happens with you. That's what partnership actually means in practice.
