What does it really take to heal—not just survive?

In this inspiring episode of Conversations with Intent, host Diana Clark speaks with Dr. Raghu Appasani, a practicing psychiatrist and thought leader in integrative mental health, about his radically human approach to healing the mind and body.

Through his concierge psychiatry model, Dr. Appasani steps outside traditional office settings—meeting patients where they are, from their homes to farmers markets—to address the root causes of mental distress. He shares how lifestyle, nutrition, trauma, autoimmune conditions, and community all play a role in emotional and cognitive well-being.

With a background shaped by his own struggles with anxiety and depression, Dr. Appasani works with a diverse population, including young adults, creatives, and professionals, to foster long-term habit change and self-empowered healing. This episode reframes what mental health care can—and should—look like.
