Kriste Babbitt
,
MD
Integrative Psychiatrist/Medical Director

Dr. Babbitt has been treating patients in private practice since completing her residency in Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine in 2012. She completed fellowships in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and the Integrative Psychiatry Institute's Certified Integrative Psychiatric Provider program, and has extensive training in trauma-related disorders. "Mental health, just like physical health, requires a balance between resources and demands. The biological correlate to psychological stress is inflammation, resulting from acute or chronic challenges to our natural and preferred state of being. These processes work not only in parallel, but they also interweave with each other in obvious and sometimes subtle ways. As I explored more of these connections, it became increasingly apparent to me that optimal psychic wellness cannot exist in the absence of physiologic wellness." Dr. Babbitt co-founded YWP to integrate depth-oriented approaches to functional and physical wellness with depth-oriented psychiatric and psychotherapeutic services, and she enjoys working to fulfill this mission daily with each individual who entrusts her in their care.

Jordan Foley
,
RN
IV Nutrition and Ketamine Nurse

Jordan is a registered nurse who graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Religious Studies.

She is board-certified with both the D.C. and Texas Boards of Nursing. Having seen healthcare from two very different angles, city and rural, in-hospital versus primary care, one thing has remained the same, Jordan is passionate about holistic care and connecting with patients and their families. These two different experiences are what led her to YWP. She felt called to work at a place that aimed to address the patient’s physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs, instead of just focusing on one of these in silo. When seeing her for IV nutrition or ketamine therapy, you will notice that she cultivates a safe, positive space for all. She meets each of her patients with empathy and compassion and is devoted to providing safe, quality care. New to the Houston area, Jordan moved here with her husband and dog.

About

Your Integrative Psychiatry and Wellness Clinic Human beings are complex works of art: a joining together of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual processes into a single being that must navigate an increasingly demanding and complex world. Things don't always run smoothly. The impact of chronic physical stress and chronic emotional stress become indistinguishable on a cellular and hormonal level, and yet each individual we work with brings a unique experience and set of needs. Everything is connected, and everyone is unique. At YWP, we understand this, and we provide services that support wellness at multiple levels of intervention.
