Frequently Asked Question

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at cameron@vitalexplorations.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What’s the difference between psychiatry and holistic consultations?

Both pathways at Vital Explorations are designed to help you restore balance, clarity, and vitality — but they differ in scope and structure.

Psychiatric Consultations are clinical appointments available to clients located in New Mexico, where I hold licensure as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

These sessions may include:

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
Diagnosis and medication management (if indicated)
Integrative treatment planning that blends neuroscience, nutrition, and mind-body tools

Holistic Consultations, on the other hand, are non-clinical sessions available to clients worldwide.

They focus on healing through somatic breathwork, nervous system regulation, energy medicine, meditation, lifestyle integration, and herbal or nutritional guidance. These sessions are deeply therapeutic but do not include medical diagnosis or prescriptions.

Both approaches are collaborative, education-based, and rooted in whole-person healing. If you’re unsure which path is right for you, we can clarify during your initial consultation — or you can explore both options on my Scheduling Page.

What conditions do you treat?

I provide integrative mental health and holistic healing for a wide range of emotional, psychological, and physical concerns — always addressing the root causes rather than just symptoms.

Common conditions I treat through psychiatric and holistic care include:

Anxiety, panic, and chronic stress
Depression and mood disorders (including Bipolar Spectrum)
ADHD and focus difficulties
Trauma, PTSD, and nervous system dysregulation

Sleep disturbances and burnout
Grief, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm
Chronic fatigue, pain, or somatic symptoms linked to stress
Hormonal, nutritional, and metabolic imbalances that impact mood

In addition to clinical treatment, I also support individuals seeking personal growth, spiritual alignment, and nervous system restoration through somatic breathwork, energy medicine, yoga, and mindfulness-based tools.

My goal is to help you reconnect to your body’s innate intelligence and restore clarity, calm, and vitality — whether through psychiatric care, holistic consultation, or a blend of both.

You can view both pathways and book your initial session on my Scheduling Page.

Do you accept insurance?

At this time, Vital Explorations is a private-pay practice and does not directly accept insurance.

This allows us to provide the highest level of individualized, integrative care — free from the time limits, treatment restrictions, and diagnostic requirements often imposed by insurance companies.

By working privately, we’re able to combine psychiatric expertise, somatic therapy, energy medicine, nutrition, and holistic tools in a way that truly supports long-term healing, rather than symptom management alone.

If you wish to seek reimbursement, Superbills are available for clients who have out-of-network benefits. Many clients also choose to use HSA or FSA cards to cover their sessions.

This model ensures your care remains confidential, collaborative, and centered on your unique healing journey — not on an insurance checklist.

Can you see clients outside New Mexico?

Yes — with a few important distinctions.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I can provide clinical psychiatric services (including diagnosis, medication management, and medical documentation) only to clients located in states where I hold an active license — currently New Mexico. This ensures that all clinical care meets state and national licensing regulations.

However, I also offer a non-clinical holistic healing pathway that is available to clients worldwide.

These sessions focus on somatic breathwork, nervous system regulation, energy medicine, meditation, and lifestyle integration to support mental and emotional well-being. They do not include medical diagnosis, prescriptions, or documentation but are deeply therapeutic and transformative.

Many clients outside New Mexico choose this pathway for stress relief, burnout recovery, spiritual growth, and emotional balance while still benefiting from my integrative expertise.

If you’re unsure which path is right for you, I can help you clarify during your initial consultation.

Do you offer therapy?

Yes — absolutely. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Holistic Nurse Healer, I provide psychotherapy that blends evidence-based approaches with somatic and energetic tools for deep, lasting transformation.

Our work together often includes traditional talk therapy techniques such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, trauma-informed education, and emotional processing — but it also goes far beyond conversation.

Depending on your needs, sessions may incorporate somatic awareness practices, guided breathwork, energy balancing, nervous system regulation tools, integrative nutrition, and lifestyle guidance to support full mind-body healing.

This multidimensional approach helps you release stored stress, increase emotional resilience, and rewire old patterns at both the psychological and physiological levels. It’s designed for those ready to move beyond symptom management and into true restoration, clarity, and vitality.

Whether we meet virtually or in person, every session is a collaborative and personalized healing experience — not a one-size-fits-all model.

How soon can I be seen?

New clients are typically able to schedule their initial Comprehensive Evaluation within 1–2 weeks, depending on availability and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions.

Because Vital Explorations operates as a private-pay, boutique practice, I intentionally limit the number of clients I see at one time to ensure each person receives personalized, unhurried, and high-quality care.

This allows me to devote more attention to your unique needs and to respond quickly when follow-up or support is needed.

If you’re seeking care for an urgent but non-emergency concern, you can often be added to the priority waitlist and seen sooner if an opening becomes available.

You can view current availability and book directly online — no referral required.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes — I offer secure, high-quality telehealth sessions for both new and established clients.

All virtual appointments are conducted through MALLA, my HIPAA-compliant electronic health record and telehealth platform, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality are fully protected. You can meet from the comfort of your home, while still receiving the same level of personalized, integrative care as you would in person.

Telehealth visits are ideal for clients located anywhere in New Mexico (for clinical sessions) or worldwide (for non-clinical holistic sessions). Each appointment includes the same comprehensive attention to mind-body balance, nervous system regulation, and emotional well-being as in-person sessions — with easy access through a secure video link provided at booking.

Whether you’re seeking integrative psychiatric care, somatic therapy, or holistic energy work, telehealth makes it easy to stay connected, consistent, and supported on your healing journey.

How much does an appointment cost?

My practice is built on transparent, accessible pricing — with rates that reflect the depth of integrative care you’ll receive. Because I offer both clinical and non-clinical sessions (in-person and virtual), pricing varies based on appointment type and session length.

To view current rates and available appointment options, please visit my Scheduling Page, where you can see up-to-date pricing and book directly online.

All sessions are private pay, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Superbills are available upon request for clients who wish to submit for insurance reimbursement.

Each session is a comprehensive, personalized experience that blends modern psychiatry, somatic therapy, and energy medicine — designed to support your whole system’s restoration and long-term well-being.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple — and your healing journey begins with a single click.

Start by visiting my Scheduling Page to choose your preferred appointment type (virtual or in-person) and select your pathway:

Clinical Integrative Mental Health Care – for clients located in states where I hold licensure (currently New Mexico), which may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and holistic treatment planning.
Non-Clinical Holistic Healing & Energy Integration – available worldwide, focusing on somatic breathwork, energy medicine, and nervous system restoration.

Your first appointment will be a Comprehensive Evaluation, where we’ll explore your goals, medical and emotional history, and design a personalized plan for your care. From there, we’ll schedule ongoing sessions to support your continued transformation.

No referral is needed — simply book online and begin your journey toward clarity, balance, and vitality.

Where are you located?

My practice, Vital Explorations, is located at:
3311 Candelaria Road NE, Suite A, Albuquerque, NM 87107

We share space with several other holistic and health professionals, including Blue Sky Body Therapeutics, Square One Fitness, massage therapists, and a family nurse practitioner. This creates a collaborative, healing environment where mind-body wellness is truly supported.

Directions:
I’m located in the building in the back — there is no sign above the door.

The entrance is on the northwest corner of the building. Please park behind the building and come in through the rear entrance.

When you arrive, text me at (505) 999-1488 to let me know you’re waiting in the lobby.

Check your confirmation email for the door code needed to enter the building prior to your appointment.

In-person sessions are offered here in Albuquerque, while telehealth sessions are available for clients anywhere in New Mexico (for clinical services) and worldwide (for holistic healing).

You can also find directions, parking details, and door code reminders in your confirmation email sent ot you after booking your appointment.

Do I need a referral to schedule?

No — you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment.

Vital Explorations is a private-pay practice, which means you can book directly online without needing a doctor’s order or referral. This allows you to begin care as soon as you’re ready and ensures that your healing journey remains fully in your control.

Whether you’re seeking psychiatric support, holistic healing, or a blend of both, your first step will be a Comprehensive Evaluation, where we’ll review your goals, history, and needs to design a personalized plan for your care.

Referrals from other providers are always welcome but never required. If you’re unsure which appointment type is best for you, simply visit my Scheduling Page to view all available options.

Do you collaborate with other providers?

Yes — collaboration is a core part of my approach.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Holistic Nurse Healer, I often work in partnership with primary care providers, therapists, functional medicine practitioners, and other integrative or holistic specialists to ensure your care is cohesive and comprehensive.

With your consent, I can share progress updates, lab or medication information, and treatment insights to help your entire care team stay aligned around your goals. This integrative model supports deeper healing, reduces fragmentation, and ensures that every aspect of your mind-body wellness is addressed.

I also collaborate informally with other practitioners within my wellness space — including massage therapists, chiropractors, and other wellness professionals — to provide well-rounded support when appropriate.

If you’d like me to coordinate with your current provider(s), simply mention it at your appointment, and we can integrate that into your care plan.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that life happens and schedules can change, and I do my best to be flexible while maintaining fairness and respect for all clients.

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, please do so at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled time.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full session fee.
No-shows are also charged the full session fee.
Because each appointment time is reserved specifically for you, no refunds are available once a session is booked.

If an emergency arises, please reach out as soon as possible to discuss options. You can easily manage or reschedule your appointments through the Scheduling Page.

These policies help protect the integrity of my practice and ensure availability for other clients who may be waiting for care.

What is somatic breathwork therapy?

During a session, we use guided breathing, gentle movement, and focused awareness to bring your body into a state of safety and flow. This allows old patterns of stress, fear, and emotional suppression to surface and naturally resolve. Clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected after a session — as if a deep reset has taken place.

Scientific research supports the benefits of breathwork for emotional and physiological regulation:

<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/378840234_Breathwork-Induced_Psychedelic_Experiences_Modulate_Neural_Dynamics" target="_blank">Breathwork-Induced Psychedelic Experiences Modulate Neural Dynamics (Cambridge study)</a> — looks at 14 participants and 301 sessions showing neural complexity increases during intense breathwork.

SOMA Breath+2Digital Journal+2Somatic Breathwork Therapy is a body-based healing practice that uses intentional breathing patterns to help release stored tension, emotions, and trauma from the nervous system. “Somatic” simply means of the body — and this work recognizes that your body holds the experiences your mind may not fully process.

As a Certified Somatic Breathwork Therapist, I integrate this work with my background in psychiatry, neuroscience, energy medicine, and yoga to create a trauma-informed, evidence-supported, and profoundly healing experience.

Somatic Breathwork Therapy can support:

Anxiety, burnout, and chronic stress
Trauma and emotional release
Sleep and mood regulation
Clarity, creativity, and spiritual connection

Sessions may be offered as part of your holistic or clinical care plan, depending on your needs.

You can explore options and book directly through my Scheduling Page.

What is vibrational therapy?

Vibrational Therapy is a holistic healing approach that uses sound, frequency, and resonance to bring the body and mind back into harmony. Everything in the body — from cells to brainwaves — vibrates at specific frequencies.

When stress, trauma, or illness create disharmony, targeted vibration can help the body re-tune itself to a natural state of balance.

In sessions, vibration may be introduced through sound healing instruments (like tuning forks, singing bowls, or gongs), low-frequency vibration platforms, or biofield tools that interact with your body’s subtle energy system.

These vibrations travel through the body’s tissues and fluids, supporting:

Nervous system regulation and relaxation
Improved lymphatic and cerebrospinal fluid flow
Enhanced mood and focus
Reduced muscular and energetic tension

Research shows that sound and vibration therapies can positively influence heart-rate variability, brainwave coherence, and stress biomarkers — all indicators of improved autonomic balance and well-being.

At Vital Explorations, I often weave vibrational therapy into somatic and energetic sessions — pairing it with breathwork, meditation, or energy medicine to deepen the body’s resonance and restore flow.

Clients frequently describe it as both deeply calming and subtly awakening — a full-body reset that quiets the mind and re-aligns the nervous system.

You can experience Vibrational Therapy in person or as part of your holistic care pathway. Visit the Scheduling Page to learn more or book your session.

What is Energy Medicine?

Energy Medicine is the art and science of working with the body’s natural energy fields to restore harmony, vitality, and flow.

Just as your heart and brain generate measurable electrical and magnetic signals, every cell in your body communicates through subtle energetic patterns. When stress, trauma, or illness disrupt those patterns, the body’s communication system becomes “static,” and healing can slow down.

Energy Medicine uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to help your system recalibrate. In my sessions, this may include:

Reiki (Universal Life Energy) — a hands-on or hands-above-the-body technique that channels restorative energy to where it’s needed most.
Crystal Therapy — using the vibrational resonance of specific stones to amplify balance, clarity, and cellular coherence.
Sound, breath, or guided intention — to align the biofield and promote whole-system regulation.

From a quantum physics perspective, everything in the universe — including your body — is made of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Energy Medicine works by influencing these frequencies, encouraging coherence (order) rather than chaos (disorder).

When your energetic field is balanced, your nervous system relaxes, your biochemistry stabilizes, and your body’s innate healing intelligence can operate more efficiently.

Emerging research supports the physiological effects of energy-based practices:

<a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5871310/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Studies on Reiki show reductions in stress, pain, and anxiety</a>.
<a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9670350/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Biofield therapies improve autonomic regulation and immune markers</a>.

At Vital Explorations, I integrate Energy Medicine with psychiatry, somatic therapy, and breathwork, creating a bridge between science and spirit — helping clients experience measurable calm, emotional release, and renewed vitality.

You can explore this work through in-person energy sessions or as part of your holistic care pathway. Visit the Scheduling Page to learn more or book your session.

What is psychedelic integration therapy?

Psychedelic integration therapy helps you prepare for, make sense of, and apply insights from psychedelic experiences—whether those experiences came from a legal clinical trial/medical program or from personal, non-clinical contexts. Integration focuses on meaning-making, nervous-system regulation, skills for daily life, and safety/harm-reduction, not on providing or administering any substance.

In our work together, we may use:

Preparation & safety planning (intentions, set/setting, medications & contraindications review)
Somatic + mindfulness tools to regulate the body before/after the experience
Psychotherapy (trauma-informed, parts-aware, meaning-making)
Lifestyle practices (sleep, nutrition, community, nature, breathwork, journaling)
Referral coordination for legal clinical options when appropriate

⚖️ What’s the legal status in New Mexico?

Medical psilocybin is now law in NM. In April 2025, New Mexico enacted the Medical Psilocybin Act (SB 219), creating a regulated program for psilocybin treatment under Department of Health oversight. Rulemaking is underway; the program is targeted to be fully implemented by December 31, 2027. Until rules are finalized and services are launched, clinicians cannot yet administer psilocybin in routine care. Marijuana Moment+2New Mexico Department of Health+2
Outside of that forthcoming medical program, clinical use is not yet available, and psilocybin remains illegal under federal law. (When the NM program opens, eligible patients will be able to receive psilocybin in regulated settings with trained providers.) New Mexico Department of Health+1

What I offer now: Until the regulated program is live, I provide psychedelic integration therapy only (no dispensing, supplying, or supervising illegal use).

What is herbal support?

Herbal support is the use of medicinal plants to help the body restore balance, resilience, and vitality. Herbs work in harmony with your body’s natural systems — supporting physical, emotional, and energetic health rather than suppressing symptoms.

At Vital Explorations, herbal support may include teas, tinctures, capsules, or essential oils, customized to your unique needs and constitution. I often combine herbal recommendations with nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and energy medicine to create a comprehensive, whole-person care plan.

Depending on your goals, herbs may be used to:

Regulate mood, focus, and sleep
Support nervous system and adrenal balance
Improve digestion and detoxification
Reduce inflammation and support immune function
Enhance clarity, energy, and emotional grounding

From a scientific perspective, many herbs contain bioactive compounds that influence neurotransmitters, hormones, and cellular signaling — while energetically, plants communicate with the body through resonance and vibration, helping reestablish coherence in the system.

Common examples include ashwagandha for stress and energy balance, lemon balm for calm and focus, passionflower for anxiety, and turmeric for inflammation.

Research continues to support the clinical and physiological benefits of herbal medicine:

All herbal recommendations are evidence-informed, personalized, and safe — designed to complement, not replace, your conventional medical care.

You can explore herbal support as part of your clinical or holistic pathway. Visit the Scheduling Page to begin your personalized integrative plan.

Are herbs safe with psychiatric medications?

Herbs can be powerful allies for mental and emotional wellness — but they must be used with care when combined with prescription medications. Some herbs are generally safe and supportive, while others can interact with psychiatric medications by affecting how they’re metabolized or how neurotransmitters are regulated.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I integrate holistic and lifestyle approaches into care and often discuss the potential benefits and risks of common herbs. While I’m not formally trained in herbal medicine, I’m self-taught and experienced in the thoughtful, evidence-informed use of herbs as complementary support.

Before introducing any herbal supplement, we’ll carefully review your medications, goals, and health history to ensure safety. The focus is always on synergy, not substitution — supporting your healing process while maintaining medication stability and clinical oversight.

A few important notes:

Herbs like St. John’s wort can interfere with antidepressants or birth control pills by changing serotonin or liver enzyme activity.
Calming herbs like lemon balm, chamomile, and passionflower are generally well-tolerated but can increase sedation when combined with certain medications.
Herbs such as ashwagandha or rhodiola may influence thyroid, cortisol, or blood pressure regulation.

Research on herb–drug safety:

<a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5936432/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">St. John’s wort and cytochrome P450 interactions</a>

The goal is always synergy, not substitution — using herbs to enhance resilience, calm, and balance while keeping your medication regimen stable and effective.

If you’re currently taking medication and curious about adding herbal support, you can schedule a Comprehensive Evaluation through my Scheduling Page to ensure safe integration.

Are holistic and energy-based therapies evidence-supported?

Yes — growing research supports many holistic and energy-based therapies as effective tools for stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and mental health support. While not all practices have been studied to the same degree as medications or traditional psychotherapy, there is an expanding body of evidence showing measurable physiological benefits.

For example:

Mind-body and somatic therapies such as yoga, breathwork, and meditation have been shown to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, improve heart rate variability, and regulate stress hormones.

- <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9885330/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Effects of breathwork on mood and autonomic function</a>
Reiki and other biofield therapies demonstrate reductions in pain, fatigue, and anxiety, as well as improvements in relaxation and overall well-being.

- <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9670350/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Biofield therapies and their impact on stress physiology</a>
Sound and vibrational therapies (like tuning forks, singing bowls, and vibroacoustic interventions) are linked to improvements in sleep, mood, and nervous system coherence.

- <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11357459/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Sound-based relaxation and autonomic regulation</a>

Energy-based therapies are thought to influence the biofield — the electromagnetic and informational field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body. From a quantum physics perspective, everything is made of energy vibrating at specific frequencies, and when that energy is coherent (organized), healing processes function more efficiently.

At Vital Explorations, I combine these approaches with psychiatric insight, somatic tools, and neuroscience to provide a truly integrative and evidence-informed path toward healing.

Can I combine psychiatry and holistic sessions?

Yes — and that’s actually the foundation of my work at Vital Explorations.

Many clients benefit most from a blended approach that combines the clinical depth of psychiatry with the restorative, root-cause focus of holistic care. This integrative model allows us to support your mental health biochemically, emotionally, and energetically — addressing the whole person, not just symptoms.

In practical terms, this may mean that your plan includes:

Clinical psychiatric sessions for evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based treatment
Holistic sessions for somatic breathwork, meditation, vibrational or energy medicine (such as Reiki or crystal work), and lifestyle guidance
Education and integration support to help you understand how your brain, body, and energy systems interact

Research supports the synergy of combining modalities — for example, pairing conventional care with mindfulness, breathwork, or energy-based therapies can improve treatment outcomes, reduce side effects, and enhance overall quality of life:

<a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2020.00756/full?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Mind-body interventions improve mood and reduce relapse risk</a>

<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34484327/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">Integrative psychiatry approaches enhance medication adherence and outcomes</a>

Your treatment plan is always customized to your goals, comfort level, and medical needs.

Whether you prefer a primarily clinical focus, a holistic path, or an intentional blend of both, we’ll design a personalized, evidence-informed plan that supports your healing at every level — mind, body, and spirit.

You can explore both options and book your Comprehensive Evaluation on my Scheduling Page to discuss what combination is best for you.

Can I book a holistic session without being a psychiatry patient?

Yes — absolutely. You do not need to be a psychiatry patient to book a holistic or energy-based session at Vital Explorations.

Many clients come to me solely for somatic breathwork, vibrational therapy, meditation, Reiki, or energy medicine as part of their personal growth, nervous system regulation, or emotional healing journey. These non-clinical sessions are available to anyone, regardless of diagnosis or medication status, and can be experienced in-person or virtually worldwide.

Holistic sessions focus on balancing the body’s energy systems, reducing stress, and promoting emotional clarity — without medical diagnosis or prescriptions. They are deeply restorative, trauma-informed, and fully personalized to your goals.

For those who later wish to explore clinical options, we can always integrate psychiatry into your care plan once appropriate. But if your goal is relaxation, self-discovery, or energetic alignment, you’re welcome to begin with holistic sessions alone.

You can view available offerings and book directly through my Scheduling Page.

Are sessions available online?

Yes — both psychiatric and holistic sessions are available online for your convenience and comfort.

All virtual appointments are conducted through MALLA, my HIPAA-compliant electronic health record and telehealth platform, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality are fully protected.

You’ll receive a secure video link once your appointment is scheduled.

Clinical psychiatric sessions (evaluation, medication management, and therapy) are available via telehealth for clients located in New Mexico, where I am licensed to practice.
Holistic and energy-based sessions (such as somatic breathwork, Reiki, vibrational therapy, and meditation) are available worldwide, allowing you to receive support from anywhere.

Online sessions provide the same depth, presence, and personalized care as in-person visits — with the added ease of joining from your own sacred space.

You can view all virtual options and book directly through my Scheduling Page.

Do you teach or mentor practitioners?

Yes — I love mentoring and teaching fellow healers, clinicians, and creative practitioners who want to integrate holistic and somatic approaches into their work.

Through Vital Explorations and the SOMA Ecosystem, I offer mentorship, workshops, and professional intensives focused on bridging science, spirituality, and embodied practice. These programs are designed to help practitioners expand their clinical or energetic skillsets while staying grounded in ethical, trauma-informed care.

Topics I teach include:

Somatic and breath-based nervous system regulation
Integrative and metabolic psychiatry foundations
Energy medicine and vibrational healing
Conscious business and practitioner sustainability
Sacred structure, ritual, and embodiment for healers

Whether you’re a nurse, therapist, coach, or energy worker, my goal is to help you cultivate your own authentic healing signature while maintaining clarity, safety, and alignment.
