Partnerships

​Rising Lotus Integrative Psychiatry we believe in a comprehensive approach to mental health that considers the whole person—mind and body. To ensure our patients receive the best possible care, we collaborate with a trusted holistic Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Jessica Muniz who specializes in complex medical conditions. This partnership allows us to seamlessly integrate physical and mental healthcare, addressing underlying medical concerns that may impact psychiatric well-being. By working together, we can ensure that our patients receive well-rounded, evidence-based care tailored to their unique needs.

​

Jessica Muniz, MSN, NP-C is a AANP board certified family nurse practitioner, whose philosophy of medicine and healing is deeply rooted in naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic medicine recognizes the body's inherent ability to heal itself, and as a holistic practitioner, Jessica aims to support and facilitate this natural healing process by identifying and removing obstacles to health while promoting therapies that stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. Jessica seeks to understand and address the underlying causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. By addressing the root cause of disease, rather than just alleviating symptoms, long-term healing and vitality can be achieved.

​

As a family nurse practitioner, Jessica Muniz treats the whole family and has specialities in women’s health, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, gastrointestinal disorders, food sensitivities, chronic urinary tract infections (UTI) and vaginitis, Interstitial cystitis, and autoimmunity.

She has spent the last several years treating perimenopause and menopause and has done extensive training on the subject through her own reading and continuing education courses. She was mentored for two years by a naturopathic doctor and nurse practitioner, who spent 36 years focused solely on women's health. She takes a whole person approach to this time of a woman's life and sees it as an incredible opportunity to assess a woman's health and help her understand her body, risk factors, and goals in order to attain optimal health and longevity in the second half of her life. 

​

She has a BA in Psychology from Cornell University and a BSN in Nursing from Regis University. She received her Masters of Science in Nursing from Regis University and graduated with honors.
