How do you work with clients with depression?
For clients with depression, I focus on a whole-person approach, integrating Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM), Mindfulness, and Nutritional Psychiatry to address the underlying causes and improve overall well-being. My treatment plan includes strategies for fostering clarity, balance, and sustainable change, while leveraging a combination of therapies, lifestyle adjustments, and medication when needed.
Hi. I’m an Osteopathic Physician and Integrative Psychiatrist with over a decade of experience helping professionals, first responders, athletes and other goal-driven individuals achieve momentum, clarity and balance in the face of depression, anxiety and ADHD. By tapping into the mind-body-brain nexus, I help you forge a stronger and more resilient tool to face your challenges. I offer a blend of Integrative Psychiatry, Osteopathic approaches (OMM= hands-on therapy), and Mindfulness-based approaches to help you reach the next level. Visit my website at https://www.kiwihealth.com/provider/TX/North-Richland-Hills/Brian-Mendenhall for more details (and to schedule an appointment if you are direct pay/ non-insurance/ cash). If you have Aetna or Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, use the links below for Headway to schedule the initial consult call. I believe: You are more than a label or list of symptoms—you’re a person with goals and ambitions. The mind, body, and spirit are inseparable. Medication has its place, but the automatic “problem = pill” approach so prevalent in psychiatry often misses the mark. Human capacity for change is extraordinary. When we harness that, the possibilities are endless. My journey in Medicine began with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from A.T. Still University, and I further honed my skills through specialized training in adult psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have additional training in Integrative Psychiatry and Nutritional Psychiatry, in addition to a broad range of extensive experience treating adults in various clinical settings. Outside of work, I enjoy Muay Thai, hiking and hanging out with my pet boxer, and learning about history and Stoic philosophy. I've been practicing Zen style meditation for approximately two decades. I'm here to help you unlock your potential and reach the next level. Contact me for a free fifteen minute consultation call.

My practice combines Integrative Psychiatry, Mindfulness, and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) to help clients harness their innate strengths and achieve durable change. I view each individual as an inseparable unit of mind, body, and spirit, and I tailor treatment to foster balance, clarity, focus and adaptability. Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” or “problem = pill” model, I provide tools and frameworks that guide a sustainable process of change, in addition to using a common-sense approach to medication management.
