"Holistic [Integrative] Psychiatry values each individual as a unified whole, consisting of mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and environmental forces that simultaneously affect health and well-being. A holistic [integrative] psychiatrist is trained in the use of conventional medicine as well as nutritional, functional, orthomolecular, mind-body, and energy medicine."

  • I am blown away by Dr. Laila's groundedness and insights.

    Her time and care has been invaluable for both me and my family. If you're feeling exhausted and looking for a second opinion, I highly recommend her services. It has given me a route back to health, balance and inner-connectedness.Thank you Dr. Laila!

  • Incredible psychiatrist.

    I love her approach to integrative psychiatry and healing the whole patient.

  • Beyond grateful.

    Dr. Contractor saw my teen after he had seen two psychiatrists -one at UCI- with no help. Very thorough on his history. She looked at him holistically and compassionately.

    And used treatments tailored for him-not cookie cutter. He's doing very well now! Then I saw her after I saw my son's results and she got me through a rough patch.
