What if your care team actually worked as a team—and treated your whole life, not just your latest symptom? We sit down with licensed clinical social worker, Kristina Scaglione, co-founder of Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, to explore a model of integrative care. The result is coordinated support that blends evidence-based medicine with time-tested Eastern modalities, designed to help you take charge of your health with clarity and confidence.
Kristina explains how long, unhurried visits enable better diagnostics and how a simple shift speeds recovery. We also talk about client agency: screening for clinical fit, honoring preferences for tough-love direction or gentle pacing, and building plans that feel personal, not prepackaged.
Kristina opens up about EMDR and EFT training, completing the Hoffman Process for deep inner-child work, and the disciplined way she uses intuition to inform trauma-informed therapy. This conversation shows how integrative medicine, holistic mental health and functional wellness can coexist in a grounded, practical way.
