Meet Dr. Nubia Chong — Integrative Psychiatrist
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist based in San Diego, CA offering virtual care to women across California and New York. I support women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, Insomnia and reproductive mental health through a thoughtful, integrative approach — one that honors your body's wisdom and moves at a pace your nervous system can trust.
As a bilingual Latinx woman, daughter of immigrants, and mother, I know firsthand how much culture, identity, and lived experience shape our wellbeing — and how rarely that is honored in clinical spaces. At Raíces, it is central to everything.
You don't have to hold it all alone anymore. We can move through this together.
A Holistic Approach to Women's Reproductive Mental Health
Psychiatry and holistic healing are not opposites. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative — meaning we dig deeper than symptoms. We review labs for optimal health, not just normal ranges. We explore root causes, not just diagnoses. And we consider your full story — your experiences, your body, and the context of your life.
Rather than rushing to fix or label, we move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable, building connection, clarity, and trust along the way.
This is care that honors the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
Lifestyle, Nutrition & Root Causes
Exploring sleep, nourishment, and underlying contributors to mental health—including micronutrients and lab-based insights when helpful.
Medication (when aligned)
Integrative psychiatry isn't about being against medication — it's about finding what truly works for you. When medication is the right tool, I'll help you find the most effective regimen with the fewest side effects. And when holistic support can reduce your reliance on it, we'll explore that too.
Somatic Therapy & Nervous System Support
Making sense of your experiences while gently working with your nervous system—helping you feel more resourced, expand your capacity to navigate distress, and reconnect with your body.
Relational & Culturally Attuned Care
Your identity, culture, and lived experience are central— not secondary— to how we understand and support your mental health.
