Holistic Psychiatry Beyond Big Pharma: Faith, Culture & Informed Care with Dr. Tzvi Furer

In this powerful episode, Diana S. Rice, LMHC, CIMHP sits down with Dr. Tzvi Furer, MD, FAPA, DFAACAP, a dual-board-certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist and founder of Palm Tree Psychiatry. Together, they break down myths about psychiatry, explore the importance of deprescribing and informed consent, and discuss how cultural competence and compassion must guide mental-health care. Dr. Furer shares his journey from training at NYU Langone Health / Bellevue Hospital to building a concierge practice that goes beyond the 15-minute “med check.” His approach combines psychotherapy, medication management, medical root-cause testing, and narrative medicine—helping patients feel truly seen, not labeled. Diana and Dr. Furer dive into: The difference between psychiatry, psychology, and therapy What “go low and go slow” prescribing really means Why faith, biology, and psychology belong in the same conversation How to advocate for yourself in a rushed or insurance-limited system The role of storytelling and narrative medicine in healing Root-cause assessment, labs, and integrative collaboration with therapists Practical advice for those who can’t afford concierge care but still need hope If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by medication-only psychiatry or you’re craving a faith-informed, science-based approach to mental health, this episode will challenge your perspective and leave you encouraged.
