Dr. Rogers, the owner of SMEG named her company with the first initials of her children and grandchild. She recently partnered with her son, Ethan Cook (the “E” of SMEG) to form a company that offers a fresh approach to mental health care.

Dr. Rogers and Mr. Cook decided "True North" better represented the fundamentals of our company. A person’s sense of self is grounded by their True North. A person's True North is their fixed point in a spinning world. That fixed point is a person’s most healthy self. It is a person's integrity, core values, uniqueness, knowledge, spirit; it's their core well-being. When a person is engulfed by a mental disorder, they often think, feel and believe the “disorder” has taken over the things that make them who they are.

Dr. Rogers and Mr. Cook believe people have all they need within them to make themselves healthier. It is our goal to help people rediscover their True North. We do that using a holistic, person-centered, and state of the science approach to mental health care. We help them understand they are not their disorder and that the symptoms of the disorder can be managed if not mitigated.

Our Approach

The practitioners at True North Integrative Mental Health practice functional medicine to achieve optimal mental health outcomes for our patients. Functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach to solving mental health challenges. Information is gathered and interpreted by the provider, who then collaborates with the patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses both the underlying causes and current symptoms of psychiatric conditions.

If traditional allopathic approaches (medication and therapy) do not alleviate symptoms, then the underlying causes of mental health symptoms are examined. Functional medicine requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors.

Your provider may prescribe medications but there is a strong focus on adjunct treatments such as supplementing vitamins and minerals, optimizing an individual's diet and encouraging the patient to make lifestyle changes as indicated by data collected. The information gathered is used to create a personalized treatment plan that most typically leads to improved mental health.
