During her residency, Dr. Lamb treated high-risk patients whose diagnoses included Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar disorder, and other serious mental health conditions.  Although her counseling background allowed for great healing, Dr. Lamb continuously identified a link between mental and physical well-being, and recognized the need for physical interventions in order to achieve complete wellness.
