Origin Story
In the same manner that mountains are formed by many different elements protruding through the earth’s crust, so too has MTN of Light developed through a variety of influences piercing through the current medical institutional complex and rising above to offer a unique model of treatment. MTN of Light shines providing a high quality mental health alternative to traditional insurance based mental health providers, with a foundation of improving metabolic dysfunction at the level of the mitochondria to treat the underlying cause of mental health disorders, not only temporary symptom relief.
Our private outpatient psychiatric practice is founded on the groundbreaking principles of Brain Energy by Dr. Christopher Palmer, offering a revolutionary approach to mental health care. We understand that mental disorders are deeply connected to brain metabolism, and our treatment philosophy integrates cutting-edge metabolic psychiatry with personalized, holistic care. By addressing the root causes of mental illness—such as nutrition, lifestyle, and metabolic health—we go beyond symptom management to promote true healing and long-term wellness.
Our expert team combines evidence-based psychiatric treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy, with innovative strategies like dietary interventions, targeted supplementation, and metabolic therapies tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Additionally, we are proud to offer a novel and highly specialized rock climbing psychotherapy program, a validated treatment for depression and anxiety. Conducted in both indoor and outdoor settings, this experiential therapy fosters resilience, mindfulness, and physical engagement to enhance mental well-being. If you’re seeking a transformative, science-backed approach to mental health, we invite you to experience a new path to recovery and resilience at our practice.
Mission
At MTN of Light, we are committed to revolutionizing mental health care by addressing the root causes of psychiatric disorders through metabolic psychiatry and holistic healing. We provide an alternative to traditional, symptom-focused treatment models. Our approach integrates cutting-edge metabolic therapies, evidence-based psychotherapy, and innovative experiential treatments—including rock climbing psychotherapy—to equip individuals on their journey toward lasting mental and physical well-being. By optimizing brain metabolism at the mitochondrial level, we aim to restore balance, resilience, and vitality, helping our patients rise above the limitations of conventional care. At this time, we do not provide psychiatric medication management or prescription services for individuals under the age of 18. We encourage families seeking medication specific services for minors to consult with a qualified pediatric or adolescent mental health provider.
Vision
We envision a future where mental health care is transformed—where healing is not just about symptom management but about true, whole-body wellness driven by metabolic and lifestyle interventions. At MTN of Light, we strive to lead this change, offering science-backed, personalized psychiatric care that empowers individuals to reclaim their mental and physical health. Through innovation, education, and compassionate care, we seek to elevate mental wellness, shining a light on a new path to recovery, resilience, and individual potential.
