Driftless Integrative Psychiatry

I cannot recommend Dr. Burger highly enough. I struggled with autoimmune issues and mental health issues, and thankfully found integrative medicine a couple of years ago. I saw a provider at the Penny George Institute in the Twin Cities who highly recommended that I see an integrative psychiatrist. My former conventional psychiatrist (who I also loved but focused more on prescription meds and less on extensive testing and nutrition) highly recommended Dr Burger and I can see why. My intake with Dr Burger was over 2 hours, she went very in depth and listened carefully. She wisely recommended that we test my cortisol, which no other doctor had ever suggested. Sure enough, my cortisol was high. Dr Burger is working with me with both medications and lifestyle interventions to address this and it’s making a huge difference. Her office assistant Marla is also extremely kind and knowledgeable. I’ve been highly recommending Dr Burger to my family and friends. If conventional medicine is like “fast medicine” like fast food, Dr Burger’s integrative practice is like “slow medicine,” or the slow food/farm to table movement. Thank you Dr Burger!

Dr. Burger helped me through some incredibly challenging moments in life by teaching me real skills I could easily apply as I navigated death, grief, anxiety, and high stress times. The skills she shared continue to help me in my daily life, and I'm grateful for that knowledge. Her holistic approach also helped me improve my diet and adjust my supplements to what I truly needed; the difference is greatly noticeable. If you're thinking of reaching out for help, do it immediately and do it for yourself. The money and time are well worth it for a better life as a whole!

As a busy professional, I believed I did not have the time nor the need to prioritize my mental health. However, there are times when stress and life changing events occur in our lives that compel us to seek professional help to move forward. I am very grateful and extremely pleased with the personal kindness and care that Dr Burger provided - She is simply awesome. She listens with empathy and cares for you as a person, not just as a patient. She offers more options than just the conventional treatment approach and ask you your level of comfort with different healing strategies. My personal results with ketamine assisted therapy have been truly life changing and I have recommended Dr. Burger to my close friends and family. Thank you Dr Burger for being at the forefront of a better, more comprehensive, and holistic approach to mental health and overall well-being.

I highly recommend Dr. Erica Burger. As a clinician myself, I felt very safe and well-held working with Dr. Burger and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. She is a skillful, holistic clinician who meets you were you are and creates a healing set and setting for your personal work and growth. I would/will send family members and other patients to her. Thank you very much, Erica. Beautiful work and pioneer of holistic mental health!

Dr. Erica Burger of Driftless Integrative Psychiatry offers personalized and accessible psychiatric care for my direct-pay patients that is unparalleled in traditional insurance-based systems. As a family physician in Wisconsin, it is challenging to connect my patients to physician-led mental health services when they need it most. It usually takes months to be seen by Psychiatry, and the insurance system is typically volume driven, rushed, and less capable of having the time to truly assess patients from a holistic approach because of this. Dr. Burger is warm, welcoming, has extensive training in Psychiatry. She takes the time to know all aspects of each person such that she is able to develop therapeutic plans that combine approaches of lifestyle, behavioral, complementary and traditional medicine treatments. She is a fantastic resource for patients looking to invest in themselves, guiding a path of "wholeness" and personal success. Mental health support as it should be!

In the fields of integrative psychiatry and ketamine assisted psychotherapy, Dr. Erica Burger emerges as a trusted colleague and excellent provider of these modalities. She is extremely knowledgeable in the use of ketamine as a therapeutic agent to the point where other psychiatrists, including myself, have sought her guidance when implementing ketamine therapy into their practices. Most importantly she is a kind and compassionate person who understands the delicate nature of this work. You will be in good hands with Dr. Burger.

After 20 years of continually managing my depression and anxiety with several psychiatrists and therapists, I am floored by the results of ketamine assisted therapy with Dr. Burger. Dr. Burger is approachable, knowledgeable and caring. My initial skepticism quickly gave way when my wife, close friends and I all noticed positive shifts in how I live. Dr. Burger gained my trust by helping me productively navigate and resolve challenging and uncomfortable experiences that arose during ketamine therapy. Ketamine therapy with Dr. Burger is a powerful treatment that improved my life.

Provides direction and guidance in addition to being a good listener. Good options for treatments.
