Dr. Catrina Luca’s Bio: Originally from Miami, FL, Dr. Catrina N. Luca earned her Bachelor’s of Science at the University of Miami and her Medical Doctorate from the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine. She completed her Adult Psychiatry residency and a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Florida. She is board-certified in both specialties. With a keen interest in an integrative approach to psychiatry, she earned an additional board certification in Integrative Medicine and a certification in Pastoral Counseling. Over the last 15 years, I have had the opportunity to train and work in multiple arenas including Job Corps, forensic settings, community mental health settings, and private practice affording me exposure to a wide range of clinical opportunities and creating a foundation of broad clinical experience. The reason I practice medicine is because I believe in the power of the body to heal itself. As an Integrative Psychiatrist, my role as a physician is not that of a miracle-worker but a facilitator of health, a guide or teacher of sorts. I am acutely aware that in Psychiatry, there are physicians who place too much value on prescribing medications and too little value on empowering people to heal from the inside out. I practice medicine with the focus of empowerment. My role is to help people move out of their own way to allow their body to heal; that healing comes from the inside out. I love to inspire and assist in creating joy-filled, informed, healthy families, one member at a time. We are not designed to do life alone, we are designed for relationship. It is in the context of relationship that healing occurs…mind, body, and spirit.
