START HEALING.
Whole-person mental health care for Arizona residents from the author of Set On Edge & Optimize Your Body, Heal Your Mind. Guiding you toward resilience, peace, and lasting stability.
Hi, there!
I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve been carrying more than most people realize. Maybe it’s the weight of anxiety that won’t let up, a low mood that makes even simple things feel heavy, or the exhaustion of always trying to “hold it all together.”
I want you to know something important: you’re not broken, and this doesn’t have to be your forever.
In our work together, we’ll look at the whole picture of you—your thought patterns, stress history, emotional wellbeing, relationships, and even how your body and brain are connected. Because mental health is never “just in your head.” It’s influenced by your environment, your experiences, and even your biology.
And here’s something most people aren’t told: there are key areas of physical health that can quietly influence mental health, but that are rarely ever checked by most mental health providers and doctors in general. Things like blood sugar swings, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid or hormone imbalances, gut health, and inflammation can all play a huge role in how you think, feel, and show up each day. Uncovering and addressing these deeper contributors will be a big part of our work together, because your mental health deserves a whole-person approach.
My approach addresses the deeper reasons behind how you feel. Instead of band-aid solutions, I use a compassionate, root-cause process that includes personalized strategies such as nutrition support for brain health, lifestyle shifts, physical health optimization, and evidence-based tools to help you build resilience. But let me be real with you for a moment…
Day after day, what you’re struggling with has likely been stealing from you. It may have taken your focus, your peace, your joy, or your ability to show up fully in the moments that matter most. And I know you’re tired of it. You deserve more than survival mode.
You deserve mental clarity, hope, and the freedom to live your life with intention, not weighed down by the constant drain of anxiety, depression, burnout, or other symptoms.
I’ve watched so many of my patients rediscover their spark, feeling more grounded, more motivated, and more at peace within themselves. And while everyone’s journey looks different, I believe deeply that healing is possible for you, too.
So as you keep reading, know this: taking the next step is a means of investing in your mind, your future, and the thriving life that you were created to live.

What My PATIENTS Are Saying
I work in the field of traditional medicine, but over the years there has been much change in the relationship between providers and their patients. The overwhelming philosophy has been to treat disease and not so much to prevent disease. Personally, I have struggled with anxiety and sleep related problems most of my adult life and while I have been on pharmaceutical drugs for those issues, they were still not fully controlled. What I came to realize was missing, was the link between traditional medicine and integrative medicine and I found that with Dr. Louis. By integrating her holistic approach into my care, I am now essentially free from daily anxiety and my sleep has improved dramatically. Her breadth of knowledge is impressive; not only of more natural options, but also regarding traditional pharmaceuticals and how they impact the body. And she is great at sitting and really listening to what her patients have to say. Within three visits and with a couple of very affordable genetic tests she recommended, we came up with a plan that included some dietary changes and supplementation. I am feeling better than I have in years! I am also a nursing student, so, I have a personal interest in IM but I would not have been able to afford to see Dr. Louis without her and Jeff offering the CSI Program. The Community Service Initiative program allowed me to be able to take advantage of their services and is very telling of how they run their practice. Very professional, all my records are easily accessible and re-ordering anything I need is all streamlined into their computer programming. I have nothing but the highest regard for Dr. Janelle and Jeff Louis and their practice and I have already recommended them to friends who have been frustrated with ongoing problems that traditional medicine has not been able to manage. Thank you to Focus IH for all your help and continued success as you continue to grow your practice.
Several months ago I began receiving help from Focus. It has been a true blessing to me. My regular medical provider had missed a very important medical issue and because of Focus and their dedication to listening and searching for root causes they were able to help me obtain a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. I have been suffering from Hoshimoto disease and was unaware. I am extremely thankful that I am now feeling much better because of the nutritional and herbal information that has been provided to me. I had been sick for a couple years and was at the point of not even being able to spend time doing any of the things I used to do. Happiness and laughter had been gone for a long time. But recently after making the changes recommended I have increased energy. I am not as depressed and I am able to wake up early and have my devotions again. I now have the desire to excercise and make better health choices.and I am laughing again and smiling. I highly recommend Focus because they desire to truly help and not just rush and prescribe pills. They really made me feel they cared.
I can’t say enough about this practice. Dr. Louis identified a long term condition that enabled me to get off an RX that I had been on for years! I was VERY hesitant; I probably spoke to Jeff (the office manager) at least 3 different times for a total of 75 minutes before I pulled the trigger … peppering him with questions about the different plans, what if it doesn’t work, sharing that I felt like I had tried everything with no results … he was confident they could help, and he was right. Bottom line: best time and money I’ve ever spent. Save yourself the research, skepticism, etc – and just get in there… *This photo is a representation.

About Me
I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was six years old. I was born and partially raised in Trinidad (in the Caribbean), and around that time, children were dying due to heart conditions that weren’t being detected or treated. At the time, there weren’t many specialists on the island. I wanted to become a pediatric cardiologist so that I could help these children to live longer, more fulfilling lives.
I went to college early and graduated with my Bachelors degree shortly after my nineteenth birthday. Around that time, my mother was experiencing problems due to anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Seeing the unwanted side effects and other problems she experienced both while taking and while trying to reduce her medication led me to reconsider my career path. That was when I came across naturopathic medicine and began to see that, while pharmaceutical medication has its place, there are many other less invasive therapies and lifestyle changes that can and should be implemented before resorting to medication. This experience also led to me later furthering my training in psychiatry, so that I could better help people who are trying to navigate the complicated mental health system, just like my mom was many years ago, while also minimizing their use of psychiatric medication.
As a wife, a healthcare professional, and a mother to two wonderful sons, I understand what it’s like to be busy or to feel that you simply don’t have the time to make healthier choices. My passion is to make transitioning towards a healthier lifestyle easier and more convenient for individuals and families so that they can live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
As your doctor, my priority is to uncover and address the underlying cause of your condition(s); help you to understand what’s taking place in your body and the science behind our therapies so that you are in a position to make better and more educated choices; help you regain and/or maintain physical health and mental/emotional wellbeing using the least invasive, most convenient, and most effective integrative therapies; and help you feel well, happy, and hopeful again.
