What is Collaborative Care Clinic?
We are a team of Clinical Herbalist Graduates of ACORN, with the experience of established private practice. Our Clinicians work with herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle factors using Vitalist therapeutics. You can learn more about Vitalism here. We provide telehealth services through the ACORN Clinic. This online clinic platform allows you to select your practitioner, preferred appointment time, and receive our services when you need it.
Our Senior faculty, Heather Luna, oversees client casework and provides team member support. Heather is the Founder and Director of the ACORN School of Herbal Medicine. She is a Clinical Herbalist and Clinical Nutritionist with over 25 years of experience as a teacher and vitalist practitioner.
About your consultation
Your consultation is part of our “Professional Network of Care.” Each client case that comes to our clinic is peer-reviewed by the Clinic Team for collaborative feedback, accountability, and safety of our methods. While you will work directly with the practitioner of your choice, your clinician will report your case to the clinic team for collaborative case review. We work together to unravel potential root causes and devise appropriate treatment plans. Collaborative care health services improve patient outcomes, enhance quality of services, providing better treatment of chronic conditions, and lead to greater client satisfaction. This collaborative and comprehensive process of review and evaluation, provides you with the best health plan possible. Your health history and medical information will be discussed anonymously to preserve client confidentiality.
"In the practice of herbalism, we seek to treat the whole person, not the disease. In doing so, herbalists employ healing methods intended to increase vitality and support the natural forces within us to restore balance on all levels."
~Heather Luna

Getting Started
Initial Intake + Follow-up Bundle
Your initial appointment with us consists of two sessions. The first session is an extensive intake for us to get your whole health story. The second session is where we provide you with a detailed outline of health plan options. When you book with us your first follow up is included with the purchase of consultation. During the intake session your clinician will discuss scheduling for the follow up session with you.
1st Appointment (Initial Intake)
Duration: 2-3 hours
Your first telehealth session with us is designed to be a thorough and detailed intake of your health concerns and comprehensive interview to obtain your health history. This process allows us to get to the root of your health concerns and account for the individual uniqueness of your case.
2nd Appointment (Follow-up)
Duration: 1 hour
After the Initial Intake appointment, your clinician will research your case and perform an extensive analysis to reveal patterns and root causes that may be related to your health concerns. This information will then be reviewed by peers and faculty for feedback. Your clinician will present these findings to you during the Follow-up appointment. You and your clinician will then be able to discuss detailed treatment options to address your health concerns.
Costs
Initial Intake + Follow-up Bundle

When you book the Initial Intake appointment you will be purchasing both the Intake and the 1st Follow-up appointment. You will schedule the date of your 2nd appointment with your clinician at the end of the Initial Intake.
