_________
Dr. Kelly Holes-Lewis, MD
Visionary Environmental & Functional Medicine Healer | Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association
Her journey began in the depths of traditional medicine, earning board certifications from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Obesity Medicine, alongside groundbreaking training in Nuclear Medicine and Positron Emission Tomography-CT Imaging. But it was her awakening to environmental medicine—culminating in specialized training from EMEI (Environmental Medical Education Institute)—that revealed her true calling. Her recent Nutritional Psychiatry Certification through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction certification represent her relentless pursuit of healing modalities that honor the body's innate wisdom.
Recognized as Charleston's "Best Psychiatrist," Dr. Holes-Lewis has transcended traditional psychiatric boundaries to become something far more revolutionary: a detective of environmental illness, a translator between the toxic modern world and the human cost of our disconnection from nature. She possesses exceptional expertise in tracing the connections between mold exposure and depression, heavy metal toxicity and anxiety, nutritional depletion and despair, and chronic inflammation and the epidemic of suffering plaguing our society.
What sets Dr. Kelly apart is not just her expertise—it's her uncompromising dedication to healing at the cellular level. She doesn't simply treat symptoms; she addresses the root environmental causes stealing our vitality. Her approach combines rigorous science with compassionate care, recognizing that true healing requires us to reclaim our rightful relationship with the natural world.
Her engaging presence extends beyond the clinic, captivating audiences as a keynote speaker at Charleston's prestigious Gaillard Center alongside singer-songwriter Chase Bryant. Her wisdom draws from deep wells of cultural exploration, spiritual seeking, and an intuitive understanding that healing traditions across the globe have always recognized what modern medicine forgot: we are inseparable from our environment.
At Deeper Healing, Dr. Holes-Lewis creates nothing short of transformation. Through her guidance, patients don't just recover; they awaken to a completely new way of being in the world, one where every choice becomes an act of self-healing, every breath becomes cleaner, every day becomes a step toward the vibrant life they were meant to live.
