While Hygeia Foundation does business as (d/b/a) True North, it is registered with the IRS as Hygeia Foundation. Hygeia is the name of the Greek goddess of health and healing - our focus on health and healing made this name an appropriate match for our Foundation.
Dr. de Sieyes believes that a caring doctor-patient relationship is key to promoting preventive health and well-being. He is committed to dedicating adequate time in his appointment schedule to foster mutual trust and understanding, and recognizes the uniqueness of each patient's needs. He also believes that his affiliation with True North will complement his own traditional approach to healing.

Dr. Simmons was initially excited with the powerful tools he learned in his psychiatric training for helping people to advance their developmental potential. This excitement waned over the years as he saw how often psychopharmacology and conventional psychotherapy fell short of their promise in chronic disorders. This led to his collaboration with complementary health practitioners and eventually to an exploration of ways to intervene directly with nutrition, lifestyle, energetic healing techniques, and Functional Medicine. As a holistic psychiatrist, Dr. Simmons looks to nutrition, lifestyle modification and various healing techniques to affect the greatest outcome for the patient.
In working with patients over the years, Dr. Simmons has come to believe that love in its many forms and/or coping with the absence of love, constitutes the fulcrum upon which suffering and healing turn. As a holistic psychiatrist, he believes that love in the form of listening with full presence, whether as a friend or family member or healing practitioner, also includes listening to the body as a teacher. His services include Holistic Psychiatry, Functional Medicine, Psychopharmacology, Psychotherapy, Thought-Field Therapy/ Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tappas Accupressure Technique.
In addition to his work at True North and his private practice, Dr. Simmons has managed treatment units in private and public psychiatric hospitals, consulted in residential treatment centers and served in community mental health centers for over 15 years.
