OUR SERVICES

Psychiatric Medication Management

The balance of medication and therapy is so important for many of our clients. Our Medication Management team collaborates closely with our clinicians to help clients achieve positive outcomes by taking an integrative approach for each case. Medication Management can benefit clients struggling with mood, anxiety, sleep, inattention, and other mental health difficulties/challenges.

Medication services address the physiological component of many mental illnesses. Research has shown psychotropic medications to be an effective element of treatment for a variety of concerns including many mood and anxiety disorders. Medication plays an important role in the overall treatment of many patients at our practice, oftentimes in conjunction with talk psychotherapy.

For many clients, psychotropic medication can reduce physiological barriers that would otherwise interfere with psychotherapeutic interventions. We offer medication management for children, adolescents, and adults. A referral is not necessary to schedule and most insurances are accepted in-network.

We offer medication management for presenting concerns including but not limited to:

Depression

Anxiety

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Substance Use Disorders

Behavioral Issues in Children
