Your questions
answered.

What is the goal of medication management?

The goal is not just to prescribe medication, but to use it as a tool to overcome whatever you are going through. We work with you to find the safest and most effective medication and dosage, ensuring it supports your therapy and overall well-being. We actively monitor for side effects and make adjustments to find the perfect fit for you.

Your first appointment is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. We will discuss your symptoms, personal and family medical history, lifestyle, and any medications you’ve tried in the past. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan and discuss the best options for you.

No. We believe medication and therapy are most effective when used together. Medication can help manage acute symptoms (like severe anxiety or low energy), providing the stability needed to engage more deeply in psychotherapy, which addresses the root causes of your challenges.

This varies for each person. When starting a new medication or making an adjustment, we may see you every 2-4 weeks. Once you are on a stable and effective dose, follow-up appointments are typically less frequent, such as every 1-3 months.

What if my medication doesn't work?

This is a normal part of the process. Finding the right medication can take time, and we will work with you to make adjustments or find a different option.

Will I be on medication forever?

Not necessarily. For some, medication is a long-term tool. For others, it’s a short-term support while they build lasting skills and resilience in therapy.

What about side effects?

We will always discuss potential side effects before you start. A key part of management is monitoring these and adjusting your plan to find the best balance.
