What is Medication Management?

Medication management refers to the personalized and science-backed approach of using medications to support and improve mental health. Your provider will evaluate your needs and desires, thoughtfully prescribe medication to assist in your progress, and monitor and adjust your medications as needed to ensure they work effectively and safely. 

What is the Importance of Medication Management?

Effective and trustworthy medication management can be a vital part of treatment for many individuals. Working with a dedicated medication management provider can help ensure that medications are used appropriately and safely, reducing the risk of side effects and enhancing overall well-being. By closely monitoring your response to medications, we can make informed adjustments that support your journey toward improved mental health. Many of our patients will seek out medication management and therapy together, to even further enhance their treatment experience. Medication management can often be a helpful temporary step to help the implementation of skills and strategies learned in therapy feel more achievable. Other patients may look towards medication as a longer term solution to assist in providing what their bodies and minds need to function at their best.
