Medication management
Psychiatric medication care from our on-staff psychiatric nurse practitioner, coordinated with your therapist so your treatment works as one plan.
What medication management includes
Our board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) evaluates your symptoms and history, discusses whether medication could help, prescribes when appropriate, and monitors how it’s working and any side effects over time.
Coordinated with your therapy
Many people get the most benefit from medication and therapy together. Because your prescriber works in the same practice as your therapist, they can share observations and adjust your plan together, with your permission. You don’t have to relay messages between offices.
