What Medication Management Includes
Medication management goes beyond writing a prescription. Our approach includes:
- A full review of your diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment history before starting or adjusting medication
- Careful selection of medication based on your specific symptoms, other health conditions, and any medications you already take
- Ongoing monitoring for effectiveness and side effects at each follow up visit
- Dose adjustments and medication changes as needed, based on how you respond
- Coordination with your therapist or primary care provider, with your consent
- Screening for interactions when you are prescribed medication by another provider
What to Expect
After your initial evaluation, we start or adjust medication based on your diagnosis, history, and treatment goals. Follow up visits are scheduled at intervals that fit your situation, often more frequent early in treatment while we monitor your response, then spaced further apart once your symptoms stabilize.
At each visit, we ask how you are feeling, review any side effects, and discuss whether your current medication and dose are still the right fit. Medication management is an ongoing conversation, not a one time decision, and we adjust your plan as your needs change.
Why Consistency Matters
Medication management works best with a provider who has direct knowledge of your history and how you have responded to past treatment. We prioritize continuity of care, so you work with a consistent psychiatric provider throughout your treatment, rather than explaining your history over again to someone new at every visit.
Medication Management for Common Conditions
We provide medication management for a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including:
- Depression and treatment resistant depression
- Anxiety disorders
- ADHD, in adolescents and adults
- Bipolar disorder
- PTSD
- Co occurring conditions, where more than one diagnosis affects treatment choices

FAQ's
How often will I need follow up appointments?
This depends on your medication, symptoms, and how recently treatment started. We set a follow up schedule together and adjust it based on how you are doing.
Can you manage medication I was already prescribed elsewhere?
Yes. Bring your current medication list and, if available, prior records, so we can review your history and continue or adjust your treatment as appropriate.
Will I need lab work as part of medication management?
Some medications require baseline or ongoing lab monitoring. We let you know if this applies to your specific treatment plan.
What if a medication is not working for me?
Tell us. Adjusting dose or changing medication based on your response is a normal, expected part of medication management, not a sign that something went wrong.
How long does it take to find the right medication?
This varies by individual and by condition. Some patients respond well to the first medication tried, while others need one or more adjustments before finding the right fit. We stay closely involved throughout that process.
