Medication Management: Safe, Effective, Personalized Treatment Plans

When medication is appropriate, we focus on prescribing thoughtfully, monitoring carefully, and educating you fully. We consider:

• Biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors
• Your comfort and preferences
• Cultural considerations that may affect treatment

You will receive regular follow-up appointments to assess effectiveness, side effects, and any needed adjustments. Medication is always discussed collaboratively—you’re never just handed a prescription without understanding why.

Every journey toward wellness begins with understanding. Our psychiatric evaluations are comprehensive and person-centered, designed to assess your mental health symptoms, medical history, psychosocial background, and personal goals.

We use structured and unstructured interview techniques along with validated screening tools to ensure accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment planning. Evaluations may include:

• Review of current and past symptoms
• Mental status examination
• Family and social history
• Discussion of treatment options (medications, therapy, lifestyle changes)

You are encouraged to participate actively in your care planning.

While we do not offer intensive psychotherapy at this time, we integrate supportive therapy and psychoeducation into each session to help you better understand and manage your symptoms. 

This includes:

• Stress reduction techniques
• Coping strategies for anxiety and depression
• Building insight into mood patterns
• Sleep hygiene and behavioral interventions
• Encouragement of healthy lifestyle habits

We may also refer to or coordinate care with licensed therapists if you would benefit from ongoing psychotherapy, CBT, or trauma-informed therapy.
