Medication Management

Medication management is a form of therapy to make sure patients are receiving the proper medication for their needs. Effective medication management includes reviewing medications, ongoing monitoring, short and long-term plans and education. We are also able to offer pharmacogenetic as a treatment option. The GeneSight Psychotropic test can be a useful tool to understand how each patient may respond to different medications based on their individual DNA. Psychotherapy and medication management can be useful in treating several mental health disorders, including anxiety, mood disorders, addictions and eating disorders. You will meet with one of our two board-certified PMHNP providers to go over concerns. Once this happens, an individualized treatment plan will be created. This may include medication management, psychotherapy or a combination of both.
