MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

 

Mental health medications can significantly improve symptoms and help promote recovery. I take a conservative stance in prescribing medications, opting for the lowest effective dose necessary to provide relief from symptoms. Appointments for medication management are used to monitor your response and are scheduled for either 30 minutes or 45 minutes. After starting a new medication, or during times of dose adjustment, we may meet more frequently (every 1 to 3 weeks). Once stable or in remission, follow-up appointments will occur at a minimum of every 12 weeks.  If you already have a therapist that you love, that is fantastic!  I am happy to provide medication management that complements your therapeutic work.

 

TALK THERAPY (aka psychotherapy, therapy…)

 

Should you find yourself looking for more than “just” medication I would love to accompany you on that journey.  These appointments are scheduled for 45 minutes. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and multimodal, drawing upon the theory and techniques of but not limited to: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive and/or Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/MCBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Interpersonal Therapy (ITP), Motivational Interviewing, and the Tidal Model of Mental Health (look it up, it’s pretty cool).

 

CONSULTATION

 

If you are a professional looking to refer a client, please call or fax a completed referral form and also direct your client to request an appointment. If you are a professional seeking a second opinion or collaboration with regard to a difficult case, diagnosis, or medication management plan, please call to schedule a time for a phone or in-person consult.

Such consults cannot be billed to insurance and will be invoiced according to the fee schedule on the Insurance page of this site.
