Medication Management
We work with you to provide the best medication regimen to assist with becoming a healthier and happier you. Discussion of symptoms, history, lifestyle, and other concerns can help direct the care and best medication options for each patient. Every person is different; often going through years of treatment incorrectly diagnosed. We will utilize evidence-based practice, such as treatment algorithms, to create an individual plan to meet your unique needs. Treatment algorithms are studied and proven step-by-step medication management strategies for specific disorders.
Therapy
We strive to offer the most impactful treatment plan. We offer therapy as part of our follow up medication management services, which is focused in supportive and motivational therapy. We can assist with coping mechanisms and cognitive tools to help manage irrational fears, obsessive worries, anxiety and depression among many other symptoms that are causing you concern. By offering collaboration with your personal therapist or assisting you in finding and establishing care with a therapist in the community, patients have continuity of care and better outcomes.
Genetic Testing
offered via Genomind or GeneSight
By utilizing these tools, we can decrease the amount of time it takes for patients to have improvement of symptoms from the start of care by avoiding medications that you may not metabolize well. These tests also determine if you have a genetic mutation (MTHFR Gene Mutation) that would benefit from supplements to help improve serotonin production.
Initial Consultation
The initial consultation with our providers is typically the longest and most thorough visit as we dive deep into medical history, medication history, social history that is pertinent to your mental health journey, and review of records from your previous provider, if applicable. You will be able to discuss with the PMHNP your concerns and the symptoms that you are experiencing that encouraged you to seek the help of our office.
During this appointment you may be presented with questionnaires that will help the provider get a better understanding to begin to diagnose the symptoms that you are presenting with. By getting this information, we can better treat each patient. We strive to obtain all the needed history and information within the scheduled 1 hour visit but due to complexity there may be times that the initial visit will need to be split into 2 separate visits. This will vary on a case-by-case basis
