We specialize in diagnosis and treatment of mental health symptoms through the use of medications. Our approach is to begin with a comprehensive evaluation, in order to develop an individualized treatment plan for your needs. 

 

Medication management is an important component of mental health treatment. Although it is not always necessary, when used as a tool, medication can help relieve symptoms of mental health conditions, improve overall functioning, enhance the effectiveness of psychotherapy, and serve to correct chemical imbalances in the brain. 

 

Many people find starting or changing medications to be a personal and difficult decision. Your doctor will spend time on education around medication usage, as well as engage in a thorough discussion of medication options, benefits, risks, and alternatives before any decisions are made. They also will collaborate with primary care providers, therapists, and other mental health professionals, and may require vitals, physical examinations, and/or requests for laboratory examinations.
