MEDICATION EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT

MEDICATION EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT

What is Medication Management?


Our board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner provides personalized mental health care for children, teens, and adults. Our provider meets with you for an initial evaluation to collect information on your current and past mental health concerns, as well as other health conditions, life stressors, and factors that may influence how you are feeling in order to develop their diagnostic assessment. Once a diagnosis is made, our provider works with you to formulate which treatment options are right for you. These treatment options may include non-medication approaches. If your provider determines that a prescription medication is necessary to treat your mental health condition, she can prescribe and manage that medication, working in concert with other members of your health care team, such as your therapist, primary care provider, or family members if you provide written consent. You will meet with your medication management provider regularly in order to discuss how the medications are working, how to manage any side effects you may encounter, and how to discontinue the medication when it is no longer needed.
