MY HOLISTIC APPROACH AND SERVICES
Psychopharmacology (Medication-management)
I am a psychiatrist (physician – MD) and I am licensed to prescribe medication. I will offer prescription medication when I feel someone’s mind is in too great a state of distress and cannot comfortably push through with means other than medication. I tend to use the lowest amount of medication necessary for the shortest amount of time, when possible.
I do not offer medication management for patients who already have a therapist or who are planning on getting a separate therapist. This is sometimes referred to as “split treatment.” My core philosophy is that symptoms and diagnoses should be treated together with an integrated approach and not be treated with medication only.
