In addition, medication management is a service I provide for those who have been prescribed psychotropic medication for depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and psychotic spectrum disorders.
My clients come from many walks of life but have one thing in common - they would like to improve their overall quality of life. Perhaps the wounds from their past or stressors from their present are adversely impacting their lives. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to improve their current level of functioning. My practice includes working with adults, college students, adolescents, couples, and families. I also co-lead groups with my husband who is also a psychotherapist, and I work with master's level and doctorate interns who are completing their therapy/supervison hours for licensing.

We are never meant to face the challenges of life alone. When facing these overwhelming tidal waves of life, we often times feel sad, painful, and wanting to isolate ourselves. The way we think and our behavior changes and prevents us from becoming the most authentic version of self. I see therapy as a guided journey where the therapist and the client process the client's subjective experience together. And when it is experienced in a safe, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and encouraging environment, client experiences growth in self awareness and level of insight, which prompts genuine, long-lasting changes that are evident.

My clients are people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. They include people who want to identify their issues and address them in new and more constructive ways. Patients who experience feelings of grief, loss, despair, sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, a sense of hopelessness and of being overwhelmed often experience these emotions for different reasons. It is when these issues become too painful it is wise to reach out for help. Therapy can be an opportunity to see what previous and current experiences may be influencing their life patterns and decisions. An outside perspective can be helpful.

Medication Management Therapists

What are the most effective ways to manage medications?

One of the most effective ways a patient can manage their medications is to keep a list of each drug and dosage they take. Such a list can be helpful in keeping to their schedule and can also be something they bring to their psychiatrist or other physician so that the healthcare provider has a clear picture of what they’re taking and in what quantity. Using a pill organizer can be useful for memory and organization. Patients should discuss their medications and their effects at every appointment.

What are the risks if medications are not managed properly?

A suboptimal approach to medication management can lead to potentially harmful health outcomes. Most psychiatric drugs have side effects, and if a patient is not aware of them, they may seek additional medical help or over the counter or prescription drugs to treat the side effects, which may have its own side effects, a process called “prescription cascade.” Another risk to disorganization is that a psychiatrist without full knowledge of a patient’s regimen could prescribe a medication that should not be mixed with a patient’s existing drugs.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to get help managing their medications?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing medication management as a tool for improving their life and avoiding dangerous side effects. Offering specific examples of an individual’s failure to properly manage their medication regimen should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to break management down into parts, and there are several apps that can be used to organize which drugs are ingested, when they need to be refilled, and how they should be stored.

Are there natural treatments that can replace medications?

While there are many medications that can be vital to mental health, there are some natural lifestyle changes that can help reduce the need for drugs. Regular exercise, good sleep habits, a healthy diet, and therapy can all go a long way in symptom relief. Psychiatric medications typically treat symptoms but do not necessarily treat the cause of the condition. Many clinicians consider medications an adjunct to treatment rather than a treatment in and of itself.
