We assist adults living with HIV with their medication management and those currently taking or hoping to take Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV (PrEP/PEP) to prevent infection for those who are at risk for HIV exposure.
We optimize virtual care to strengthen patient engagement, increase access, promote retention in care, and achieve and maintain sobriety. As an AAHIVS, my goal is to empower adults living with HIV to maintain optimal health and productive lives. Our practice encourages all patients to be actively connected and engaged in their preventative and primary care while we serve as a supplemental, adjuvant source aimed at improving health outcomes. We believe the convenience, privacy, and comfort of treating individuals via telemedicine is a welcome addition to the options available to our patient base.

Our lives unfold their beauty, Like the petals of a flower, In challenges from circumstances, We find our finest hour. (C. Alexander Simkins). Generally it is in such circumstances that we find our way to a psychotherapist or a need for medication, not when life is smooth and comfortable. Many years of professional practice blended with my own life experiences have given me empathy and understanding that assist me in my relationships with my clients and in identifying with them what is needed to enhance healing and recovery. I am a nurse practitioner in psychiatry and mental health with a focus on depression, anxiety, life transitions, end of life issues, substance use and medication management. I see both individuals and couples. There are many research studies showing the use of hypnotherapy and mindfulness in easing the symptoms of stress and anxiety and I incorporate both into my practice. www.rickhanson.net. A wonderful resource to increase your knowledge and insights on how to use mindfulness to reduce stress.

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.
