A Balanced Approach to Medication
When medication is appropriate, we approach prescribing thoughtfully—considering it one tool among many in your healing toolkit.
Our Philosophy
We believe in:
- Informed Consent — Clear discussion of benefits, risks, and alternatives
- Minimal Effective Doses — Using the lowest dose that achieves therapeutic benefit
- Regular Reassessment — Ongoing evaluation of whether medication remains necessary
- Integration — Combining medication with therapy, lifestyle changes, and other modalities
Comprehensive Evaluation
Before prescribing, we conduct thorough assessments including:
- Detailed psychiatric history
- Medical history review
- Functional medicine labs when indicated
- Genetic testing for medication response (pharmacogenomics)
Medication Options
Our psychiatrists are experienced with:
- Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, atypicals)
- Mood stabilizers
- Anti-anxiety medications
- ADHD medications
- Sleep aids
- Novel and emerging treatments
Tapering Support
If you’re interested in reducing or discontinuing psychiatric medications, we provide careful, medically supervised tapering protocols while building up alternative supports.
