Prescribing

Due to stigma, Psychiatric medications are a scary prospect to individuals seeking mental health treatment. To ease concerns, our provider takes a "low & slow" approach to prescribing.

Key elements include:

• Conducting a thorough medical and psychiatric history

• Full collaboration with the patient discussing treatment options

• Education about medications prior to prescribing, allowing the patient to evaluate benefits and side effects

• Starting at low doses and gradually increasing dosage with the goal of acheiving the highest benefit with the lowest side effects
