What Is Medication Management?

Medication management is a collaborative process that involves:

  • Evaluating the need for psychiatric medications
  • Prescribing appropriate medications
  • Monitoring their effects
  • Adjusting dosages or types as needed
  • Addressing side effects or concerns
  • Coordinating care with therapists, physicians, and family (when appropriate)

This approach ensures that medication is used effectively as part of a larger treatment plan, which may include therapy, lifestyle changes, and other supports.

Medication Management for Children and Adolescents

Children and teens require a sensitive and individualized approach to psychiatric medication.

Our providers work closely with parents/guardians and other healthcare professionals to:

  • Accurately diagnose mental health conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more
  • Discuss treatment options thoroughly with families
  • Monitor growth, development, and behavioral changes
  • Regularly assess the effectiveness and safety of medications

Parental involvement and informed decision-making are key components of our process.

  • Depression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Bipolar disorder
  • PTSD
  • Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
  • ADHD in adulthood

Our licensed prescribers work to ensure that medication is integrated into a holistic treatment plan. We assess lifestyle, co-occurring conditions, and patient preferences to make informed decisions.

We provide medication management services for children, adolescents, and adults — spanning a wide range of mood, anxiety, attention, and other psychiatric conditions. Our team assesses each individual and tailors treatment plans to age, diagnosis, and unique needs.

Our providers evaluate symptoms, clinical history, medical background, lifestyle, and treatment goals. They also consider age-appropriate evidence, risks vs. benefits, and monitor closely for response and side-effects.

The first visit typically involves a comprehensive assessment including medical and psychiatric history, current symptoms, family and developmental history (if applicable), and discussion of treatment options. A personalized plan is then developed with you.

Medication response varies by age, diagnosis, and medication type. Many medications begin to show benefit within 2-6 weeks, though full effect may take longer. Close follow-up and dosage adjustment help optimize treatment.

Absolutely. Medication management is most effective when integrated with psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, and other supports. We coordinate care to ensure a holistic approach.

Initial follow-ups may occur every 2-4 weeks until the medication and dose are stabilized. Once stable, visits may extend to every 1-3 months depending on age and condition.

Decisions to reduce or stop medication are made collaboratively and cautiously. If symptoms are improved and stable, tapering may be discussed — always under provider supervision to avoid rebound or relapse.
