THERAPEUTIC PRESENCE
A safe space to discuss matters related to daily life
In the context of medication management appointments, your clinician provides a safe and comfortable environment for you discuss your mental health concerns, stressors, and goals in support of a holistic approach to patient care. Various studies illustrate how medication therapy combined with talk therapy yields best outcomes for patients. If you are interested in more frequent and intensive psychotherapy, we can refer you out to a licensed therapist for individual counseling.
A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Mindfulness
Physical Activity
Gut Health
You as the patient may elect to incorporate functional medicine principals into your treatment regimen, such as nutrition modification recommendations, in an attempt to improve gut health, which we know today affects mental and emotional health. Physical activity and mindfulness practices are other areas you may elect to discuss with your mental health clinician.
Your clinician may recommend GeneSight Testing if you have had several prior failed psychotropic medication trials, or if you demonstrate significant sensitivity to psychotropic medications. Ask your clinician about GeneSight testing today to see if it is the right tool for you.
