Medication and therapy can be a valuable combination of treatment modalities to help you feel your best. At Connections Counseling and Consulting, Licensed Professional Counselor Carol Dickinson is here to provide you with the personalized, client-led support you need to live the way you want. We have partnered with Beautiful Mind AZ, another business in the same location, to provide both therapy and medication management services.
Here, we'll take a look at what you need to know about medication management, as well as how medication management and therapy can work together to bolster your well-being.
What is Medication Management?
Medication management is an important aspect of mental health care in which a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner or other mental health professional works with clients to monitor mental health symptoms and side effects of medication to evaluate their efficacy. For some mental health conditions—like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder—the right medication can be life-changing.
Therapy and Medication Management: A Winning Combination
Medication management isn't just about tracking the side effects of your medications. Your medication management provider will also work with you to determine the steps you can take to maximize the positive effects of your medication, providing individualized care. You can contact Beautiful Mind AZ to schedule an appointment for medication management and psychiatric evaluations. Contact our partners at Beautiful Mind AZ for psychiatric services, including medication management, at 623-248-1682.
Working with a counselor like Carol can provide you with the emotional insights, communication skills, and non-medicative treatments such as EMDR that you need to cope with your mental health challenges and trauma effectively. Keeping up with regular therapy appointments is key to making the most of your medication. It can help to ensure that your brain chemistry is getting the medication it needs to function at an optimal level.
