About Medication Management

Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners/Psychiatrists provide psychiatric evaluations or consultations for a variety of emotional and behavioral concerns. Following a comprehensive assessment the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner /Psychiatrist will discuss treatment options, including recommendations for therapy (individual, family, group, or in-home) and medications. Treatment recommendations are based on the severity of symptoms and safety concerns at the psychiatric evaluation.
