Medication Management at Kinsler Psychology
At Kinsler Psychology, we believe in an approach to mental health care that considers the full picture of your emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Medication can be a helpful component of that care for many individuals, especially when combined with talk therapy and lifestyle changes.
What is medication management?
Medication management is the process of evaluating, prescribing, and monitoring psychotropic medications [medications that influence mood, thoughts, or behavior] as part of a treatment plan. These may include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, mood stabilizers, or other psychiatric medications.
Our licensed providers work closely with you to determine whether medication could benefit your mental health goals, and to help you understand how medication fits within your broader treatment plan.
​
“While medication can provide symptom relief, it does not necessarily address underlying maladaptive behaviors, and is therefore considered by many clinicians an adjunct to treatment, rather than the primary mode of treatment itself.”
— Psychology Today
When is medication appropriate?
Psychotropic medication may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
-
Persistent depression or anxiety
