Frequently Asked Questions

​

How do I know if I need psychiatric medications?
If you have a family history of depression, trauma or other psychiatric problems medication may be helpful.
Additionally, if you feel like you are "stuck" in therapy and don't have the energy or clarity to follow through medication might be excellent complement to the work you are doing with your therapist.  The combination of medication and therapy usually has the best outcome.  


If I take medication, will I always have to take it?  
People experience mental health issues on a very unique and individual basis.  We will work together to determine if your need for medication is short term or longer term with your quality of life at the forefront.


Do you take insurance?  
I do not accept insurance.  I will assist you in filing for my services as an out of network provider.
