Medication Management
As with any illness, it's important to figure out what is really going on beneath the symptoms in order to create the most effective treatment plan possible—but if your therapist works in a different facility than the prescribers who provide pharmaceutical intervention, communicating or creating a dialogue can be challenging.

At Turning Point Counseling and Consulting, we can take care of everything all under one roof. This enables us to collaborate with therapists, parents, children, and the medication prescribers on a case-by-case basis to create a dynamic healing strategy specific to individual needs.
Though counseling addresses thoughts and behaviors, medication management is about finding the right pharmaceutical intervention to counter unhelpful emotions so that therapy can do its work.
In our first session, the individual seeking medication will have the opportunity to discuss their challenges and symptoms, whether it's related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or any other mental health issue. We'll also give them a thorough psychological assessment, exploring the details of their medical history, as well as all other experiences that shape an individual.
Then, we can use the information from our assessment to make recommendations for medication management and to direct you to other resources for additional support. If you decide that medication is the best option, you can meet with your prescriber for continued support weekly, monthly, or whenever you need the guidance—it's completely up to you.
