Medication Management

At Healing Connections medication management is provided by two certified nurse practitioners.

Medication Management is the use of medications to help treat mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety and bipolar illnesses. Clients are seen for a one hour initial assessment where current and past symptoms are reviewed. Together a treatment plan is developed for the use of medications. At regular 30 minute follow-up appointments, clients review their response to medications including benefit and possible side effects. With clients’ consent our nurse practitioners work in collaboration with other health care professional in order to optimize the treatment plan.

Often, medication medication management is in conjunction with individual therapy to help the client increase ways of managing the symptoms that are difficult in life.
