Psychiatric Medication Management
Find out if medication could help, with a nurse practitioner who works from the same plan as your therapist.
At a glance
What It Is
Our nurse practitioners can help you find out if medication could help. If you decide to try it, they prescribe it and check in with you by video. They work from the same plan as your therapist, so you don’t have to tell your story twice.
Many people do well with therapy alone. For others, the right medication takes the edge off enough that the work of therapy becomes possible.
Nothing starts without your agreement.
What It Can Help With
Many people have more than one of these at once. Your nurse practitioner looks at the whole picture.
Connected to Your Therapy
You don’t have to find a separate prescriber and tell your story all over again. Your nurse practitioner and your therapist work from the same plan, so what you notice in group or in session reaches the person adjusting your medication.

Questions
No. Medication is available if you and your nurse practitioner decide it makes sense. You can also decide to wait, try therapy first, or stop the conversation at any point.
No. You can call us to start with medication management even if you aren’t a client yet. If you’re in therapy with us, or decide to start, your nurse practitioner and therapist work from the same plan.
Yes. Visits are by secure video from anywhere in Texas, and prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy you choose.
Tell your nurse practitioner or your therapist during your sessions. Finding the right medication and dose can take some adjusting, and that is what follow-up visits are for. Please don’t stop a medication on your own without talking to your nurse practitioner first.
Yes. If you keep your current psychiatrist, they continue to manage your medication, and you would not also see one of our nurse practitioners. With a signed release of information on file (a form that gives us your OK to talk with them), we can stay in touch with them about your care.
Medication management is not emergency care. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
