UnsplashWhen traditional therapies aren’t enough…

If a medical or psychological condition has left you feeling overwhelmed or disabled and you haven’t gotten the relief or support you need from traditional therapies…

Psychopharmacology can be a helpful solution.

Medication can be a valuable tool in our efforts to manage your symptoms.

Finding a course of action that’s right for you…

Your symptoms might have you feeling frustrated, hopeless, or confused.

Medication can reduce the emotional intensity of your struggles, increasing your “psychological bandwidth” and freeing up energy to engage in daily activities with a greater sense of normalcy.

That relief can also help you delve deeper into psychotherapy.

It’s different for everyone and will depend on the medication taken.

Some medications, like ketamine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, can take effect within minutes. Others, like SSRIs and SNRIs, may take several weeks to reach their full effect.

There are also medications that can help you manage symptoms related to cancer, like chronic pain, nausea, weight loss, or fatigue.

Each medication has a specific purpose and risk profile; together, we’ll weigh the options and determine the best treatment for your unique situation.
