Therapy + Medication Management
Medication support can be added alongside therapy when clinically appropriate. Care is available for patients age 15+ with virtual medication visits across Maryland and in-person visits in Bethesda.
Good to know
Medication management is currently offered together with therapy through our practice. It is routine outpatient care and is not intended for detoxification, alcohol-treatment programs, psychiatric emergencies, or acute post-hospital stabilization.

Common questions about therapy + medication
What brings people in
Therapy is helping, but symptoms are still getting in the way
Persistent anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, or difficulty functioning can be reasons to explore whether medication could support the work happening in therapy.
Anxiety or depression medication
A psychiatric evaluation can help review symptoms, treatment options, possible benefits and risks, and whether medication belongs in the treatment plan.
ADHD evaluation and medication support
Ongoing problems with attention, organization, follow-through, impulsivity, or routines may warrant an evaluation to clarify what is contributing and whether medication should be considered.
Mood changes that feel bigger than stress
Recurring shifts in mood, sleep, energy, irritability, or behavior can be reviewed from a psychiatric perspective alongside therapy.
Current medication does not feel like enough
Medication management can review response, side effects, adherence, and whether changes should be discussed while therapy continues.
Therapy and medication in one place
Some patients prefer to keep therapy and prescribing connected around the same goals and overall treatment plan.
