What to Expect at Thrive

Psychiatric Medication Management involves collaborating with a mental health provider to ensure the safe use of medication to address a diagnosed mental health disorder.

If medications are prescribed, a nurse practitioner will schedule regular appointments to monitor the effectiveness of the medication and potential side effects. You may be referred to Thrive's services for individual or group therapy to ensure a holistic approach to addressing mental health challenges.

Thrive’s Psychiatric Services include:

  • Psychiatric Assessment and Diagnosis
  • Medication Management
  • Thrive also has a nurse care team that offers 1:1 patient education on overall health management provides guidance for scheduling and client support. 

When should I consider medication management?

Psychiatric medication can play a vital role in treating various mental health conditions. If you are considering medication or uncertain if your current medication is effective, we can provide valuable guidance.

While some individuals effectively manage their symptoms through therapy, self-care, and support networks, others require psychiatric medication to enhance functioning and well-being. Our mental health providers can work with you to determine what course is best for you.
