Medication Management
& Follow-Up Care

Not necessarily. Our provider always conducts a thorough psychiatric evaluation before making any prescribing decision. Therapy alone or a combined approach may be recommended. Every plan is individualized — medication is never prescribed automatically.

This varies by medication type. Antidepressants typically take 4–8 weeks to reach full effect. Some anxiolytics work more quickly. We schedule follow-up appointments to evaluate your response and adjust your plan accordingly — you're never left waiting alone.

Yes. Our provider can prescribe and manage psychiatric medications via telehealth for patients in Virginia, Washington State, and North Dakota. Electronic prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred pharmacy on the same day as your visit.

Contact us immediately if you experience concerning side effects. We offer support between scheduled appointments, and our provider will adjust your dosage or switch medications as needed. You will never have to manage side effects on your own.

When starting a new medication, we typically schedule follow-ups at 30, 60, and 90 days. Once stable, most patients move to quarterly check-ins. The frequency always adapts to your individual needs and response.

We accept Medicaid, Medicare, Anthem BCBS, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, Optima Health, and Tricare. We recommend verifying your specific mental health and medication management coverage with your insurer before your first appointment. Self-pay is also available.
