Psychiatry & Medication
Medication services can be provided for individuals age 18+ with our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). At Modern Mental Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate psychiatric services to support your mental health and wellbeing. Our PMHNP plays an important role in delivering high-quality care tailored to your individual needs.
What to Expect
NOTE:
Our PMHNP will be on a short leave and is not accepting new patient appointments until her return, which we anticipate will be sometime in mid-March. You may place yourself on our medication waitlist, but you will not be contacted until she has returned from her leave.
If you require more urgent services, please reach out to Hendricks Therapy in Lafayette or your primary care provider.
Expert Assessment and Diagnosis: Our PMHNP is skilled in conducting thorough assessments to understand your unique challenges, concerns, and goals. Through in-depth interviews and evidence-based assessment tools, they will work with you to establish an accurate diagnosis and create a holistic understanding of your mental health.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment, our PMHNP will collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include therapy techniques, medication options, lifestyle adjustments, and coping strategies tailored to your preferences and needs.
Medication Management: If medication is a part of your treatment plan, our PMHNP will guide you through the process. They will explain the benefits, potential side effects, and address any concerns you may have. Regular follow-up appointments will ensure that your medications are effective, and adjustments can be made if needed.
Collaborative Care: At MMH, we believe in a team-based approach to mental health care. Our PMHNP collaborates closely with other healthcare professionals within our practice, including psychologists, social workers, and counselors. This collaborative effort ensures a comprehensive and holistic approach to your well-being.
Progress Monitoring and Adjustment: Your progress is important to us. Regular follow-up appointments will allow our PMHNP to assess how well the treatment plan is working for you. If adjustments are needed, they will be made with your input and comfort in mind.
Empowerment and Education: We value your active participation in your mental health journey. Our PMHNP will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to better understand your condition, manage symptoms, and make informed decisions about your treatment.
Non-judgmental and Supportive Environment: Our PMHNP is dedicated to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Your comfort and confidentiality are paramount in our approach.
