THERAPEUTIC PRESENCE
A safe space to discuss matters related to daily life
​
In the context of medication management appointments, your clinician provides a safe and comfortable environment for you discuss your mental health concerns, stressors, and goals in support of a holistic approach to patient care. Various studies illustrate how medication therapy combined with talk therapy yields best outcomes for patients. If you are interested in more frequent and intensive psychotherapy, we can refer you out to a licensed therapist for individual counseling.
