Medication Management

In addition to holistic practice I do incorporate prescription medications, including stimulants for ADHD, and SSRIs for anxiety and/or depression when needed after the initial evaluation and diagnosis consult. Some families may prefer to try natural supplements and/or therapy first, while others are ready for a medication trial. We can discuss your child's options and utilize the shared decision making process for what is best for you and your child's needs. My goal is to find the lowest therapeutic dose of the right medication, with the least amount of side effects for all patients. The ultimate goal for the majority of patients is to gain expanded coping skills through alternative therapies so your child will be able to stop prescription medications when the timing is right.
