• Medication is not the only answer for treatment. Research has shown that skills and pills work best together.

• Medication helps skills to work more effectively. If the brain chemistry is imbalanced the brain may not be able to form new pathways and the skills may not be as effective. With the right medication and the right skills, the brain can change.

Because we like to go over some skills with medication management, your appointment will range from 30-60 minutes.

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners are trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) which is an evidence based therapy that focuses on developing skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

In medication management with skills training, our providers work closely with your goals, symptoms, and individual needs to help you learn skills to improve the overall quality of your life.

With skills and pills you can achieve stability, resilience, and an improved overall well-being. It also can optimize your treatment outcomes, enhance your self-management skills, and promote a long-term recovery with your mental health challenges.
