If you are prescribed psychiatric medication, you will meet with our psychiatric nurse practitioner, Ms. Isoke, regularly to discuss the effectiveness of the medications prescribed and any side effects you may be experiencing. The frequency and duration of follow up medication management appointments will vary depending on a variety of factors that Ms. Isoke will discuss with you during your initial session. You may meet with Ms. Isoke for medication management appointments on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly basis for anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes.
Psychiatric medications are generally most effective when used in conjunction with psychotherapy and we will typically require that you are engaged in psychotherapy with a practitioner in our office or in another practice to receive medication management services with us.
