Medication Management Services (ages 17 and up)
Utilizing psychotropic medications for the management of symptoms is discussed during the initial visit with one of our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners. Blue Skies Psychological Services supports each individual’s personal decision to utilize medications, or to address their issues strictly by attending therapy sessions without using medicine.
Our medication philosophy is that medication is an effective tool in one’s treatment, but should not be considered a complete solution or “a quick fix” to one’s problems in life. We encourage people who opt to use medication to do so in conjunction with behavioral psychotherapy. Most people who seek treatment for mental or emotional health symptoms require combined treatment to facilitate the change(s) necessary for an improvement in quality of life.
Blue Skies Psychological Services offers medication management services through a secure Telehealth platform. If you have a history of serious and persistent mental illness, and/or prescribed multiple psychotropic medications then a more intensive and in-person treatment environment is recommended.
If you are currently being prescribed these medications the Nurse Practitioner’s goal would be to discuss medication alternatives and wean you off these medications.
