Medication Management
At Whole Heart Mental Health & Wellness, our psychiatrists provide consultation-based care.
With a physician referral, children, teens, and adults are seen for a one-time psychiatric consultation, which includes diagnostic clarification and detailed medication recommendations. These recommendations are sent back to the referring physician, who remains responsible for prescribing and ongoing management.
If clinically indicated, a repeat psychiatric consultation can be arranged. Referrals remain valid for up to two years. To book a repeat consultation, the patient can email intake@wholeheartmentalhealth.com to request.
Ongoing medication management is available through select providers within our clinic:
- Dr. Deborah Lipszyc provides ADHD-focused assessment and medication management for children aged 13 and under (referral required).
- Our nurse practitioners offer private medication management services for children, teens, and adults, including initiation, monitoring, and adjustment of treatment.
Our approach is collaborative and ensures continuity of care between our team and your primary provider.
