Psychopharmacology

While there are many strategies to address depression, if depression is not responding to therapy or for more complicated depression I may refer to a physician or psychiatrist to consider prescribing medication. Most antidepressant medication can be managed by your primary medical doctor but for more complex/severe depression or bipolar depression I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist in addition to being in therapy.

I am not able to prescribe medication but am well trained to identify if your depression meets the level where it warrants consideration of medication. I come from a background of working in an integrated health setting and believe strongly in working collaboratively with other professionals to make sure you are getting the best treatment you can get
