In concurrence with psychotherapy, medication may be a short-term or long-term treatment option, depending on severity of symptoms, other medical conditions, and individual circumstances.
When you start working with me, I will do an assessment to understand the severity of the anxiety symptoms and the impact on your life. Based on the assessment and initial progress of therapy, we can discuss if medication would be beneficial to consider to maximize your progress. You will then be referred to a psychiatrist who specializes in medications for mental health.
