"People are made up of three components, Thinking, Feeling, and Willing. All three components need to be addressed in Counseling.
Medication is only recommended when symptoms are getting in the way of daily living. When one becomes debilitated in the realms of work, home and self to the degree that functioning is painful and inadequate then relief is essential. Suffering can be useful but too much of anything is not useful and gets in the way of developing in a healthy way as a human being.
No work can be done without a collaborative approach. I provide complete services to an individual including assessment medication and therapy but also work with those who already have a therapist to look at their possible medication needs."
Concerned Primary Care Physicians may also refer when they feel a psychiatric consultation is indicated.
