Medication Management

Relate consulting psychiatrists provide psychiatric medication management for Relate psychotherapy clients in a coordinated effort to manage, monitor, and assess medication effectiveness and side-effects. Children, adolescents, and adults who receive therapy services at Relate are welcome to schedule an appointment with one of our psychiatrists for a psychiatric assessment to determine if medication may be a helpful adjunct to therapy. Following the initial assessment, the clients will meet with a psychiatrist on a regular basis to monitor progress. Please speak to your Relate therapist if you are interested in seeing a psychiatrist. Psychiatric services are available to current Relate clients only.

PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENTS

Current Relate clients can be referred as needed by Relate clinicians to one of the consulting psychiatrists on Relate’s staff. Psychiatrists will complete their own assessments of clients’ symptoms and concerns, with an eye toward evaluating whether medication might be helpful in alleviating distress and/or improving functioning. If medication is prescribed, Relate’s psychiatrists will continue to work with clients to manage a client’s medication needs over time.
