Personalized Medication Management Solutions in Montana
We understand that seeking medication management can feel overwhelming. You may be uncertain about where to turn for help or wonder if medication is the right option for you. Perhaps you’ve tried to manage your struggles alone, explored different treatments without relief, or simply don’t feel like yourself and long to regain a sense of balance.
At the nCenter, we recognize that research supports the most effective outcomes when therapy is combined with medication. That’s why our therapists work closely with our Physician Assistant, Alison Hall, PA, to provide integrated and personalized care for our clients.
Reasons for Seeking Psychiatric Care
There are many reasons why someone might seek psychiatric care, including:
Depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbances
Hormonal imbalances
ADHD (ADD) or difficulty with focus
Symptoms that interfere with daily life
Perhaps you’ve tried managing symptoms on your own, but haven’t found success. Maybe you’re unsure of what’s wrong, yet you feel that something isn’t right. If your symptoms are worsening or affecting your well-being, medication management can provide the support you need.
At the nCenter, we have helped many individuals who felt uncertain about their next steps or whether medication management was right for them. With the guidance of our PA and compassionate therapists, they found relief and a path toward a more fulfilling life.
Our Medication Management Process
Comprehensive Assessment
Our PA will assess your symptoms, review your current medications, and explore treatment options.
Your initial interview with her will cover medical history, past mental health treatments, and current medications (including dosages and timing).
A review of your medical records will be conducted to discuss any diagnoses or concerns with our PA.
You will receive clear explanations to help you understand your situation and determine if medication management is the right approach.
If necessary, a diagnosis will be made, and appropriate treatment options will be discussed. We offer psychological assessments with our clinical psychologist, Jackie Stanley, if you are unsure of or want to confirm your diagnosis.
