Lexington, MA Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practioners

Psychiatrists can help you through the different stages of your mental health journey. The psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks in Lexington Counseling are able to assist you with the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. They can also take care of your medication management needs and will ensure you’re taking the right medication at the right time.

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners conduct their appointments online, which means you can get the help you need from anywhere, via video. If you feel like meeting with a psychiatrist might benefit you, consider reaching out to our office.

What Is Medication Management?

Medication management is quite simple – your psychiatrist will work with you to ensure you’re taking the right medication, at the right time of day, correctly. Working with a licensed psychiatrist or nurse practitioner has benefits that go beyond just taking the right medication. They can also determine when you might need to up your dosage, decrease your dosage, and switch to a different medication if something isn’t working. If you are prescribed a medication, make sure to:

  • Let your provider know about the medications or supplements you are currently taking
  • Talk about any allergies or negative reactions you’ve had with any medications in the past
  • Understand how much medication you need and when to take it before you start using it
  • Call your provider if you are having any problems or concerns about your medication
  • Ask your psychiatrist any questions you have prior to starting something new

Who Can Benefit from Psychiatry?

Most people assume that only the most severe mental health conditions require medication. However, that is not always the case. You may not have the most severe case of depression, but you could still benefit from the help of medication to pull you out of your rut. Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other psychiatric medications can benefit people with conditions like:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Adjustment disorders
  • Other mood disorders

If you are battling a mental health condition and feel like you could benefit from getting the help of an online psychiatrist, consider reaching out to our office. We’d love to work with you.

Benefits of Online Psychiatry

Our psychiatrists and nurse practitioners are certified, experienced, client-focused, and caring. Our goal is to help you better manage and ultimately overcome the thing that’s holding you back. There are many benefits to working with an online psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington, MA, including:

  • Comfort: Working with a professional online instead of in person makes many people feel more comfortable. In addition, being able to speak with your provider from virtually anywhere is a great added benefit.
  • Convenience: In addition, working with a psychiatrist online versus in-person is often more convenient. It doesn’t require you to commute to an office but instead allows you to attend your session from wherever is convenient for you.
  • Fast turnaround: You won’t have to worry about a waitlist or have a hard time scheduling an appointment. We dedicate ourselves to being available to our clients as quickly as possible because we understand how important it is to receive the care you need when you need it.

If you have been searching for comfortable, convenient care, you’re in the right place.
