What is your go-to approach in sessions?

My go-to approach for helping people in our medication check-ins is to evaluate a patient's baseline to current, address any questions or concerns, increased dosage if necessary, offered holistic ways to also manage symptoms, and continue to check in on a regular basis. I find the best benefit in regularly scheduled follow up appointments to establish proactive and preventative measures for optimization of overall health and wellness.

What is your typical approach to prescribing medications?

My typical approach to prescribing medication is to take patient's medication history into account, addressing any concerns and expectations, and selecting a safe and cost-effective medication individualized for the patient because this is considered best practice.

Do you teach clients any therapeutic tools in sessions?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in our sessions when moods and emotions have improved, client reports improved life satisfaction, increased motivation, and frequency in follow up sessions decrease.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement psychiatric treatment?

Clients typically benefit from routine psychotherapy sessions in conjunction with psychotropic medication outside of our sessions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting psychiatric care?

To prepare for your first psychiatry session, you can gather any pertinent information such as previous psychiatric medications as dosages, and well as writing down any questions or concerns you may have for the clinician.

Grand Rapids, MI Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers

Many clients find talk therapy an effective way to work through difficult times and challenges. For others, therapy combined with psychiatric medication is a more effective treatment method. Just as we take medication for high blood pressure and diabetes, psychiatric medications are taken to treat the symptoms of a variety of issues including:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Attention issues
  • Stress
  • Panic

Thriveworks Counseling Grand Rapids is now offering medication management services through our psychiatric nurse practitioners. These nurse practitioners are highly specialized to work with psychiatric medications, provide evaluations, education and treatment for mental health disorders using medication. To get started, reach out to Thriveworks in Grand Rapids today.

Can Medication Help Me?

Medication can help many different people people, for a short or long period to work through challenging times and transitions, along with talk or other types of therapy. Sometimes medication can make it possible for clients to better handle and regulate their emotions so they are able to focus more on the other therapy they are receiving.

Some medications need to be taken for several weeks before they start to become effective at relieving symptoms. They need time to build up in our system, so we ask clients to give 4-6 weeks commitment to the process after starting medication to determine effectiveness and evaluate whether another treatment method would be more effective.

This will be an important conversation you will have with the Nurse Practitioner as you work together, along with your regular therapist. Continued evaluation of your progress is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment methods we are using.

I am loving Thriveworks not only for the convenience of virtual appointments, but this is the first place I’ve tried that has actually helped. My therapist is incredibly kind and helpful and is amazing at helping me with any issues I’m struggling with. They paired me with a therapist that is experienced in the specific areas I needed help with, and it has been wonderful. I would absolutely recommend Thriveworks!

My son saw Denise for the first time recently and she was great. She seemed very well informed in every area and so willing to help my son with his anxiety. She actually spent time with us and seemed to care. I'm so glad we found her.

I was in need of a psychiatrist for chronic depression and anxiety. I came across thrive having only a 4 month wait instead 9 to 12 month wait with any other psychiatrist. This was wonderful news. I met Denise as my clinician. She is very empathetic very knowledgeable. She has helped me alot sine my first vist. She is very dedicated to her patients which I truly appreciate. I would highly recommend her for any psychiatric needs. I think she goes above and beyond her role. She is a caring individual. There should be more people like Denise. She needs to be recognized for her work.
