Psychiatry in Durham, NC—Medication Management

Whether you’re suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or just general unhappiness, there can be significant benefits in taking medication. However, it’s essential that it’s taken properly.

Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Durham, NC, we are happy to offer our clients online medication management. Our psychiatrists and nurse practitioners can provide you psychiatric care to help you get to the mental place you want and deserve. If you are experiencing a mental health condition and feel like you might benefit from the use of medication, consider reaching out to our office.

Who Could Benefit from Medication Management?

Medication management ensures that our clients are safely taking the medication that is prescribed to them. Our psychiatrists and nurse practitioners determine what medication is right for you, how often you should take it, how much you should take, and if you should eat when taking your medication. 

Those with personality disorders, mood disorders, and other forms of mental illness can find great benefits in taking a prescribed medication. If medication is the best option for you, it’s essential to disclose any of the past medication you’ve taken and medical history to ensure the wrong medication is not prescribed.

Also, let your Thriveworks psychiatric provider know of any medication you are currently taking, any allergies you have now or have had in the past, and make sure to ask any questions you may have before starting something new.

What Might This Relationship Look Like?

It is hard to start a new medication. We want to help ease your mind and answer any questions you may have. Our team is dedicated to being a partner in your mental health journey and want to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and uplifting space to better your mental wellbeing.

When taking medication is the right choice for you, your psychiatric provider might consider a mood stabilizer, cognitive enhancer, or antidepressant. There are many different types of medications and your provider will work with you to ensure the best one is taken.

Working with a psychiatric provider online has a lot of benefits that go beyond managing your medication. Online psychiatry allows you to speak with your mental health professional from wherever it is most convenient for you. Also, online appointments are comfortable, easy, and convenient.

Mindi Perry has extensive education, experience, techniques, etc. Mindi was my supervisor a few years ago. She would help me as we did Family Therapy and I was learning from her. I never left a session without being amazed. She cares deeply for the well-being of others, she does not judge, and she is the best listener I have ever met! She is truly authentic and genuine which is why you will feel completely at ease within moments of meeting her. She’s kind and funny but not at anyone’s expense. Simply put, she’s just a great human. You will be glad you have her in your corner.

I worked with Abena Bediako as a Victim Advocate when she was the contract CIT clinician at our local police department. She is very knowledgeable in every aspect of therapy and crisis intervention. She is tremendously receptive to your needs and ideas, and always provides great insights when problem solving. Abena is very easy to work with and always encouraged my creativity in developing community outreach projects that addressed the needs of special populations within our community. Abena is a wonderful person to work with and makes you comfortable in addressing problems by encouraging you to be part of the solution.

Madina has been so helpful to me in working through anxiety! She’s very straightforward, and has allowed me to see patterns that have really impacted how I’m living in the world, and to start to challenge them. I can honestly say that I have changed more in the year I’ve been seeing her than in decades of previous therapy experiences. She is an exceptional mental health professional!

Dr. Lundy proved to be everything I had heard about her abilities to connect, relate and counsel individuals who had been broken during life's journey. She maintained her professionalism throughout our sessions even when I was a total wreck. She was a Godsend and I thank her for all she has done to help me.

I am a Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have had the pleasure of working alongside Giles Christman. Giles is an outstanding therapist, which his clients can attest to- but what I'd like to provide feedback on is what clients don't see. Giles goes above and beyond to identify resources for each client's need(s), including assisting the client in overcoming any barriers in accessing those resources. Giles exemplifies a holistic, compassionate therapist- I highly recommend him to assist you on your wellness journey.

I have been speaking with Dulcie for a few months now and i have found her advice and coaching to be extremely helpful. Since I have started working with Dulcie i have found myself to be able to identify situations and reasonably work through them in a better manner. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of life guidance.
