What is your go-to approach in sessions?

My go-to approach for helping people in our medication check-ins is making sure that you are aware and comfortable with the treatment plan. I strive to answer any questions and address any concerns before we finalize your plan.

What is your typical approach to prescribing medications?

I firmly believe that medication and therapy go hand-in-hand. I try to make sure that any medication changes will enhance your ability to fully participate in therapy.

Do you teach clients any therapeutic tools in sessions?

I know that my clients are making meaningful progress when they tell me that they are engaging in activities they used to enjoy, whether that it is spending time with friends and family or participating in their hobbies.

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

I always encourage clients to practice learned coping strategies to build confidence in their use of their skills. I also encourage my clients to try to get outside and in nature for a little bit each day.

What should someone do to prepare for starting psychiatric care?

To prepare for their first visit, I would encourage clients to check out their provider's profile on the Thriveworks website. I would also encourage you to compile a list of any previously trialed medications.

Greenville, SC Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers

Counseling for mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety, is very effective and many people benefit greatly from meeting with a licensed professional therapist to improve the quality of their lives.  For some people, the combination of medication management with counseling has proven to be helpful.  In the same way that diet and exercise has helped many people lower their blood pressure or manage their diabetes, medication management has helped people stabilize their mood, increase focus, and treat symptoms of depression.  Simply put, it can help increase the benefits of mental health therapy.

Thriveworks’ psychiatric nurse practitioners offer medication management in Greenville, SC.  Our nurse practitioners are fully licensed, board certified, and have the understanding and credentials to prescribe the medication that’s right for you. They’ll even tell you when medication is not needed. Reach out today to partner with a psychiatric nurse practitioner and get the care you’re looking for.

What Are Medication Management Services?

Psychiatric nurse practitioners play an important role on the Thriveworks clinical team. Not only can they prescribe medications to treat mental health concerns, they can also help clients manage their existing psychiatric medications, and even develop a plan to transition off these medications if that’s medically appropriate.

Psychiatric nurse practitioners collaborate with the clinical team at Thriveworks Greenville, SC.  Clients who currently meet with a mental health counselor at Thriveworks benefit from having a clinical team that works together to develop a plan of care that’s right for each person. Additionally, for clients seeking medication management in Greenville, Thriveworks psychiatric nurse practitioners can also make therapist recommendations for those who are interested in talk therapy.

Who May Benefit from Medication Management Services?

Oftentimes, we believe that only the most severe mental health conditions require medication management.  While it’s often true that conditions, such as schizophrenia, are helped with the use of prescribed medication, many other mental health concerns can be supported by medication management, as well.  Psychiatric medication has been shown to help issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, and adjustment disorders, in some clients.

Schedule a Greenville Medication Management Appointment

There’s no need to wait any longer – call Thriveworks Medication Management in Greenville, SC today.  We’ll help you get connected with a licensed, board certified, psychiatric nurse practitioner to see if medication management is right for you.  If so, we’ll work with you to find an appropriate medication to help you manage your mental health concerns.  If medication management is not the right option for you, we’ll let you know; and if you’d prefer, we’ll connect you with a licensed professional counselor who will guide you on a pathway to healing and empowerment.

Finding a medication manager can be difficult.  Most offices are not accepting clients, and those that are, often don’t accept insurance. At Thriveworks Medication Management of Greenville, SC, we accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible appointment times, making it both affordable and convenient to get the support you need.  Call today to see if medication management is right for you.

Kathleen Horn was so understanding and non-judgmental. She was really nice to work with and had a way of making me look at and think about things differently. She worked with me on coping skills and changing my thoughts so I could change behaviors and feel better. She helped me through a tough time and now I feel a lot less depressed and anxious. I would go to her again. Thank you for all of your help!

LaKimberly Dowdell was an excellent counselor. She was a great listener, while at the same time knowing precisely the right moment to provide her expert knowledge. She is very personable and caring, yet knows what to say to support the change you are seeking. I highly recommend her.

The only reason why my Family stopped going to see Ms. Dowdell is because I had to change jobs and at the time my schedule would not allow us to continue services. She made sure my Family had a great transition to another Provider and that we had continuity of care. Now that my schedule has a little more flexibility, I am very thankful to be able to continue services with Ms. Dowdell who still remembers my Family’s history like we were just in her office yesterday (over 1 year ago)! She listens intently and never puts you down, and helps you understand your emotions and what issues and problems you may be going through in a way that you can understand but clearly. Personally, I deal with a lot of stress and being pulled in a lot of directions, and would when I felt as though my words did not make sense coming out of my mouth, she would know how to piece together what I was saying and not make me feel bad for being too vulnerable and made my therapy sessions a safe space to learn and grow from them. I am forever grateful for how she is helping my Family accept what we need to accept, change what we need to change, and heal from the root of our wounds; wounds I did not know were there. I highly recommend her.

Emily was the first therapist I had ever gone to after thinking for a long time it would be good for me. I was stuck in a rut and repeating patterns and using coping skills that were no longer helpful to me. She helped me work through many of my personal issues, some which had been stewing since childhood. She always knew when to push and when to back off if a certain issue was too sensitive at that time. She is honest yet kind. I was sad to see her move out of Chicago but I will forever be grateful for the tools she helped me to develop for dealing with the sh**show that life can be sometimes. She helped me get back into alignment with who I really am as a person. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is struggling or even just looking for a little more balance in their lives.

Emily has been an amazing help in my life for the past couple of years. She helped me see my worth when I couldn't see it myself. She helped me with my grief after losing my father. She helped me overcome my addictions with drugs and alcohol. She taught me to be kind to myself and that everyday is not gonna be an amazing day and that's okay. She helped me accept that I don't have to know the outcomes to big life changes that it's best to go with the flow, wear life like a loose garment. Emily is such and amazing counselor and I am forever grateful for everything she helped me see. Emily cares tremendously and I know deep in my heart she is gonna continue being the sunshine in many more client lives. Emily has made a huge impact on my life and I don't think I will ever find a counselor as down to earth as she is. Chicago misses you already!!! :) :) :)
