Medication Evaluation

Pivot Counseling is proud to partner with holistic psychiatrists who are able to provide medicine options as needed. Our psychiatrists specialize in seeing both kids/teens as well as adults and understand the uniqueness between the two groups. Their goal is not to push pills as some people fear. Quite the contrary, our psychiatrists want to fully know you both personally and medically before giving you the pros and cons for all your options. Collaboration is key and your voice matters. If you are unsure about whether or not medications are for you, I would recommend speaking to one of our therapists first before getting a referral.

If the idea of medications concerns you, please read my blog post about understanding the purpose behind medications here. Otherwise, please contact us today to get started with your initial medication evaluation in a timely manner.
