Medication Management
Psychopharmacology
Although many emotional difficulties can be fully treated with psychotherapy alone, at times additional treatment with medication may be necessary. In fact, research indicates that the combination of psychotherapy and medication is often the most effective treatment for some conditions. During an initial consultation meeting, clients and our prescriber work collaboratively to identify the client's individual needs and concerns and to determine whether medication or another non-medication treatment option may be most beneficial for the client.
At Commonwealth Psychology Associates (CPA), we offer psychopharmacology treatment programs for a range of emotional and cognitive problems, including mood problems, anxiety symptoms, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). When needed, our prescriber, Kathy Andolina, works closely with a client and his or her psychologist to identify the most effective psychopharmacology treatment options for each individual. Through regular follow-up meetings, Kathy also carefully monitors the progress of clients to ensure that each person is receiving optimal benefit from psychopharmacological medications.
Psychopharmacology and medication management services at CPA are available to clients who are already participating in another of our services. If you think that you might benefit from a medication consultation, please speak with your CPA therapist or neuropsychologist who will be happy to make a referral for you.
