Psychiatric Care & Medication Management
Careful diagnosis and thoughtful medication management from board-certified providers — in person in Murfreesboro, McMinnville, or Dickson, or by telehealth anywhere in Tennessee.
A comprehensive first evaluation
Good psychiatric care starts with really understanding you. Your first appointment is a thorough evaluation: your provider takes time to go through your history, your current symptoms, what you've tried before, and what you want out of treatment.
At the end of the evaluation, your provider discusses their diagnostic impression with you openly — what they think is going on, why, and what your options are. You leave the appointment with a plan you helped shape, not just a prescription.
Ongoing medication management
If medication is part of your plan, your provider prescribes it and sends it electronically to your preferred pharmacy — usually before you've left the appointment.
From there, care is a partnership. Regular follow-up visits let your provider see how a medication is working, watch for side effects, and adjust the dose or the medication itself as needed. Follow-ups are available by telehealth or in the office, whichever fits your life.
When medications are hard to get right
Everyone responds to psychiatric medications a little differently. If you've tried medications that didn't work or caused side effects, GeneSight® genetic testing — a simple cheek swab done during a visit — can show how your genes may affect your response to common psychiatric medications and help guide your provider's choices.
For adults whose depression hasn't responded adequately to standard antidepressants, we also offer Spravato® (esketamine) treatment in our offices.
Conditions we treat
Our providers evaluate and treat a wide range of mental health and substance use conditions in patients ages 13 and up, including:
Medication often works best alongside therapy — many of our patients do both, with the same practice coordinating everything.
