Who & What Do We Treat

At Brighter Day Psychiatry, we believe in comprehensive and compassionate medication management to support your mental health journey. Our ongoing medication management sessions typically range from 15 to 30 minutes, providing ample time to discuss the efficacy and tolerability of your medication. 

We also take the opportunity to review and update your recent medical history and external stressors, ensuring that your treatment remains aligned with your evolving needs. As part of our commitment to patient education, we offer psychoeducation about your treatment, empowering you to make informed decisions about your mental health care. 

Furthermore, we encourage open communication and welcome any questions or concerns you may have. While I'm not a therapist, however I do  provide space for you to discuss whatever is on your mind, offering validation, support, and empathy. This is known as supportive psychotherapy approach allows for a holistic and nurturing experience as we work together towards your well-being. Please note that sessions that include 16 minutes or more of supportive psychotherapy is considered an add on service and is billed via your insurance as such. 

If you prefer to talk about medications only in order to avoid extra fees/charges please advise me ahead of time.

At our practice, patient safety and responsible prescribing practices are paramount considerations. As such, we adhere strictly to regulations set forth by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regarding controlled substances. Controlled substances, such as benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Ativan, Valium), hypnotics (e.g., Lunesta, Ambien), and stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin), are powerful medications with significant potential for abuse and adverse effects. Consequently, we do not routinely prescribe these medications unless clinically indicated and deemed necessary for your treatment plan.

Furthermore, any individual being considered for a controlled substance prescription will undergo a urine drug screen prior to initiation of the medication and periodically thereafter at the provider's discretion. This protocol helps ensure that patients are using prescribed medications responsibly and are not engaging in substance misuse or abuse. It's important to note that if a urine drug screen detects substances such as marijuana, alcohol, or excessive amounts of caffeine, it may impact the decision to prescribe a controlled substance.

Our practice is committed to promoting patient well-being and minimizing potential risks associated with controlled substances. We encourage open communication and collaboration to explore alternative treatment options that align with your needs and goals. Your health and safety are our top priorities, and we appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe and effective treatment environment. If you have any questions or concerns about our controlled substance policy, please don't hesitate to discuss them with your provider.
