Medication Management
Thoughtful, collaborative psychiatric care tailored to your individual needs.
Medication can be an important part of treating mental health concerns and improving overall well-being. Our psychiatric providers work collaboratively with you to explore whether medication may be appropriate, discuss potential benefits and risks, and develop an individualized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.

Medication Management at COR
Our psychiatric providers offer evaluation and ongoing medication management for a variety of mental health concerns. Care is individualized and may include reviewing symptoms and treatment history, discussing medication and non-medication options, monitoring how medications are working, and making adjustments when appropriate.
We believe mental health care works best when it is collaborative. When appropriate, our prescribers may also coordinate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to support continuity of care.
ADHD Evaluation & Medication Management
Our psychiatric providers offer support for ADHD evaluation and medication management, with a thoughtful and individualized approach to care. Some of our providers require a prior diagnosis or formal psychological evaluation before prescribing medication for ADHD. Others are able to assess for ADHD and provide medication management as part of ongoing care.
At this time, ADHD services are typically offered within the context of ongoing care or through referral from an established therapist who can provide additional clinical context and support. We may not always be able to accommodate self-referrals seeking ADHD evaluation or medication alone.
If you are currently working with a therapist at COR and ADHD is a concern, your therapist can help determine whether a referral to one of our prescribers may be appropriate. If you have a prior diagnosis and are interested in starting or transferring care, please complete our contact form to request services.
Important Information
-
Our psychiatric providers do not provide specialized substance use treatment, including medications or services for opioid use disorder, alcohol detoxification, or other conditions requiring a dedicated chemical dependency treatment program.
If you are actively using alcohol or other substances, this may affect the safety or appropriateness of psychiatric medication management. Depending on your individual circumstances, your provider may recommend addressing substance use concerns with a specialized treatment provider before or alongside psychiatric care.
For safety reasons, certain medications may not be prescribed when there is active substance use or when appropriate chemical dependency treatment and support are not in place. These decisions are made individually based on your clinical needs, history, and overall treatment plan.
-
Your safety is a priority. Patients in treatment with a Cor-affiliated provider are stable enough to receive care in an office setting. If your condition is unstable, medically complex, or could benefit from a specialist setting, you will receive recommendations for a more suitable treatment setting.
