Find Balance at Cohen Psychiatric
What is Psychopharmacology?
The study and application of medications used to treat mental health conditions. When appropriate, psychiatric medications can play a vital role in managing symptoms, restoring balance, and supporting long-term recovery. We combine clinical insight with patient-centered care to ensure the best outcomes.
Our approach
Comprehensive Psychiatric Assessment
Before beginning any treatment, we conduct a detailed evaluation to understand your mental health history, current symptoms, past treatments, and overall well-being. This allows us to form a complete picture and determine whether medication may be helpful as part of your care plan.
Individualized Treatment Planning
We tailor every treatment to the individual. After your assessment, we discuss whether medication is appropriate and, if so, which options align best with your needs and preferences. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and empowered at every step, with treatment that is both effective and respectful of your personal experience.
Thoughtful Medication Initiation
When medication is recommended, we start with a cautious and personalized approach—using the lowest effective dose and choosing medications with a favorable safety and side effect profile. You’ll receive clear guidance about what to expect, and we’ll remain available to address any questions or concerns that arise early on.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Effective psychopharmacology requires ongoing attention. We schedule regular follow-ups to assess how the medication is working, make adjustments if needed, and support you in navigating any side effects. Your treatment plan evolves with you, and we stay closely involved throughout the process.
Collaborative and Coordinated Care
Mental health care works best when it’s well-connected. With your consent, we’re happy to collaborate with your therapist, primary care physician, or other specialists to ensure a coordinated approach to your wellness. Our team-based mindset helps provide the most comprehensive care possible.
