Understanding Medication Management
At Tresna Psychiatry, our medication management approach goes beyond symptom control to support your overall well-being. We work collaboratively to find medications that align with your mental health goals while respecting your identity, values, and quality of life. Treatment is personalized to consider how medications impact not only your mind, but also your relationships, work, and sense of self.
About Medication Management
We understand that navigating psychiatric medication can be complex. Our clinicians provide thoughtful, evidence-based medication management designed to support your mental health with care, expertise, and attentiveness. Whether you are being treated for depression, anxiety, ADHD, or another mental health concern, medication may be used as one part of a personalized care plan, in combination with talk therapy and holistic wellness practices.
Our Philosophy
Medication is a tool, one that, when used correctly and thoughtfully, can significantly improve quality of life. At Tresna, we emphasize the importance of intentional prescribing, guided by clinical expertise and aligned with each individual’s mental health goals. Medications are never prescribed reflexively or indefinitely without review. Instead, our team works collaboratively with you to determine whether and when medication is appropriate, and how it integrates into your broader care strategy.

Your mental health deserves personalized care and attentive follow-up. We’re here to ensure you receive exactly that.
Medication & Talk Therapy
We believe that mental health challenges are deeply connected to our emotional experiences. That’s why our team uses various talk therapy modalities to address the root causes of emotional distress. When appropriate, customized guided meditations are also integrated into sessions to help release unresolved trauma and ease anxiety.
Our Treatment Methods
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
This approach helps uncover how unconscious patterns, past experiences, and early relationships influence your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By bringing insight into these dynamics, psychodynamic therapy supports long-term emotional growth and more effective use of medication.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative, goal-oriented technique that helps you explore and resolve ambivalence about treatment or change. Motivational interviewing is often used alongside medication management to build internal motivation, enhance commitment, and support behavioral progress.
Life Coaching & Counseling
We provide practical guidance focused on building emotional resilience, improving relationships, and navigating daily challenges. This forward-looking support pairs well with medication management to help you take meaningful action toward your personal and professional goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. When combined with medication, it can enhance treatment outcomes for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other conditions by building practical coping skills and reshaping cognitive responses.
Family & Couples Therapy
Relationships play a key role in mental health. This modality addresses how family dynamics, communication styles, and emotional patterns affect well-being. Therapy sessions may include loved ones or focus on relational insight to ensure medication management supports your interpersonal growth.
Customized Guided Meditations
Tailored mindfulness and meditation exercises are integrated into care to reduce anxiety, manage emotional stress, and support nervous system regulation. These practices complement medication by promoting calm, focus, and a greater sense of self-awareness.
Each 45-minute session provides a space for in-depth exploration and healing. For clients who already work with an external therapist, we also offer 30-minute medication management sessions focused on prescribing and monitoring treatment.

Your answers to
popular questions
Medication is never prescribed unless it is truly needed. Our team takes time to understand each patient’s emotional, psychological, and life context before making any treatment decisions. While therapy, meditation, and other holistic approaches are often effective on their own, in some cases a carefully selected medication can enhance the healing process and accelerate recovery. If medication is recommended, it is always part of a broader, individualized plan, and tapering is considered once the patient has developed the emotional resilience and tools to move forward without it. Every treatment plan is guided by clinical insight, compassion, and respect for the individual.
