Why medication management?
Deciding whether medication is right for you or your child is a big decision. We do not take it lightly, and neither should you.
At Northeast Family Services, our psychiatric providers offer thorough evaluations, honest conversations, and ongoing support. We do not prescribe in isolation, and we do not rush the process. If medication is the right fit, we will monitor your progress closely and adjust as needed. If it is not the right fit, we will tell you that, too.
Medication management is available for both children and adults across all of the states we serve.
How it works
1
Step 1: Your First Appointment About Medication
Your first appointment is an evaluation. Your psychiatric provider will take the time to understand what you are experiencing, review your history, and ask questions about how your symptoms are affecting your daily life. This is not a quick check-in. It is a real conversation.

Step 2: A Plan Built Around You
After the evaluation, your provider will walk you through their findings and recommendations. If medication is part of the plan, they will explain how it works, what to watch for, and what to expect in the weeks ahead. You will never be handed a prescription without understanding why.

Step 3: Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Medication management does not stop at the prescription. Your provider will check in with you regularly to see how things are going, address any concerns, and adjust your treatment if needed. We track your progress and stay in close contact with your therapist to make sure your whole care plan is moving in the right direction.
Coordinated Care
One of the most important things we do is make sure your prescriber and your therapist are on the same page.
We coordinate your full treatment plan across your care team so that your plan is aligned. We make sure your providers are communicating about your treatment. You are not left trying to manage a gap between providers.
If you are seeing a therapist outside of Northeast Family Services and are interested in adding medication, we can help with that, too.

- Are currently in therapy but not seeing the progress you hoped for
- Have tried medication before and want a provider who will take a careful, individualized approach
- Are a parent looking for psychiatric support for your child alongside their existing therapy

What happens at a psychiatric evaluation?
A psychiatric evaluation is a thorough conversation between you and a psychiatric provider. They will ask about your symptoms, your history, how you are functioning day to day, and what goals you have for treatment. It typically takes about an hour. The goal is to understand your full picture before making any recommendations.
Will my prescriber and therapist communicate with each other?

Is medication management available for children?
