the decision to take medication is a challenging one for everyone
Making medication decisions is a risk versus benefit analysis, and one that requires a conversation with someone who has advanced training in psychiatric medications for this population. This is especially true if you are pregnant or lactating. It is also true that many people in their reproductive years are diagnosed with anxiety or depression without ruling out conditions that can be the root cause of anxiety or depression symptoms. The providers at our office in Burnsville, MN are here to help you with this important decision.

Psychiatric Medication Evaluation & Management
Evidence-based information about safety of treatment options during and after pregnancy
Ordering of labs to rule out imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms (hormone levels, thyroid, iron/ferritin, adrenal levels, etc.)
Education on supplements that may benefit your overall wellbeing.
We believe it is important to collaborate with your other healthcare providers. We will work together to make a plan that feels right for you.
A Medication Management Consultation Would Be Good for Those Who:
Want someone who has education in medication or supplement use during pregnancy and lactation
Need someone experienced in the hormonal shifts that women experience pre-menstrually, postpartum, and during peri-menopause
Have tried several different medications in the past, without success or severe negative side effects
Have been told that they cannot use psychotropic medications during pregnancy or needs to stop nursing in order to take medications (this is not true!)
