Psychiatric and Medication Management Services Include:
Psychiatric Evaluations
Your first psychiatric appointment is an opportunity for your provider to develop a comprehensive understanding of what you're experiencing.
Your provider may discuss your current symptoms and concerns, medical and psychiatric history, previous treatment, medications, family history, daily functioning, and other information relevant to your care.
Following the evaluation, your provider will discuss their clinical impressions and treatment recommendations with you.
Depending on your individual needs, recommendations may include medication, psychotherapy, behavioral or lifestyle strategies, additional evaluation, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, or a combination of approaches.
Medication is not automatically prescribed simply because you schedule a psychiatric evaluation. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on your symptoms, history, needs, and the clinical judgment of your provider.
Psychiatric Medication Management
When medication is part of your treatment plan, ongoing medication management helps your psychiatric provider evaluate how treatment is working over time.
Follow-up appointments may include reviewing symptoms, discussing changes in functioning, monitoring effectiveness and potential side effects, adjusting medications when clinically appropriate, and discussing questions or concerns about treatment.
The frequency of follow-up appointments varies depending on your individual needs, medications, symptoms, and stage of treatment.
When appropriate and with necessary authorization, our psychiatric providers may also coordinate care with therapists, primary care providers, specialists, and other professionals involved in your treatment.
Psychotherapuetic Support
Adjunctive Psychotherapy: The field of psychiatric services has seen significant advancements in recent years, with a particular emphasis on evidence-based treatments and patient engagement. Research reports play a crucial role in informing and shaping the practical applications of psychiatric services. For example, studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in treating conditions such as anxiety disorders and depression, leading to the integration of this approach into psychiatric treatment. Integrating adjunctive psychotherapy into your treatment enhances your rapport with your provider, increases the accuracy of the psychopharmaceutical interventions utilized leading to better treatment outcomes.
Child, Adolescent & Young Adult Psychiatry
Children and adolescents can experience psychiatric symptoms differently from adults, and treatment should take developmental stage, family context, school functioning, medical history, and other factors into consideration.
Resilience has two child-focused psychiatric prescribers serving patients ages 4–30, providing families with access to specialized psychiatric care from childhood through adolescence and into young adulthood.
Our providers work with young patients experiencing concerns that may include:
ADHD • Anxiety • Depression • OCD • Mood Disorders • Emotional & Behavioral Concerns • Trauma-Related Symptoms • Sleep Concerns • School-Related Difficulties • and other psychiatric conditions
Depending on the patient's age and clinical needs, parents or caregivers may be involved in evaluation and treatment planning.
Having psychiatric care available within a larger multidisciplinary behavioral health practice also makes it possible for families to access psychotherapy, psychological testing, and other mental health services through Resilience when clinically appropriate.
Adult Psychiatry & Medication Management
Resilience provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns.
Patients may seek psychiatric care because symptoms are interfering with work, relationships, sleep, concentration, daily functioning, or overall quality of life. Others may already be taking psychiatric medication and need an ongoing provider to evaluate and manage treatment.
Our psychiatric providers work collaboratively with patients to understand their symptoms, treatment history, goals, and response to medication.
Treatment recommendations are individualized and may evolve over time as symptoms and circumstances change.
Conditions Our Psychiatric Team Treats
Our psychiatric providers evaluate and treat a broad range of mental health concerns. Areas of treatment across the psychiatric team may include:
ADHD
Anxiety Disorders
Depression
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Bipolar & Mood Disorders
Trauma & PTSD
Social Anxiety
Sleep & Insomnia Concerns
Emotional & Behavioral Concerns
Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders
Psychotic Disorders
Grief-Related Mental Health Concerns
Other Psychiatric & Mental Health Conditions
Individual providers may have different areas of specialization, age ranges, and clinical scope. Our scheduling team can help identify an available provider whose services may be appropriate for your needs.
Integrated Psychiatry, Therapy & Psychological Services
Mental health treatment doesn't always fit neatly into a single category.
Some patients benefit from psychiatric medication alone, while others benefit from combining medication with psychotherapy or other behavioral health services.
Because Resilience is a multidisciplinary practice, patients can access psychiatry, counseling and psychotherapy, psychological testing, and specialized behavioral health services within one organization.
When clinically appropriate and authorized by the patient, providers can collaborate to support coordinated care.
Telehealth Psychiatry Throughout Virginia
Resilience provides convenient telehealth psychiatry and medication management throughout Virginia with participating psychiatric providers.
Telehealth allows eligible patients to meet with their psychiatric provider through secure video appointments without traveling to one of our physical offices.
Depending on the provider and individual clinical circumstances, patients may be able to complete psychiatric evaluations and follow-up medication-management appointments through telehealth.
Availability and appropriateness of telehealth services are determined by the treating provider based on individual clinical needs and applicable requirements.
