Healthcare: Consultation and
Teamwork
Primary Care Providers and
Physicians
I may be of assistance
to your primary care physician and other general
healthcare providers that are not set up to guide the
selection of psychotropic medications, or to evaluate
patient response. Physicians and other medical or
healthcare practices often appreciate the focused
expertise of a mental health specialist.
Psychologists, Social
Workers, Therapists, and Other Licensed or Degreed
Professional Counselors
If you are currently
working with a psychologist or counselor—someone who does
not prescribe medications—there is no conflict with seeing
me as well. Specific training is necessary to deliver
highly skilled “talk therapy.” My expertise is not the
same and is not a substitute for what a good therapist
provides. However, if you and/or your behavioral health
provider suspect a medication might augment your
therapeutic work, I am happy to provide the service.
Anticipate that I will recommend to you that you should
continue with your counseling process.
