Medication Management

Maureen provides mental health medication evaluations and treatment

It's what I do for a living. :)

My primary role is medication management of behavioral health disorders.

I have wealth of experience with medication treatment of mental health disorders. Medication treatment is intentional, precise, specialized , and with utmost safety prescribing in mind.

Medication management along with integrated care which includes life style changes and supportive/talk therapy. I have several year of experience

I have been working in behavioral health for 20+ years and 13+ years in psychiatry. I have a wide variety of experience and also have some specific interests and areas of expertise working with youth (14+) and adult.

I offer medication management for those who make the choice to include medications as part of their therapeutic journey. My goal for you is to keep your medications and doses as low as possible so that you feel a therapeutic effect but still feel like YOU. Medications are not a quick fix but they can be helpful to make our moods, emotions, and difficult life transitions more manageable.

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I integrate both pharmacological and non pharmacological options to use a comprehensive approach to treatment. I work together with my clients to support their goals with or without medications. I will always opt out for non addictive options. If you are taking benzodiazepines or z-drugs on a regular basis, you will be better served with another clinician.

I am committed to providing specialized and targeted care for individuals (aged 7 and up) grappling with anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, PTSD, BED, and ADHD. I strive to create a therapeutic alliance, empower clients with knowledge, and work collaboratively to find the best possible treatment option to enhance their mental health and overall well-being.

Support via psychiatric medications or natural alternatives based on your preference. As a holistic provider my practice is very individualized and not one-size-fits-all. I utilize the best of both conventional medications and alternative treatments, carefully choosing what will have the best effect with the lowest likelihood of negative side effects for your individual needs.

Medication intervention is not necessary for every situation, but in some cases it is appropriate and has proven to be highly effective when paired with therapy. For this reason, I work closely with a board certified psychiatrist with a background in internal medicine and over 30 years of experience. We are able to provide top notch holistic mental health services and streamline our clients' care.

In addition to offering psychotherapy I also can prescribe medication when we agree that seems useful. As a psychiatric specialist I have a broad knowledge of older and newer medication options and individual patient factors which might predict response to specific agents, which may be helpful when prior medication trials have not proven useful.

If your individualized treatment plan includes medications, I am adept at choosing the appropriate medications to fit each individual's unique concerns and symptoms. I believe in partnering with patients to help guide the medication selection process based on what each individual is comfortable with, providing education on how medications work, and listening closely to patient feedback to optimize symptom control while utilizing the least amount of medication possible.

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I want you to feel heard by someone who understands! Whether you are interested in medications or not, I am looking forward to connecting with you and partnering with YOU to help YOU achieve satisfaction and success in life, while ultimately feeling empowered in YOUR own wellness journey.

Yes I am accepting new patients who live in Massachusetts. I offer video telehealth appointments. Medication can help to treat the symptoms that are bothering you and getting in the way of you reaching your goals. I use evidence supported medications to treat your symptoms. I look forward to meeting you and to help you to feel better. I have been a physician for 20 years and in private practice for 11 years. Please call my office at 413-341-5081.

As a psychiatrist, I offer medication management services designed to help you achieve optimal mental health. By working together, we can identify the right medications for you and monitor them. I understand that medication can be a sensitive issue for many people, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns and needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, I am here to help.

I have a DEA/DEA-X Certification. I use both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy and also believe in the use of non-pharmacological methods when necessary. Together, we will create a treatment plan that you are comfortable with. I am also certified to work with clients struggling with Weight Loss and can prescribe Ozempic and Wegovy.

Your initial evaluation will help determine the need for psychotropic medications. We will gather your physical and mental health history, review your current and past diagnoses, analyze past and current medications, and together we will make a treatment plan. I will work with you to decide if medication is the right option for you and get the right prescription to your pharmacy.
