Psychiatric medication can be an important part of mental health treatment in some cases, but not everyone benefits from medication.
Even in individuals for whom medication is helpful, research shows that combining medication with psychotherapy is more effective than medication alone.
Dr. Chantal generally advises her patients to see her for an initial evaluation where together she will help you determine what will likely be the most beneficial approach in your situation. If a medication evaluation would be helpful, Dr. Chantal's clinical team includes wonderful, very qualified psychiatrists that can work with you.
Generally, about 20% of our therapy clients also take medication, while about 80% are able to acheive their emotional wellness and mental health goals without medication.
