What is
Medication Management
Psychiatric medication management is the use of medication within a broader treatment plan to help relieve symptoms and provide the clarity and stability needed to work through emotional and behavioral challenges. It’s more than simply prescribing a pill; it’s a comprehensive, ongoing process designed to support your overall well-being.
This process involves a thorough, whole-person evaluation and careful selection of medication, only if it is needed. We then provide consistent monitoring and adjustments to ensure optimal results. We believe this approach works best when paired with supportive therapy and coordinated closely with your other healthcare providers.

Medication Management?
There’s often a stigma around taking medication for mental health conditions, but psychiatric medication can help manage chemical levels in the brain to alleviate severe symptoms—just like taking medication for physical health. When medication is the best option, we work closely with you to find the right fit and manage any side effects so you can reach your lifestyle goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can schedule directly with LÉVO without needing a referral from a primary care physician.
What's the difference between medication management at LÉVO and my primary care doctor prescribing medication?
While primary care doctors do wonderful work, mental health appointments are often limited to brief visits. At LÉVO, our psychiatric nurse practitioners specialize exclusively in mental health. We spend significantly more time with you—60 minutes for an intake—to assess biological, psychological, and social factors before prescribing.
I've tried medication before and it didn't work. Can LÉVO help?
Yes. Many patients come to us after incomplete solutions. Because we utilize advanced tools like genomic testing and detailed lab work, along with longer appointment times, we can often identify underlying drivers that were previously missed and find a path forward that actually works for you.
What is Genomic Testing?
Genomic testing is a simple swab test that analyzes your unique DNA to see how your body metabolizes certain medications. This helps us take the guesswork out of prescribing, allowing us to choose medications that are more likely to be effective and have fewer side effects for your specific biology.
Does LÉVO provide therapy?
LÉVO specializes in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Our providers integrate brief evidence-based psychotherapy (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) into medication management visits when clinically appropriate.We do not provide traditional hour-long therapy or replace a licensed therapist.
