When you are already carrying a lot, getting mental health support should feel clear and manageable. For clients who may benefit from medication, LMV Counseling offers access to medication management through independently practicing Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners who collaborate with our team while providing care through their own medical practices.
This allows you to receive medication support in a setting that feels grounded, welcoming, and connected to the rest of your care. It is a practical option for people looking for thoughtful follow-up, a collaborative approach, and support that feels more personal. All prescribing and medical decisions remain fully under the authority of the independent nurse practitioner you work with.
Quick Navigation
Meet our medication providers
Our medication providers bring different strengths and styles to their work, but both share a thoughtful, collaborative approach to care. Whether you are looking for a provider who takes a more integrative view or someone with a more conservative, carefully paced prescribing style, you can find support that feels personal, grounded, and responsive to your needs.
Each provider practices independently as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner while working in close collaboration with the LMV Counseling team. That gives you access to medication support in a familiar setting while keeping your care thoughtful and well-coordinated.

What to expect from medication management
Medication management begins with a thoughtful evaluation of your symptoms, mental health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. Your provider will talk with you about whether medication may be helpful, what your options are, and what questions or concerns you may want to explore before moving forward.
Ongoing care includes follow-up appointments to check in on how the medication is affecting you, whether it is helping, and whether any changes are needed. This process is meant to be collaborative and responsive, with space to adjust your treatment over time based on your needs and experience.
When medication support may be worth exploring
Some people seek medication support for long-standing anxiety or depression, while others reach out when symptoms begin to interfere more noticeably with sleep, focus, mood, relationships, or daily functioning.
Our providers work with a range of concerns and take time to assess whether medication may be helpful based on your unique situation.
This may give you a general sense of whether medication support could be helpful, but your care will always be tailored to your specific needs.
The most important part is understanding what you are going through and identifying the support that makes the most sense for you.
How therapy and medication can work together
For some people, therapy and medication work well together. Therapy can offer space to understand patterns, process emotions, build coping tools, and make meaningful changes, while medication may help reduce symptoms that make it harder to access.
This does not mean everyone needs both. But when medication is a good fit, it can be one part of a broader treatment plan that supports healing, stability, and day-to-day functioning.
