No, therapy is not required for medication management. However, combining therapy with medication is often the most effective treatment approach for many individuals. Many medication management appointments include a simple therapy session to discover how the medications may be affecting your life and other stressors that may impact your care. Your provider will discuss your options and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your needs.

Therapy: The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual’s needs. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (a few sessions), while others may continue for several months or even longer.

Medication management: After your initial assessment, follow-up visits are typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks to monitor your medication's effectiveness and address any concerns.
