Medication Management in Mason, OH | Mason Family Counseling

Medication Management

When symptoms won’t let up, or therapy progress stalls, medication can be a helpful part of care. At Mason Family Counseling, our psychiatric providers offer medication management that fits your goals and works hand-in-hand with therapy. We explain options in plain language, monitor benefits and side effects, and adjust carefully so you feel steadier day to day. Appointments are available in person in Mason and via secure telehealth across Ohio. Most insurance accepted; we verify benefits up front.

Thoughtful medication, tailored to you.

How We Approach Medication At Mason Family Counseling

Your plan is collaborative and paced to comfort. We start with a thorough evaluation of your history, current symptoms, past medications, sleep, stress, medical factors, and goals. From there we discuss evidence-based options (e.g., antidepressants, anti-anxiety or augmentation strategies when appropriate), including expected timelines, common side effects, and how we’ll measure progress.

We keep doses conservative at first and adjust gradually, pairing meds with practical skills you’re learning in therapy. When needed, we order labs or coordinate with your primary-care provider or therapist so care stays aligned. If a medication isn’t a fit, we’ll revise the plan promptly. When your symptoms are stable, we consider whether tapering is appropriate. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other health considerations are always factored into shared decision-making.

What Medication Visits Look Like

Most clients begin with an initial evaluation to map history and set goals, followed by regular follow-ups to monitor benefits, side effects, sleep, and daily functioning. Early on, visits are more frequent; as things stabilize, we space them out. Refills are managed during follow-ups to keep your plan safe and current. We e-prescribe to your preferred pharmacy, and when it’s clinically appropriate and allowed by your insurer, telehealth visits can be used for ongoing care. If medication alone isn’t enough—or isn’t indicated—we’ll recommend therapy adjustments or coordinate referrals to the right level of care.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do I have to do therapy too?

We strongly recommend it. Research shows medication works best when combined with therapy. Many clients do both under one roof here.

Can you continue a medication I’m already taking?

Often, yes. We’ll review your history, benefits/side effects, and safety considerations, then decide together whether to continue, adjust, or change.

Do you prescribe controlled medications?

We follow Ohio and federal guidelines and use controlled medications only when clinically appropriate, with monitoring requirements that keep you safe. Some medications may require in-person visits.

How often are appointments and refills?

Typically more frequent at the start, then every 1–3 months once stable. Active follow-up is required for refills so we can track benefits and safety.

Do you see adolescents as well as adults?

Yes. We provide age-appropriate care for many teens and adults. Call to confirm the best fit for your child’s needs.

Is telehealth available for medication visits?

Yes, when clinically appropriate and permitted by your plan. We’ll help you decide what’s best.

Will insurance cover medication management?

Most plans include outpatient psychiatric services. We’ll verify your benefits up front and review any out-of-pocket costs.
