Psychopharmacology
At AHWI Psychology Group, we recognize that for some individuals, medication can play an important role in achieving emotional balance and mental clarity. Psychopharmacology blends the science of psychology and medicine to understand how medications influence mood, attention, behavior, and thought processes.
While we do not prescribe medication, our clinicians hold specialized training in psychopharmacology and work closely with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure seamless, well-informed care.
Our role is to help you understand how medication fits into your broader treatment plan, support informed decision-making, and monitor how therapeutic and medical interventions work together to enhance your wellbeing.
We believe that medication, when used thoughtfully and collaboratively, can be a helpful complement to psychotherapy, supporting lasting emotional and psychological health.
Use of Medications
The thoughtful use of medication can be an important part of treating certain mental health conditions. It requires a solid understanding of how medications affect the brain and behavior, and how they fit within a broader therapeutic plan.
At AHWI Psychology Group, we have advanced training in psychopharmacology and collaborate closely with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and other medical professionals to ensure well-coordinated care.
Our role is to help you understand how medication works, what to expect, and how it can complement therapy to support your overall wellbeing. We believe informed collaboration leads to better outcomes and empowers you to take an active role in your healing process.
