WHY REFER OUT FOR PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION?
We realize the importance of medication in the treatment of many emotional and mental illnesses. To facilitate comprehensive treatment, our medical director is available to provide psychopharmacological management in partnership with patients’ primary care physicians. Irwin Schussler, DO, FACN, is a board certified psychiatrist who, in addition to dealing with psychiatric issues, can provide assistance in ruling out non-psychiatric causes of symptoms (e.g., thyroid functioning in depression, etc.), referring back to primary care physicians for medical evaluation. In combination with our philosophy that medication management works best in conjunction with therapy, we hope to assure a holistic approach to patient care.
