Affiliation with Psychotherapy Matters
a collaboration between the psychotherapist and a psychiatrist
I believe that mental health care is most effective when professionals work together in support of a client's goals. Through my affiliation with Psychotherapy Matters, clients may have access to an integrated model of care involving collaboration between the psychotherapist and a psychiatrist when clinically appropriate.
This team-based approach allows for coordinated treatment planning, diagnostic clarification, medication consultation, and ongoing communication between providers, with the client's informed consent. By integrating psychotherapy with psychiatric expertise when needed, clients can benefit from a more comprehensive and holistic approach to their mental health care.
Not all clients require psychiatric involvement; however, when additional support is indicated, this collaborative model helps ensure that care is coordinated, individualized, and responsive to each client's unique needs.
