The nurse practitioners at St. Paul’s Center can prescribe and manage psychiatric medication for their clients. Our practitioners partner with clients on making medication decisions and above all else respect their preferences with regard to their own healthcare. Medication is always approached as a discussion with clients.

A client may have a history of taking psychiatric medication and seeks a continuation or change to his or her medications. In another scenario a client may have limited to no experience with psychiatric medication. Regardless of the situation, our practitioners will always partner with the client.

The taking of medication is not a requisite for seeking treatment at St. Paul’s Center. While psychiatric medications may provide relief, our practitioners understand the importance of regular talk therapy and holistic treatment in aiding clients towards their goals of wellbeing.

Our practitioners are additionally sensitive to the financial challenges of acquiring medication. We can assist patients in navigating prescription assistance programs and exploring alternatives.
