Through virtual consultations, an Online FPMHNP can assess your Mental Health Medication Management, Personalized Mental Health Care, Integrative Treatment Approach, and prescribe appropriate medications, monitor their effectiveness, and make adjustments as required, ensuring safe and effective management of your mental health condition.

Session length can be variable, according to your individual needs. By default, an Initial session is set for 60 minutes, and follow-up sessions are set for 30 minutes. If we find we need longer or shorter visits, that can be adjusted. The overall goal is to review your needs and discuss them individually, coming up with a plan to address each one.

We will meet most often monthly when starting new medications. Many of the medications take 2-4 weeks to start working and can take 1-2 months to reach their full potential. Once your medication and treatment plans are stable, we can go out further, like 3-6 months apart. If you are in crisis or feeling unstable, we can meet as often as necessary, even weekly. Collaboratively, we will determine how often we should meet to best address your mental health care needs.

Your prescriptions will most often be sent to your chosen pharmacy during or immediately after your session. You can have them sent to any pharmacy you choose. There are also some mail-order pharmacies available if you prefer to have your prescriptions mailed to you.
