Medication Management
While MCNY specializes in therapy and counseling services, we partner with trusted psychiatric providers in the community to support clients who may benefit from medication management alongside their therapy.
How It Works
When your therapist believes medication may support your treatment goals, we coordinate directly with our community partners to make the process seamless.
Talk with Your Therapist
During your sessions, your MCNY therapist may recommend a psychiatric evaluation if medication could support your progress.
We Coordinate the Referral
Your therapist will connect you with one of our trusted psychiatric partners and share relevant clinical information (with your consent) to ensure continuity of care.
Ongoing Collaboration
Your therapist and prescriber work together to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
