A Safe and Effective Approach to Mental Health Treatment
At City Mind Wellness, we understand that for many individuals, medication can play an important role in achieving mental health stability and long-term well-being. Our medication management services are designed to ensure that prescriptions are safe, effective, and tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
We know that starting or continuing medication can feel overwhelming. That’s why our approach combines compassionate care with evidence-based prescribing practices, ensuring that you always feel informed, supported, and in control of your treatment plan.
All of our appointments are conducted via secure telehealth, making it simple and convenient to access care from anywhere in California.
What Is Medication Management?
Medication management is a structured, ongoing process where your provider works with you to evaluate, prescribe, and monitor psychiatric medications that may improve your mental health. It is not simply about writing prescriptions—it’s about making sure that every medication you take is safe, necessary, and helping you meet your goals.
Our providers will:
- Conduct thorough psychiatric evaluations before prescribing.
- Explain medication options, benefits, and possible side effects.
- Monitor your progress through regular check-ins.
- Adjust dosages or switch medications when needed.
- Coordinate with therapy and other treatments to ensure a holistic approach.
Who Can Benefit from Medication Management?
Medication management may be helpful for adolescents (age 13+), adults, and older adults experiencing a variety of mental health challenges. At City Mind Wellness, we often prescribe and manage medications for conditions such as:
- Anxiety Disorders (generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety)
- Depression and Mood Disorders
- ADHD and Attention Challenges
- Bipolar Disorder
- Trauma and PTSD Symptoms
- Sleep Disorders (when related to mental health)
Medication is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution—it’s part of a larger care plan that often includes supportive psychotherapy and lifestyle strategies.
Our Approach to Safe Prescribing
At City Mind Wellness, your safety is always our top priority. That’s why we follow clear guidelines to ensure medications are used responsibly and effectively.
Our Controlled Substances Policy includes:
- Refills only at scheduled visits (no early refills).
- Regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and safety.
- Urine drug screens when appropriate.
- California CURES/PDMP checks to prevent duplicate or unsafe prescribing.
- Case-by-case review of lost or stolen prescriptions (replacements not guaranteed).
- Transition to non-controlled alternatives or referrals if misuse is suspected.
By combining structure with compassion, we keep care safe, fair, and effective for every patient.

What to Expect from a Medication Management Appointment
1. Initial Evaluation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, where your provider takes time to understand your mental health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals.
2. Personalized Prescription Plan
If medication is recommended, we’ll discuss your options in detail. You’ll learn about possible benefits, side effects, and expected timelines for improvement.
3. Regular Follow-Ups
Follow-up visits are essential to monitor progress, adjust dosages, and make sure your treatment continues to support your needs.
4. Ongoing Support
Medication management is not a one-time process. Our team stays connected with you, ensuring that your treatment remains safe, consistent, and effective.
Medication Management for Different Age Groups
