Supporting Your Mental Health Journey with Comprehensive Care

Integrated Psychiatry & Therapy Services 

Mental health is complex—and healing often requires a multi-faceted approach. While therapy provides a space to explore emotions, build coping strategies, and foster personal growth, medication management can be a vital tool in helping regulate symptoms and restore balance.

Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or other mental health challenges, medication may offer relief and stability that allows you to fully engage in the therapeutic process.

What Are Psychiatric Services?

When appropriate, our psychiatric providers may incorporate medical treatment as part of a personalized care plan —it’s a collaborative and ongoing process that includes:

• 🩺 Assessment of your symptoms, history, and goals

• 💊 Personalized medication planning based on your unique needs

• 🔄 Monitoring and adjustments to ensure effectiveness and minimize side effects

• 🤝 Open communication between you, your therapist, and your provider

Our licensed psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioners work closely with you to ensure that any medication is part of a holistic treatment plan—one that respects your preferences, values, and lived experience.

Who Is It For?

This type of coordinated care planning may be helpful if you:

• Feel like therapy alone isn’t fully addressing your symptoms

• Experience intense mood swings, panic attacks, or persistent sadness

• Have a history of mental health diagnoses and are seeking continuity of care

• Want to explore medication options in a safe, informed, and supportive environment

What to Expect

At Giesken Counseling Services, we make the process approachable and transparent:

• Initial Consultation – Talk with a qualified provider about your goals and concerns.
  • *Intake for psychiatric services MUST BE IN-PERSON.  After initial intake, online/telehealth appointments may be available if desired.

• Ongoing Support – Regular check‑ins support your progress, with adjustments guided by your feedback.
• Integrated Communication – Your therapist and care planner stay aligned so all parts of your support system work together.

Our focus is on your experience and on helping you feel confident about your care path.

Integrated Care – A Collaborative Approach to Your Well-Being

At Giesken Counseling Services, we believe that the best mental health care happens when your providers work together. That’s why our medication management services are designed to be fully integrated with your therapy experience.

Your therapist and medication provider form a unified support team, sharing insights, coordinating treatment plans, and staying aligned with your goals. This means:

• Your therapist can help identify when medication might be beneficial
• Your provider understands the emotional and behavioral context from your therapy sessions
• Adjustments to medication are made with your full therapeutic picture in mind
• You’re never left navigating between disconnected services—we’re all on the same page

This collaborative model ensures that you remain at the center of your care. Every decision is made with your voice, your values, and your healing journey in mind.

Whether you're exploring medication for the first time or continuing an existing regimen, our integrated care approach helps you feel supported, informed, and empowered—every step of the way.
