Medication Management in Ellicott City, MD
Finding the Right Medication, Together
Psychiatric medication can be an important tool, but only when it’s prescribed thoughtfully and monitored closely.
Our medication management service focuses on understanding your full picture—your symptoms, health history, and how medication fits into your life—so treatment feels intentional, supportive, and responsive as your needs change.
Comprehensive Medication Management Services
Our psychiatric medication management services are designed to support your full mental health journey with evidence-based, personalized care that works alongside therapy and behavioral health services. We offer:
Detailed Psychiatric Evaluations: A thorough psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms, history, health conditions, and goals before recommending medication.
Ongoing Medication Monitoring and Follow-up: Regular check-ins allow us to track progress, manage side effects, and adjust treatment for better symptom relief.
Personalized Medication Selection and Dosing: Finding the right medication and dosage based on your unique needs, health concerns, and treatment goals.
Refill and Continuity Management: Timely refill management so you’re not left without medication or scrambling between appointments.
Medication Initiation and Titration: Careful initiation of medication with gradual, thoughtful dose adjustments to find what works best for your body and mind.
Integrated Care with Therapy and Behavioral Health: Collaboration with your therapist to align medication support with psychotherapy and behavioral health treatment.
Psychiatric Medication Management for Diverse Mental Health Needs
Mental health rarely fits into one category, and treatment shouldn’t either. We provide psychiatric care for a wide range of conditions, taking time to understand how symptoms show up in your daily life and how they intersect with your overall health.
Our team supports adults managing conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, ADHD, and other psychiatric concerns.
Whether symptoms are newly emerging or long-standing, care is guided by careful evaluation, evidence-based treatment, and ongoing collaboration.
NeuroStar TMS: An Option When Progress Feels Limited
For some people, medication and therapy bring meaningful relief. For others, symptoms continue to linger despite careful treatment. When that happens, it can feel discouraging, but it doesn’t mean you’ve run out of options.
NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a non-drug, non-invasive treatment that works directly on areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
TMS is FDA-cleared and often used when symptoms haven’t fully responded to medication alone. It can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan, alongside therapy and psychiatric care, or used as an alternative for those who haven’t found the right fit with medications.
TMS sessions are outpatient, require no anesthesia, and involve minimal side effects. If you’re feeling stuck or wondering what else might help, TMS may be worth exploring.

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is only available by prescription. A doctor can help decide if NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is right for you. Patients’ results may vary.
The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. These events are transient; they occur during the TMS treatment course and do not occur for most patients after the first week of treatment. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with the use of TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient). Visit neurostar.com for full safety and prescribing information.
