Personalized Medication Management Focused on You
Medication should do more than address a diagnosis. The goal is to help you function better at school, work, home, and in your relationships.
Michael Schreiber Therapy provides Brookline medication management for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, sleep concerns, stress, and other psychiatric symptoms.
You receive one-on-one care with attention to how you are actually feeling. Medication choices and adjustments are based on your symptoms, treatment goals, response to medication, side effects, and overall quality of life.
The benefit is care that evolves with you instead of simply receiving a prescription and being left to figure out the rest.
Who is medication management for?
Medication management may be helpful if anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, poor sleep, changing moods, or persistent stress are interfering with your daily life.
It can also be appropriate if you are considering psychiatric medication for the first time, want another perspective on your current medication, or feel your existing treatment is not providing the improvement you hoped for.

Why should I choose you for medication management services?
Michael Schreiber Therapy offers something that can be difficult to find in larger mental health settings: consistent, personal care from one provider who takes the time to understand you.
Michael is both a psychiatric nurse practitioner and an experienced psychotherapist. This allows medication decisions to be considered alongside stress, relationships, thought patterns, lifestyle, and the other factors affecting your mental health.

You are treated as a person, not simply a diagnosis.
Medication Management and Therapy in One Practice
Mental health symptoms rarely exist on their own.
Anxiety may affect your sleep. ADHD may make school or work overwhelming. Depression can reduce motivation and confidence. Relationship problems can increase stress, while persistent stress can make psychiatric symptoms more difficult to manage.
Combining psychotherapy with medication management can help address symptoms from more than one direction.
Medication may help reduce the intensity of symptoms, while therapy can help you improve coping skills, communication, thought patterns, emotional awareness, and the way you respond to challenging situations.
