Medication Management: More than just antidepressants
Thoughtful, Evidence-Based Medication Support for Mental Health
At The Lotus Center for Healing & Wellness, we approach medication management as a partnership in healing—not a one-size-fits-all prescription for antidepressants. Our compassionate APRN providers specialize in tailoring care for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders using antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and SSRIs or SNRIs only when needed and always with close monitoring.
We believe in treating mental health conditions with as few medications as possible, exploring natural approaches and lifestyle factors that can complement or reduce medication use. Every plan begins with understanding you—your symptoms, genetics, and life context—so that your treatment supports sustainable wellness, not just symptom relief.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Personalized, Integrative Assessments
Your first consultation includes a thorough review of your mental and physical health, nutrition, sleep, and stress patterns. We look beyond symptoms to uncover potential underlying causes such as hormonal or nutritional imbalances that may contribute to anxiety or depression.
Precision Medicine & Genetic Insight
When appropriate, we use pharmacogenomic testing—a DNA-based test that helps us understand how your body metabolizes medications. This allows us to select the safest and most effective options, whether that includes an SSRI, a mood stabilizer, or a nasal spray for depression and anxiety like Spravato (esketamine).
Collaborative, Compassionate Care
Our providers collaborate closely with therapists and other Lotus Center clinicians to ensure your medication plan aligns with your broader care goals. We also explore supportive options like mindfulness, IV vitamin infusions, and other natural treatments for depression as part of an integrative treatment plan.
