Medication Management

As part of our comprehensive mental health care, Dr. Handy-Robinson, recommends and prescribes medications, when appropriate. 

As a prescribing psychologist, Dr. Handy-Robinson offers an integrated and comprehensive approach to care that combines the power of therapy and medication management to offer you a holistic treatment approach, with the added benefit of saving you time and money.

Typically, medication management (or pharmacotherapy)  involves an initial evaluation of your need for psychotropic medications. From there, treatment monitoring will aim to reduce or manage concerning symptoms while also ensuring the prescribed medications are effective and safe. As the relationship continues, treatment may include adjusting doses, starting/stopping medications, or exploring alternative options.

ADHD Coaching

Solution-focused ADHD treatment (more commonly known as ADHD coaching) is a short-term psychotherapy aimed at helping individuals with ADHD achieve practical goals. It’s like having a skilled guide who understands the unique challenges of ADHD, such as difficulty with focus, organization, and time management. Instead of just telling you what to to, an ADHD coach works with you to understnad your ADHD, set realistic goals, develop personalized strategies, build motivation and accountability, and improve self-confidence. Dr. Thorne is here to help you unlock your potential by providing tools and support you need to navigate life with ADHD more effectively.
