Medication Management Therapists in Eugene, OR

Medication Management therapy is a collaborative process between patients and healthcare providers and myself to ensure all medications (prescription and over-the-counter drugs) are taken safely, effectively, and as prescribed to minimize side effects and prevent dangerous drug interact.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric medication management within a holistic, integrative framework that considers the whole person—not just symptoms. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, focusing on selecting and optimizing medications while also addressing lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and overall well-being that impact mental health. When appropriate, I offer pharmacogenetic testing, including GeneSight, to help guide medication selection and improve the likelihood of finding effective, well-tolerated treatment options. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports stability, improves functioning, and aligns with their goals and values. When appropriate, I also integrate supportive therapy and practical coping strategies to promote long-term healing, balance, and overall wellness.

Medication Management At MaVie Behavioral Health, we offer safe, virtual buprenorphine (Suboxone) therapy for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), alongside first-line medical options for depression and anxiety. Because recovery is most successful when treating the whole person, our prescribers (MDs, PMHNPs, PAs) collaborate directly with our licensed counselors to ensure your medical treatment aligns seamlessly with your therapy goals. We provide convenient, non-judgmental virtual evaluations and ongoing prescription management—helping you stabilize, prevent relapse, and build a solid foundation for long-term recovery entirely from home.

Finding the right combination of support can make a meaningful difference in your mental health. Medication management can help monitor the effectiveness of psychiatric medications, address side effects or concerns, and make thoughtful adjustments when appropriate. Therapy provides an additional space to understand your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and life experiences while developing practical coping skills. Outpatient mental health care can support concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, ADHD, stress, and other mental health challenges. When medication management and therapy are used together, care can address both symptom management and the underlying patterns and experiences that affect your well-being. The goal is individualized care that supports greater stability, functioning, and quality of life.

Finding the right medication can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our providers take the time to understand your story, your symptoms, and your goals. Together, we’ll explore options, make thoughtful adjustments, and check in regularly to be sure your treatment truly supports you. At Balance, medication management is about more than prescriptions—it’s about helping you feel better, with care that’s steady, supportive, and designed around you.

Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and has a strong progressive, arts-driven identity, with a notably high density of therapists relative to its population and a community that generally holds therapy in high regard. The city's significant homelessness crisis, economic inequality, and substance use challenges sit in some tension with its progressive reputation, and therapists in Eugene often work across the full spectrum of economic circumstance. Lane County Behavioral Health provides publicly funded services, while a robust private therapy sector caters to university faculty, students, healthcare workers, and the outdoor recreation and arts communities. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and life transitions, and the stresses of living in a city grappling openly with housing insecurity and addiction alongside an otherwise strong quality of life.
