Medication Management Therapists in Hillsboro, 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.

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.

Medication management therapy integrates psychiatric medication support with ongoing therapeutic care to ensure a well-rounded, individualized treatment experience. This approach goes beyond prescribing by exploring how symptoms, stressors, lifestyle, and emotional patterns interact. Sessions include monitoring effectiveness, addressing side effects, and making thoughtful adjustments when needed, while also supporting insight, coping skills, and long-term stability. The focus is collaborative, empowering you to feel informed, supported, and confident in your treatment plan.

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.

Hillsboro is home to Intel's largest site and the anchor of Oregon's Silicon Forest technology corridor, hosting a dense concentration of semiconductor, electronics, and technology companies that makes it one of the most significant tech manufacturing hubs in the United States. The city has grown substantially as a result of tech sector employment and has a notably diverse population including significant Latino and Asian communities alongside the technical workforce, many of whom have relocated for Intel or other tech employment. Washington County Mental Health provides public behavioral health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include tech industry stress and burnout, immigration and acculturation for the city's large immigrant workforce, economic anxiety amid semiconductor industry cycles, and the relocation and community-building challenges of a workforce that has often moved significant distances for career opportunities.
