Medication Management Therapists in Richmond, VA

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.

Dr. Baumgardner works with a talented and experienced prescriber. Together they can provide seamless care for you if you need medicine as well as therapy.

We provide psychological care that includes close collaboration with prescribing providers to support effective medication management when medication is part of treatment. Our approach integrates psychotherapy with ongoing monitoring of symptoms, side effects, and overall functioning to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care. We work with clients to understand how medication fits within their broader treatment plan, while also focusing on evidence-based therapeutic strategies to address emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns. The goal is to optimize outcomes through a well-coordinated, team-based approach to mental health care.

Medication management involves the careful oversight of psychiatric medications to ensure they are effectively addressing your mental health needs. Our psychiatrist provides guidance on medication options, monitors side effects, and adjusts treatment plans as necessary. This collaborative approach aims to optimize your mental health treatment and support your overall recovery. MAT/MOUD can also be used to reduce cravings and withdrawals for substance use disorders.

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I evaluate, diagnose and treat patients with mental health disorders. This includes medication management when appropriate.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
