A calm, supportive moment representing psychiatric care
What is psychiatry?

A Holistic Approach to Mental Health

Psychiatry at Best Fit looks at the whole person, not just symptoms. Our psychiatrists are physicians trained to diagnose conditions and manage medication, with an understanding of how physical and mental health affect each other, working alongside your therapist rather than duplicating what they do.

Most follow-up visits can also be done by telehealth once your treatment plan is established, so ongoing care fits around your schedule.

What to Expect From a Psychiatric Evaluation

Your first visit includes a thorough review of your history, current symptoms, past treatment, and goals. From there, your psychiatrist will recommend a plan, which may include medication, a referral to one of our therapists, or both.

  • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation
  • Optional medication management and ongoing monitoring
  • Direct coordination with your counselor, when you have one
  • Care for children, adults, and families
  • Referral into our Spravato® Plus program when standard treatment hasn't been enough

Many people receive therapy in one office and medication management somewhere else, with little communication between the two. At Best Fit, one team handles both.

Frequently asked questions

Psychiatric Medication, Explained

We see children, teens, adults, and older adults for medication management across conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and insomnia, with care tailored to the needs of each stage of life.
No. Medication targets specific symptoms, not your personality. Most people notice fewer intense symptom-driven feelings, like constant worry or a flat mood, rather than feeling like a different person.
Not necessarily. Most antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers aren't addictive, though your body can adjust to them, which is why stopping is done gradually under your provider's guidance rather than all at once. How long you stay on a medication depends on your specific situation.
Both diagnose, treat, and prescribe for mental health conditions. A psychiatrist completes medical school and a psychiatry residency, while a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) completes an advanced nursing program with a psychiatric specialty. The difference is training pathway, not quality of care, and we'll match you with the provider who best fits your needs.
