Sometimes psychotherapy is not enough by itself and medication may also be needed. If this is your case, please do not feel ashamed. You are among thousands of people who need medication because of a chemical imbalance in the brain.
Studies have actually shown that when therapy and medication are combined, people do better than if they only have one or the other. We enjoy working together, and we see how well our patients feel using a more collaborative approach.
