Psychiatric Evaluation & Medication Management in Calabasas
Medication can be one part of a broader mental-health treatment plan. FPG provides psychiatric evaluation, consultation and ongoing medication management for children, adolescents and adults when medication may be helpful.
Individualized, collaborative care
A comprehensive initial evaluation considers symptoms, history, current medications, treatment goals, physical health and relevant psychological information. Together, you discuss whether medication may be helpful, the available options, potential benefits and side effects, and how progress will be monitored over time.
Our psychiatrists provide evaluation, consultation and medication management for concerns that may include ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other complex or persistent symptoms. Care is individualized for children, adolescents and adults, including clients who have not responded well to previous therapy or medication regimens.
Psychiatric care can be coordinated with FPG therapists, psychological testing clinicians and other professionals involved in treatment. This team approach can clarify diagnosis, connect medication decisions with the broader treatment plan and help everyone understand how the client is responding.
For children and teens, parents are typically active partners in the evaluation and ongoing care. Families receive clear information about treatment options, expected benefits, possible side effects and questions to watch for so they can make informed decisions and support follow-through at home.
