Psychiatric Evaluations & Medication Management

Psychiatric evaluations and medication management at Dominick All-Heart Wellness Center are grounded in careful assessment, clinical judgment, and ongoing collaboration, with the goal of supporting mental health care that is thoughtful, individualized, and sustainable.

What Is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to understand an individual’s mental health concerns, history, and current needs. This process helps guide accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and appropriate next steps.

Evaluations may include a review of symptoms, prior treatments, medical history, psychosocial factors, and current medications. The goal is to develop a clear clinical picture that supports informed decision-making.

Our Approach to Medication Management

Medication management is offered as one component of comprehensive psychiatric care. When medications are part of treatment, they are prescribed thoughtfully, monitored carefully, and adjusted as clinically appropriate over time.

At our clinic, medication management emphasizes:

Individualized treatment planning
Conservative and evidence-based prescribing
Ongoing monitoring for effectiveness and side effects
Clear communication and shared decision-making

Medication is not viewed as a standalone solution, but as one tool within a broader care plan.

Who May Benefit From Psychiatric Care

Psychiatric evaluations and medication management may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:

Mood or anxiety-related concerns
Depression or treatment-resistant symptoms
Trauma-related symptoms
Attention, focus, or concentration difficulties
Co-occurring mental health and substance-related concerns

A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is required to determine whether this treatment approach is appropriate.

Important Considerations

IM ketamine may not be appropriate for everyone. Certain medical, psychiatric, or substance-related factors may affect eligibility and are reviewed carefully during the evaluation process.

Additional considerations include:

Medical screening prior to treatment
Required monitoring during and after sessions
Transportation arrangements following treatment
Individual response varies and cannot be predicted

A comprehensive evaluation helps determine the most appropriate course of care.
