Psychiatric Medication Support
FEEL MORE BALANCED. HEAL WITH EXPERT CARE.
Struggling with anxiety, mood changes, or focus issues? Psychiatric symptoms can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to manage them alone. White Orchid Counseling offers compassionate medication support from a board-certified nurse practitioner with extensive psychiatric and primary care experience, helping you feel more in control of your mental health and daily life.
Whether you’re newly considering medication or need ongoing management, our team is here to walk with you every step of the way—providing clarity, support, and personalized care tailored to your needs.
What Is Psychiatric Medication Support?
Psychiatric Medication Support is a collaborative process between you and a licensed prescriber to determine if psychiatric medication may be beneficial for your mental health. Our approach emphasizes informed decision-making, ongoing monitoring, and open communication.
Care is provided by Dr. Vonnise R. Hussey, DNP, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with experience in both primary care and psychiatric settings, including adolescent inpatient psychiatry, pediatric intensive care, and adult medicine.
What to Expect From Medication Support
Our prescribing team provides thoughtful, individualized care tailored to your specific needs. We take time to understand your history, answer your questions, and develop a plan that prioritizes both safety and symptom relief. Here’s what to expect:
Initial Evaluation:
60-minute intake appointment
Comprehensive review of symptoms, medical history, and current medications
Collaborative discussion of treatment options
Ongoing Medication Management:
Follow-up sessions to adjust dosage and monitor progress
Symptom tracking and side effect review
Support for integrating medication into your overall wellness plan
In-Person & Telehealth Available:
Services are currently available throughout Illinois and the greater Chicago metro area. Telehealth options ensure access from the comfort of your home.
This personalized prescribing process is designed to help you manage symptoms with clarity, confidence, and compassionate medical care—so you can feel more balanced in your daily life.
Who Can Benefit From Psychiatric Medication Support?
Mental health struggles can impact every area of life—work, relationships, energy, focus, and more. Whether symptoms have recently emerged or have been present for years, medication support can be a helpful part of your healing journey. Our providers offer care for a range of emotional and behavioral concerns with thoughtful, evidence-based guidance.
Managing Anxiety, Mood, and Focus Issues:
Support for those experiencing persistent anxiety, depression, irritability, or attention difficulties that interfere with daily functioning. Medication can reduce symptom intensity and improve overall well-being.
Finding Support Beyond Therapy Alone:
Some clients benefit from combining therapy with medication, especially when progress feels stalled or symptoms remain overwhelming. We work collaboratively with your therapist or recommend integrated support when needed.
Ongoing Monitoring and Medication Adjustments:
If you’re already on psychiatric medication and need a provider to monitor, adjust, or renew your prescriptions, we offer ongoing care to ensure your treatment remains safe, effective, and aligned with your goals.
Whether you’re beginning a new chapter in your mental health care or continuing an existing plan, our medication support team is here to help you feel grounded, informed, and well-supported.
