Psychiatric medications are sometimes used alongside individual therapy, especially when treating conditions like depression or anxiety. While our therapists at Clarity Counseling Seattle do not prescribe medication, we often collaborate with prescribing professionals when medication may be helpful.
Therapy and Medication: A Complementary Approach
Research shows that combining therapy with medication can be more effective than either approach alone in many cases. For example, antidepressants may help lift a person’s mood enough to allow deeper, more effective engagement in the therapeutic process—leading to more lasting change.
We maintain working relationships with trusted doctors, naturopaths, and nurse practitioners (ARNPs) in the Seattle area who offer medication evaluations and management. If appropriate, we can help connect you with someone who is a good fit for your needs.
